Why is it that the LGBT community put demands on heterosexual individuals, when their concept or belief is centered around freedom of expression, speech and all open freedoms. The LGBT community is a genuine role model to ineffective movements

Dude, you guys need to read the article. It's used to threaten gay people so it shouldn't be sung, that's all. And it's only ineffective because people like you are so homophobic you only read when they say you SHOULDN'T do something.

I'm not the greatest fan of Ms. Greene but how she approached this topic I think is very mature and sensible. I play this song quite often and one day recognized that my young daughters were now singing the lyrics. As a responsible parent I did explain to both of them what the lyrics meant (I didn't know the background as stated above) so that they were not ignorant of the fact that their chanting the words may one day offend many people. I certainly intend to go to this concert.

I am in the stretch on to 70 years old. . .I heard that song for many years. . .but I never understood the lyrics of the song. . .further more, one ignorant bigoted man can't make me hate, discriminate of kill a person for being gay. . .if I do, then I will have to start with one of my own!! But miss Green should be the last person encouraging censoring any person because her community don't like his song. . .in a country where freedom of expression is enshrined in our constitution!! She must remember that the Bahamian society do not "freely embrace" her life style. . .yet she insisted that censorship is the right way to quite free speech rather that toleration of adverse opinions! He very action make censorship common law. . .others can use her decision in a court of law if they find them self before a judge for censoring a person for being gay!!

I see your point, but these lyrics are threatening towards other people, and THAT'S why she says they should be censored. This is a very delicate topic, though.

he's such an important Afro-diasporic and Caribbean cultural figure that i am gonna forget what an angry dyke i am and go see the concert myself cus errybody ga be dere!!!

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COMMENT I HAVE EVER READ OHMYGOD

There is a difference between free speech and speech that incites violence. It's criminal to threaten one w physical harm and it's criminal to recruit agents for that purpose. Hate whomevever you want, that's a personal issue. Hopefully Mr. Banton will continue to inspire oppressed people to resist colonial and imperial domination. Hopefully, he now understands that those same power structures use the strategy of divide and conquer to maintain power over the oppressed. I agree w Erin Greene's position of communities accepting complexity and at the same time prohibiting incitement to murder.

When the referendum for gender equality was unitially proposed Ms. Green came out as the spokesperson for her community in favor of it. In my iopinion thst support helped to fuel the ‘no’ vote and I guess she realized her mistake and tried to backtrack by saying she and her community were voting against it. People seemed to become even more suspicious and by the time the voters got around to actually voting the ‘no’ vote was firmly entrenched in their minds and the whole bill was dubbed ‘the sissy bill’. To this day I believe Erin Green’s initial support helped to kill the bill. Now here we are again with a statement from her saying ‘Bu Ju’ cannot sing his ‘boom boom’ song and again it seems to be having the opposite affect because social media is now crucifying her. Every post, all day I’m reading hundreds of remarks about Ms Green 99% of which are extremely negative. Not only has her press realease brought attention to the song, but the persons who clearly plan to attend seem determined to get the artist to either sing the song or find a way to sing it themselves just to show her up.

Ms Green needs to take stock. In my mind she is not the best representative of this community because even her picture seems to incite the very hate she fights against and her press releases seem to draw out the very rebellion she wants to suppress.

I predict the song will be played or sung by the crowd just to make her look like a fool. #my5cents

Hm. Maybe so. Why does everybody hate her I wonder, though?

Yes or no. For comrade director immigration have answered the reporter's simple - was there work permit granted question would have violated the Official Secrets Act...... have all connected Imperials lost their marbles. Yes, no?

... but, but what about those who want to go just to hear that song, what about their rights??

It incites/supports gay violence. Sorry my dude, but it's like playing a song that says you should lynch all black people. Hope you enjoy the concert anyway?
