Hey, he wrote it a long time ago. That was when he was 15 and Jamaica was really intolerant. (Granted, that may have exacerbated the problem a bit.) I just hope he can...not necessarily denounce....but like, admit that the song hurt people and encourage people to be more tolerant to members of the LGBT community.

Oh my god. Please read my profile name and replace the "u" with an "i".

In the 1950s or so, the majority also wanted to lynch black people. This was illegal. Does that mean that the law was undermining their freedom of speech? Just because the majority wants something, doesn't make it right. The majority may want the purge, but that's not happening anytime soon. If the majority was considered everytime a decision had to be done, everybody who's not white would probably be stuck in slavery. this song is encouraging the killing of people. how the hell would you feel if someone was encouraging people to kill you for stupid crap that you can't control. You might be offending people for the colour of your skin. What're you gonna do about that? Nobody ever said that Buju can't sing any of his songs, we're just saying that he shouldn't encourage violence like this. Personally, I DO hope he does something about his song because it's being used to reference and incite violence and stuff. Not asking him to change his opinion about gay people (except the violence stuff) or anything, I just hope he can acknowledge that that song is hurting a lot of people and do something to change that. Honestly, though, you're just an idiot. Can you read? It addresses people like you in the article.

Um? You are straight with a boyfriend?

Are you an actual idiot? People are actually getting hurt because of hateful people and ignorant people like you who go on about the "gay agenda". Honestly, the thing with Canada, it's considered hate speech the same way people are called the n-word. Sometimes its not to insult, but other times its an on purpose thing to hurt people. Transgender women are called transgender women because they are one, and when some people (probably you) decide to call them that, it hurts because you're not respecting their decision as a person. It's hate speech because, yes, it undermines others' freedom of speech. They're not asking you to agree with anything going on, who said anything about that?, they're just asking not to be beat up or insulted for who they are, and to respect their decision by calling them what they'd like to be called. If you didn't want somebody to call you something, maybe it made you uncomfortable, and they insisted on doing it over and over, wouldn't you feel upset? Hopefully you understand now. Also, please consider what you're posting before you do it. You never know how much your words may hurt others.
