Homophobia 101: How Not To Gain Fans

Well, you don't tell the gay and lesbian community, "F- Them," as reggae artist Buju Banton said in an interview with Billboard Magazine about a coalition of black gays and lesbians who successfully halted his recent concerts in major U.S. cities due to his homophobic lyrics.

But they're not just homophobic lyrics. They're lyrics that call for outright violence against gays and lesbians... and reinforce typical homophobic thoughts and opinions from the island of Jamaica.

Jasmyne Cannick and Keith Boykin have more details about the Buju Banton story on their sites... and have really taken the lead on making sure this story stays in the public eye.
