Freedom of speech? I think Jamaica still allows it's people that. Unlike the U.S.A. We are not really allowed to voice our opinions anymore. So many of us Americans are against these gay rights movements and are just scared of opening our mouths.
We are being driven by society and led by our tongue. Step out of line and you lose your job or get a lawsuit. This is like communist regime. When will we get back the true m5eaning of "freedom of speech"

Now, if you ever want to see a dumb comment just check out the one prior to mine (Wed. 17th Aug at 15:55). This person is suggesting that black people are dumb because we don't do what white racist people do. In other words, whatever white people do is smart and what we as an ethnic group of our own volition cannot be smart.
Furthermore, the silly person who posted got his/her facts totally wrong. S/he claims that there are not many gays among whites anymore - WRONG! The number of white people 'coming out' is growing. Check the research. Similarly, s/he thinks that gayness is suddenly 'rampant' among Blacks - WRONG! There has always been a plethora of Black gay people but they did not make themselves known for fear of alienation from a backward society. As laws come in to protect gays and with society gradually becoming sensible and having changing attitudes more Black gays are finding the confidence to say 'I am'. As a result, you get a false perception that the number of African-Caribbean gays has mushroomed.

Homosexuals, as all human beings aspire to live a peaceful existence without prejudice. Homosexuals have been making it very clear that they did not ask to be gay and be subjected to ridicule by normal society. I understand and accept that, but before I was able to, I actually sat down with a lesbian and question the obvious. For some people they don't understand it so they can't accept it. Fair enough , afterall it isn't easy to comprehend their sexual relationship.

Jamaicans have not been as quick as some society or culture in it's tolerance of homosexuality. And some reggae artistes have expressed their strong sentiments on the subject in their music.

Older Jamaicans were brought up in a time years back when homosexuality was not the norm. Some people who now embrace homosexuality probably did not readily do so in the distant pass. Some people may never change their position on the matter for personal or religious reasons, and it's their prerogative.

I know ignorance exist, but surely we can try to be civil and agree to disagree. No need to lambaste one another over our comments. We are all obliged and entitled to our opinion, and rightly so. Afterall, this is still a touchy issue for many people, gays and non-gays. Whether people are for and against homosexuality, homosexuals have be very open and active in embracing and promoting their gay-ness(through parades) over the past several decades, so it's not exactly a new issue.
Homosexuality is today's norm.

I totally support this strong and talented Black man for setting precedence - Doing what others would never dare to think or do because they are given to the intolerance and learnt biases that were passed down to them.

Gays are human beings with a wealth of creativity to offer the world. They are God's children just as much as the heterosexuals. It is full time people put aside their hatred and focus on love. Where is the proof that God hates gays? So far only man keeps talking about God hating gays, but God himself has never shown his displeasure with gays. God is love and mercy and is a Just God - It is the Heart of man that matters, not your sexual orientation. Those who can't love gays, can't love Christ!

what has single american women got to do with calling for tolerance between gays and the most of the straight community all the lewd remark made did anyone of these people bother to listen to the cd i think most of them just heard the word gay and that just trigger the hate the bigotry and discrimination for gay inside of them he without sin cause the first stone all mista majah p is saying stop the hate and before anybody with hatred for gays make a comment they should listen to the cd first then comment on the artist word not how he look and question is rastafarian faith lets keep the conversation fair comment on the cd not the man

Well done Mistah Majah P. Please ignore all the condemnatory remarks made by some intolerant and selfish people here. You're not saying that you want to jump into bed with gay people - you're simply saying people differ and it's about time we accept that. Many people will reject gay life (which is about love and hurts no one) but they go on to endorse artists who take drugs and sell drugs and incite hatred and even gangster violence against others who offend them. They will praise such artists - "Ah my artist that" - but when someone like you tries to teach love and tolerance they lambast, defame and tear you down. Morality is not two-faced. That is the kind of hypocrisy that you are trying to strip away. Don't be daunted - keep up your good work - with more people like you the world can only become a more peaceful and loving place.
One last thing, we Jamaicans and other Caribbean nationals should least of all be judgemental about minority groups - we should be the last to persecute any group because our forefathers underwent that kind of treatment simply for being something that they had no choice over - being black. Many (not all) gays have no choice on what they feel and who they fall in love with. Just as no straight man would want to be forced to love a man - similarly, no gay man wants to be forced to love a woman because his chemistry does not work that way. Everyone deserves to be happy - if you are accusing in the name of religion then leave it to god to judge. If you're not using religion then it's none of your business anyway - it's between the man and his man. Keep your nose on your face and out of other people's face.
I know many people will reply to this with passionate rebuttals but I am not going to engage in time-wasting debate today because I've found that most of the intolerants are stubborn and close-minded and not willing to listen, think and reason - they are just locked in the brainwash of traditions and outdated attitudes that have been inculcated since their childhood.

why such harch comment the people who hating and discriminating against gay why and question what is a real rasta man just because he has on ear ring andkeep himself clean and speak against hate that dont make him a rasta man come people he should be applauded for finally standing up to beenie man ,bounty killer sizzla,capleton and all these homophobic reggae artist ,i bet all of them is gonna keep quite let see them speak out against this artist and this album i dare them

Having dread locks does not make you a ras, this man is obviously,sporting dread locks for style, he is gay as a bird!!!

I don't hate gays I hate the life style. The same way they have a right to be who they choose to be I have a right to say I don't condone that lifestyle. If you are against the laws of procriation then you shouldn't enjoy the seed of it, so I said no to gays adopting children. A child comes from a man and a woman so how can two men teach a child how to be a lady likewise two women teach a child how
to be a man.

This us a welcomed change, because we that work with gays area feeling the their outrage at how our people treat them. This is the start.

Well done for rising above ignorant and narrow bigotry and being willing to tell the truth.

Long overdue...

Much appreciated

Tw points re the article though:

1) that LGBT stands for 'Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender' - your article left out 'bisexual'
2) I object to The Voice saying "On the album, Mista Majah P, who is NOT gay, calls for love and tolerance"

There is no reason to put "NOT gay" in large caps unless the person writing that is homophobic themselves..."not gay" would have been sufficient....

this fella is obviously gay he wants is to believ that he as righteous individual can turn and say sodomy a corrupted and iniquituous life style is acceptable he is disgraceful. any man who condones homosexual behaviour is a corrupt and abominable person and their misery on that gay day for being that voice that defies all the teachings of the many messengers and prophets who has expressed the dissatisfaction that the "ALMIGHTY GOD" has for this peculiar behaviour which is why he made all life forms in pairs every thing in the universe including the stars are made in pairs
