I don't agree at all. If it was something like 9/11, then yeah, who gives a shit what a celebrity thinks? It helps no one. It does no good. But part of the reason homophobia is so widespread is because of an accepted environment. The more figures that come out against that, the more it effects people's opinions.

I suppose you're right. I'm still not happy about it. It's a problem with celebrities. Can some dumb fool become so popular that suddenly his/her views become the paragon of society? Should Kim Kardashian's opinions be shaping foreign policy?

Lets hear what Jah thinks about this.

This is all I care about. WHERE IS JA?!

EDIT: Interesting, Ja already gave his opinion.

Beenie Man is literally the last person I'd expect or care to speak out on this.

Nope, Old Boy Sizzler is the last person I'd expect. Especially considering the string of concerts he had canceled on him in Europe a few months ago.

Same. If you know his music you know why. I'm still going wtf. Wonder how the reaction to this is back in Jamaica.

you guys who keep making the ja rule joke are missing chappelle's point entirely. rap and hip-hop actually has a history with the issue of homosexuality. this isn't 9/11.

That's like saying country music has a history with the issue of terrorism just because a few songs were about 9/11.

Gays and teenage white girls are the only two demographics still paying for music.

That's cynical as fuck and I'm only half joking.

Lol if Sizzla comes out with something then I know this is all bullshit

But for now, as a Blackman in thr black community, if more artists are vocally in support of gay marriage then it's s good thing

Loving what's happening right now
