Jamaican entertainer Buju Banton had his $50,000-bail extended and was asked to return to court on October 19 to answer a charge of assault. He appeared last week in the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court.
The entertainer, accused of participating in the beating of six men said to be homosexuals, was mobbed by supporters outside the court.
A number of them carrying placards, the entertainer's supporters gathered across the street from the courthouse, proclaiming anti-homosexual statements and protesting Banton's innocence. Allegations before the court are that Banton was among a group of men who barged into a house on Carlisle Avenue in Kingston in June last year and beat six men whom they accused of being homosexuals. The entertainer has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Banton was among eight Jamaican dancehall artistes who had come under pressure from gay rights lobby groups in Europe and the United States for their gay-bashing lyrics. Several of these artistes have had a number of their stage shows cancelled because of pressure from the gay rights groups.

Buju
First, i must say that i am a big fan of Buju. Personally, I don't agree with homosexuality. On the other hand there is only one "JUDGE" who can pass judgement, and that is the creator. I grew up in JA and was always thought that it was wrong, but after living here (US) for some time I realized that I am not the one to condem homo. It is true, they are people too. We don't know what causes people to be attracted to the same sex, maybe it is a sickness who knows. We could go on and on about if it is wrong or wright, but the bottom line is every one live their lives the way they want.

What's going on?
I feel that Buju is expressing a common feeling or belief within in his culture, which is "batti man affi ded". Everyone that knows Caribbean culture knows that gay and lesbian lifestyle is not approved of. I am not saying that Buju is right IF he did do it, but why is this gay business spreading all of a sudden? I say people are making it seem as if it is ok. Even de likkle gal dem a walk roun an a chat bout dem luv woman?!!! What kind of madness is this? You are only fifteen how do you know what your sexual preference is? Just like Parasuco, Pepe, and baggy jeans, homosexuality is becoming a fad that everyone wants to be down with. I do not agree with the actual beating of a person because of their sexual orientation, but just like they feel free to open about how they feel toward the same sex, I feel that Buju cyan seh wah 'im feel "Boom Bye Bye in a battibwoy 'ead!!!

all of this hating haveto stop amongst or caribbean people . we are humans and r all equal no matter wat country we are from. all of our countries have their down falls so y r we hating on one in other. in fact we need to learn have to embrace each others culture. we all came from one place n that was africa. we just was separated by our fore-founders n adopted to the culture an environment that we was places in so let us live as one people n not bring no culture down.

Wrong Is Wrong, Sin Is Sin
My take on the "old" situation is that if yuh say God is great then you believe in God. Jesus was aways burning a fire on all Batty boy. If a gay guy can show me anything in the bible that support them, then i will leave my woman a tek a man of their choice. society say weed (even though i do not smoke) is wrong but it ok for a man stink up the place with another man. No wonder the youth of today take no advise from the older heads

"Read your Bible"
If God says its wrong then ITS WRONG!That being said , we need to leave it to God. As for all of you homosexuals who professed to be gay on this forum, all I can say is 'God help yu!' because in His word He said that He gave over people like you to a reprobate mind & that is exactly what's happening. Check Romans 1:26-29!
As for the person who is blaming P.J. dat nuh right, yu eva catch di man ah do it yet? The law is the law & no one has the right to beat another human being , it's not our duty nor our job to perform such actions. Jah Bless!

Give the gays a break !
When will the Caribbean wise up and accept people for who they are ..... gays , straight , bi or abstain , we all have our own sexual desire and so therefore We all have a choice as to who we sleep with . caribbean ppl , Do you really believe that gay ppl truly want to be gay ? Do you believe they enjoy being teased , laughed at , redicule by ppl like us ? have you ever asked a gay person why are they gay ? i am certain you may learn a few lessons based on the answers that they will give to you ! how would we feel if one of the victim were our brotha , father or son ? we need to be more compassionate than this . We are behaving like we have a right to attack ppl because we don't like what they do or practice ... that's not our right ! we have a right to respect the choices of each other .

Build to Build not to Destroy
Greetings,
I hope this reaches everyone in good health. We as children of the Creator have no rite to JUDGE. Indeed thing in our society maybe wrong we feel in our hearts but we still do not have the power of the CREATOR to judge. Let those who you feel live in sin die in sin. No future for those who participate in that UGLYNESS. As stated before man on man or women on women have no future (they cannot produce a child). But we as children of the Creator must overstand were just children an will make mistakes. Let those mistakes be punished by the Creator (the FATHER)but teach our youth the teachings of the Creator so that the youth will know. Our actions are the only thing the youth see so we must watch what and how we manifest for the Creator. There so many test casted by the Creator an indeed it is in prophecy so lets us Afro children pass and let the colonialist fail. Until next time.
Have a blessed day/year,

Re: Ignorance by our people
I cant beleive that individual would make such a post trying to defend a homosexual act, if you were a true west indian you would know how corrupt that act is and is non progressive for society because same sex cannot reproduce for the future. Homosexuality is nothing but a hedonistic craving of flesh and tree hugging liberals like yourself will be the ones that tolerate the downfall of society you need to wake up and support the artist, this is the last stand we have it happens in this country i live in that i have no control of but i support any one in Jamaica who fights to protect our decent way of life

ignorance is the prey of our ppl
i find the comments on this subject so ... petty and ignorant . i believe ppl should be free to express their sexual orientation in their own privacy and not be ostracised . LIVE AND LET LIVE ! let our ppl live the life that they feel and know is true to themselves to live . Unless , we caribbean ppl wake up and smell the " coffee of liberation " we will all expose ourselves to more and more cases od STDs and AIDS CASES . our ppl are protesting on the streets that it's kool to beat on gay ppl but how would they feel if in their own privacy , a group of guys ambush them in the act of sex and beat them up .... that's bad and we need to grow up as a caribbean ppl . it's ashame to know that we are so ... ignorant and ill-minded . we criticise the lifestle but once to fly to europe , canada and the usa , we engage in that same lifestyle and many of us want to now fuck our women in their asses... it's that gay too ? we need to grow up and let people LIVE their own lives ! thanks

Buju Banton
Leviticus 20:13 Reads, "If a man lie with man, as he lieth with woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall shurely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Though I don't support violence or murder..I can't dispute what is written in the Book of Life (The Holy Bible). As like spanking children to reprimand them for doing wrong, in hopes that they will abstain from that particular wrong; I hope these homosexuals will look beyond the beaten and closely inspect their unhealthy, unrighteous, unappealing, unmoral and ungodly way of life.

Buju Banton's alleged assault
I believe because of their outspoken negativity towards homosexual these artistes have been targetted as trouble- makers. I believe they are entitled to voice their opinions of which to me that is all they have been doing. So in saying this i hope he is given a fair chance to prove his innocence and not be condemned based on his lyrics. Practicing freedom of speech which i hope we still have does not make one guilty of criminal activity.
