    The unfortunate situation with Dancehall artists and their fixation on ‘gay bashing’ continues.  If homosexuality is not for you, fine, that's your prerogative.  However, when the opinions of a few effect the lives of many, it's time to say, enough!  The call to violence and murder is disturbing on all levels...social, moral, and now, economic.  The unity and determination of the gay and lesbian community has resulted in action that has not only called for a stop to the proliferation of lyrics that incite a negative, sometimes violent, reaction, but have succeeded in having performers known for such lyrics banned from shows and festivals - even countries - around the world.  In addition, they were successful at having several songs with these lyrics removed from iTunes – effecting artists where it hurts most – in their bank accounts.  My call is for the compassion act heralded by the Stop Murder Music Campaign to call it what it really is – The DANCEHALL Compassion Act – and leave the roots and culture music out of the title.  You will not find a true Reggae singer or songwriter who will write words to incite murder or mutilation!  I do not want the word Reggae – which is in this site’s name, which is the business I have struggled to get accepted as a positive music culture for more than 27 years – to be associated with the sad few who seek attention and whose success is built on violence and hate.   Have something to contribute?  Let me hear from you.
