This site is becoming CNN-level media propaganda.

While I don’t deny dancehall music and Jamaican pop-culture can be rather homophobic, it’s quite a stretch to accuse the Jah-father himself of the same based on a few select, and seriously subjective, lyrics.

But let us explore. Firstly, I don’t believe the Rastafari faith-culture is compatible with the current push from the Western mainstream mind-programmers’ attempts to create a gender-less, role-less, pseudo-New Age false culture. It is propped up by extreme media bias and a fundamentally unnatural thought paradigm. Children are being sold into it, however the tide is turning and many are beginning to reject it outright. Generation Z children now identify as more ‘conventional’ than the previous two major generations (X and Millennial).

So much of what we see coming from the establishment is the promotion of homosexuality, vanity, deviance, selfishness, greed, etc. Babylon is Babylon is Babylon. Now and until the return of the Prince in Revelation times.

Homosexuality can be a natural occurrence, I will agree, but it is rarer than the current phenomena indicates, and you can see many confused youths who had no upbringing in Truth and righteousness, growing up raised on TV and Internet, and now being pushed to ‘identify’ as ‘gay’ or ‘trans’, etc., for a myriad of unnatural reasons (Babylon – Satan).

When Bob said, “Can’t tell the woman from the man. They’re all dressed in the same pollution. Their mind is confused with confusion”. This, I believe, is what he’s referencing. To a degree. And I don’t find it ‘homophobic’ in the least. He is not saying he hates gays, or that gays are evil, or even unnatural, but he is saying Babylon is poisoning the youth. Which it is. Now and until the return. So be it.

“Man to man is so unjust” is not about homosexuality. It’s a play on Cervantes – when Alonso Qiana transformed into Don Qixote, it began with the former reading books and brooding over “man’s murderous ways towards man.” If you take the lyrics in context it becomes obvious, and he referenced it. The verse is actually about turncoats.

There is evidence that Marley was

I couldn’t agree more. It seems that developing countries, or Muslim countries, or any country that is mainly persons of colour get a free pass when it comes to homophobic atrocities. We are told that their murderous bigotry against gays and lesbians is somehow paert of their culture that we must respect.

I’ve been to Jamaica and I would not go back. There are much safer, and friendlier islands in the Caribbean, where they don’t hypocritically spout lines such as “One love for all” and then go treat their LGBT citizens like deviant freaks.
Just watch the episode of Gaycation that takes place in Jamaica (I think it’s the fourth episode of the first season). Absolutely shameful and appalling how these LGBT youth are treated. Disgusting. My heart breaks for those kids. Please, Jamaicans, become informed about homosexuality, but not from religious bigots, and evolve as a society to be inclusive of all your citizens.

As one (old) gay Canadian to another gay Canadian I completely agree with you that I’d never travel to Jamaica or any of the other anti-gay countries in the world, including the USA.

However, when I was was a gay young man (40 yrs ago), Bob Marley’s music was not homophobic; it was about freeing people…individuals.

I think you can easily find an anti-gay subtext in many songs by many songwriters.

Many years ago in college, one of my feminist studies class assignments was to expose & analyze misogyny in song lyrics. It was the easiest & most bullshit assignment I’ve ever done. It taught me that I can twist the real meaning of words to fit whatever I need them to fit.

That’s what the writer of this article has done.

I am a gay Canadian tourist and I am disgusted by the level of murderous homophobia in Jamaica and in reggae music. I have never set foot in Jamaica and I never would go to that hell-hole of anti-gay bigotry. I am happy to spend my dollars in other countries where gays are treated like human beings. Some reggae singers have been banned from Canada because of the level of hatred in their songs. I know many people gay and straight who refuse to vacation in Jamaica.

“Man to man is so unjust” is about war, violence, lack of justice, etc. Sure Bob was a Rasta and Rasta follow the bible but he didn’t advocate hate towards gays and lesbians let alone violence towards gay and lesbian HUMAN BEINGS. Stop spreading your hate – that goes for the comments from STINGA too. If you have so much hatred towards gay men then you must look at where that hatred is coming from and why it stokes such a fire within you, seen?

Have you heard Bob Marley singing “Another one bites the dust” from F.Mercury?? I dont think that one anti-homosexual sang a song from one homosexual.
