    Yeah, I remember hearing a reggae song once about lining up homosexuals and shooting them or something. I think. It was horrible!

    But it's true, homophobia does occur in a lot of different genres. I think artist need to end this.

    problem is it goes into expression free speech territory and you will have people saying theres songs promoting ' gays ' >.>

    *sighs* sadly i dunno what you can d about it really it would have to be top of the industry thing, but you cant stop independent musicians or people just going out and singing things.
