Buju breaks under pressure? Deejay holds meeting with gays

Buju breaks under pressure?

Deejay holds meeting with gays

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Deejay Buju Banton yesterday met with four members of San Francisco's gay community in what is being seen as a move to discuss the continued cancellations of the gigs at various points on his Rasta Got Soul tour of the United States, due to pressure from gay rights groups.

This was reportedly Buju's first meeting ever with gay advocates, to put an end to the controversy that continues to plague him due to his song, Boom Bye Bye, which
he recorded years ago while still a teen.

Present at the meeting were gay leaders' supervisor Bevan Dufty, who arranged the meeting, Rebecca Rolfe, executive director of the San Francisco gay community centre, Andrea Shorter of Equality California and advocate Michael Petrelis. Also present was supervisor Eric Mar, a straight leader in the Asian community, Buju, members of his PR team and president of his music company, Gagamel Music, Tracii McGregor.

Advocate Michael Petrelis, who was part of the meeting, was quoted on his blog as saying, "the meeting was very civil and productive, even though at times I had to play the "bad cop" activist, especially when Buju was dominating the discussion, and we made several suggestions for him to consider, in order to start to undo some of the problems he has in the gay community because of his past anti-gay lyrics."

Among the items on the list of demands the gay rights lobbyists put forward was that Buju think about making statements in Jamaica calling for love toward gays; donate to the JFLAG group; hold a town hall meeting in Kingston about the need to respect gays and sing about loving gay people . All the suggestions were rejected by Buju, which is said to have infuriated the lobbyists present.

Petrelis also stated that although the meeting was a beneficial first step, the gay community will want more concrete steps taken, before our actions against Buju's concerts will cease.

humph, Buju painting himself into a corner here jes by taking this pic

While I commend him for his efforts, which, even to an extent are self serving because if they didn't ban his shows he definitely wasn't meeting with no gays. But Buju is from Jamaica, where his countrymen and dancehall fraternity members are notoriously homophobic and are known for taking things too far.

I could see things getting way outta hand and Buju having to explain himself as to why he taking pictures with "batty man".

If you take the time to read the article it clearly explains why Buju decided to meet with them gay advocates.
See below quote from article...

If he purposely does not sing it any more he could just tell de bullers dat and let dem relax!

I heard him sing it live in Albuquerque, new mexico less than 2 years ago.  look like show at same venue this coming weekend not cancelled.  maybe jus san fran and other parts of california have gay groups with enough political pressure to cancel shows.

He doh sing it again in concert.

But what he DOES do is de deejay does start de riddim....Buju will sing..."ME SEH BOOM BYE BYE".....AND STOP.  De crowd does complete de ress fuh him.

De crowd does go WILD and he does jes wheel and go into a nex song.  Basically.... a lil teasah without actually singin it.

According to the caption the Trini is Buju's PR rep.

According to a learned Jamaican friend of mines the term chi-chi man refers to a child molester who is not necessarily a gay person but rather someone who seeks sex with children or those who have not yet reached the age of consent.
So in that context I would agree with the sentiments of Elephant Man's hit song when he says “Logon & step pon chi-chi man” as I will not condone child molestation in any shape or form.
