Infamous reggae artist, Buju Banton, scheduled show for in Richmond, VA was cancelled due to protest by the gay community. Since as long as I can remember, reggae artist have been notorious in creating songs with violent lyrics against the gay community. Within the West Indian culture to be considered gay has always been taboo, but its just within recent years have reggae artist been receiving protests about it. So how do you change the perception of any entire culture that's been brought but to believe in this. The gay taboo runs deep within Black culture and will be very difficult to change, but if Buju Banton's shows are getting canceled something must be working in their favor.
