Qual você acha que é o pior lugar para homossexuais viverem no mundo? Iraque? Arábia Saudita? Kiribati? Esqueça o jogo de adivinhação, o pior lugar é a Jamaica. Lá, músicos populares de reggae (como Buju Banton) fazem apologia do genocídio dos homossexuais (além da maconha…) e participam efetivamente de atentados.

Bem pior do que Dom Pedrito, com certeza.

"Gay-rights activists attribute the scourge of homophobia in Jamaica largely to the country's increasingly thuggish reggae music scene. Few epitomize the melding of reggae and gangsta cultures more than Banton, who is one of the nation's most popular dance-hall singers. Born Mark Myrie, he grew up the youngest of 15 children in Kingston's Salt Lane — the sort of slum dominated by ultraconservative Christian churches and intensely anti-gay Rastafarians. Banton parlayed homophobia into a ticket out of Salt Lane. One of his first hits, 1992's Boom Bye-Bye, boasts of shooting gays with Uzis and burning their skin with acid `like an old tire wheel.´"
