[Music News] Gay Community Want Beenie Man Banned

Mega reports "Following a storm of protest against the artist, the producers of the popular music festival decided yesterday that the notorious anti-gay Jamaican Reggae artist will now not appear. "These concert cancellations will hit Beenie Man hard in the pocket," reacts UK-based gay campaigner Peter Tatchell today. "He has lost tens of thousands of dollars. "The success of this campaign sends a warning message to all murder music artists: inciting homophobic violence will cost you money. You will lose out big time." According the gay equality group Outrage!, Big Day Out organiser Susan Forrester contacted Peter Tatchell seeking his advice on whether to go ahead with Beenie Man's booking."
