Actually, Dog, I think I understand what you are talking about... Of course alot of Reggae (I'm not necessarily condemning the whole genre since I do admire Marley and Lee Perry) has been much more violently anti-gay. I have heard at least Buju Banton had changed his stripes on that issue. Of course my ex-lover thinks the homophobia came from Jamaica's colonial rule...
In my teenage years I was homophobic myself because I was unsure about my sexuality. And since I was catholic and had been in a baptist school for two years I belived my sexuality was morally wrong. It was only until my faith shattered when I decided fuck it, if I don't believe in christ anymore why should I believe in sin?
