    Gay Pressure Cancels Capleton Show in Chicago

    Capleton Show In Chicago Cancelled From Gay Rights Pressure… Tour In Jeopardy

    Feature | 8 hours ago

    Capleton Show In Chicago Cancelled From Gay Rights Pressure... Tour In JeopardyReggae artist Capleton is one of many reggae artist currently experiencing fallout from Gay Rights pressures.

    Urban Islandz was reliably informed that The Gay Liberation Network (GLN) has forced the cancellation of Capleton upcoming concert in Chicago. The Fireman Capleton was scheduled to perform at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago this Saturday.

    Last week Urban Islandz broke news that Gay Rights group GLN has stepped up pressure on the owner of the venue to cancel Capleton show, claiming violence and hate in the Reggae artist lyrics towards homosexuals. But the club owner Jim Gouskos told the media that he was not aware of Capleton hate lyrics and that he cannot afford the US$11,000 to cancel the concert. However, the GLN in a letter told Gouskos that they will be out protesting this weekend if the show was not cancelled.

    In the letter to Roger Fraser the GLN representative told Gouskos about their intentions if there demands are not met.

    “No respectable promoter would knowingly schedule a performer whose lyrics promoted violence and murder against blacks or Jews or Muslims. We ask for and expect the same consideration to be made concerning LGBT people. Very few promoters want to be associated with murderous bigotry and calls from the stage to commit mayhem.”

    Capleton is currently embarked on a tour in the US to promote his latest album I-Ternal fire, which was released in the summer by VP Records. The tour maybe in jeopardy as Gay Rights groups are hinting to step up their pressure. Below is a banner they already have out.

    Reggae artist Sizzla Kalonji also experience fallout over the summer after one of his concerts in Germany was cancelled due to pressures from Gay Rights organizations.

          Capleton will collect some of his fees and move on. However at some point these artists have to learn to operate like Bob Marley and do not sing anything about that subject! Bob was a real rastman not just a dreadlocks but he knew what not to sing about.
          The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

            lol have you heard spragga new album ? what i see is just the agenda slowing the spread of jamaican music in outer markets.Doesnt stop capleton or any DJ from making money in the niche markets.

            The day will come when the outer markets gravitate to the music and start producing their own versions of capleton.

There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

              When you have 15 mouths to feed , those so-called niche markets may not be enough.

                Yeah the reggae community is so scared of the agenda , after how many years their hate campaign against DJs is bearing fruit , they have Buju locked up and DJs shows are being cancelled left right and center why dont these DJs just bow , give in , capitulate , bend over , after all they can make so much more money and considering the fact that the average DJ have at least 15 mouths to feed ..lol

                Have you heard spraggas new CD? you guys need to get a grip , the agenda will get some cancelled but the majority will go ahead.

                  It don't really matter to me who decides to continue thier fight against the gay rights group or not. It seems to me that some have decided to avoid the issue and other have not.

                  I say stand up for whatever you believe in. Just don't be caught looking stupid by preaching against these so-called evils and at the same time doing worse wrongs yourself.
