Gay rights activists to protest Jamaican reggae star Queen Ifrica’s upcoming show
Queen Ifrica, known for her biting anti-gay lyrics and homophobic public statements, is slated to headline a concert Saturday at Amazura Concert Hall in Jamaica, Queens. “Mi nuh want si mi brother dress up inna no skirt,” she sings in her 2009 track “Keep it to Yourself,” which calls for Jamaica to be freed of gay men for the sake of the nation’s children.
