JUST PASSING THIS ALONG...TAKE HEED PEOPLE....

A coalition of black gay and lesbian bloggers has launched a worldwide online campaign against a music industry group’s decision to ignore requests to cancel performances by homophobic reggae artists Beenie Man and TOK at an upcoming concert.
The concert, scheduled to take place July 18 in New York, is billed as a benefit to target young people for HIV/AIDS prevention. The coalition of activists is calling on LIFEbeat, the music industry’s non-profit AIDS organization, to either rescind the invitation to Beenie Man and TOK or use its influence to get the two artists to make public statements prior to the concert disavowing their homophobic music and remarks. Just last week, Beenie Man's concerts were canceled in Britain after gay activists objected to his recent homophobic statements.
