Re: Action Alert: Sizzla at the Catalyst, Advocates Killing Queer People

i am going to have to agree with "you dont represent us at all" on this one. calling for the catalyst to break a contract with an artist will just show bullying and set a precedent for censorship that we do not want to set. But i believe calling the catalyst and telling them that there is a picket planned and that the venue will be boycotted in some way is a good way of expressing views.

unfortunately the catalyst probably has had no clue about Sizzlas stance on the issue when they booked him, they just want a popular dance hall artist to perform, now its too late. but chances are they will loose money on the night if enough work is done. and it wont be because they cancelled...

one more thing though. what sizzla does does not amount to free speech. there is nothing about intimidation and inciting violence that is about anything free. sure he is expressing his views. but what he is doing is using a public platform that should be democratic to intimidate, discriminate and spread his message of homophobia. there aint nothing free about it.
