Urge Live Nation and the House of Blues to Stop Promoting Artist Who Advocates Killing Gay People

Urge Live Nation and the House of Blues to Stop Promoting Artist Who Advocates Killing Gay People

The Issue

Live Nation and the House of Blues are teaming up to host a series of U.S. concerts by reggae artist Buju Banton.  The singer has a long history of performing homophobic songs before his audiences, including one song that suggests that gay people should be shot in the head, have acid poured on them, and burned like an old tire.  Is this the type of music that Live Nation or the House of Blues wants to promote?
