The ban against Jamaican singers Bounty Killer and Mavado constitutes an important move in recognizing the link between violent lewdness and sexual violence against women as well as hatred of gays and lesbians, the National AIDS Committee (NAC) said yesterday.
In a statement which said the committee welcomed the announcement by Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee, NAC stated that it constitutes the first step in a policy to tackle homophobia in the society in general, adding that the move brings Guyana in line with a growing number of countries regionally and internationally that are unwilling to tolerate the promotion of violent and homophobic lyrics in their concert halls and theatres.
