Talk:Sizzla

message: "...he has been involved in controversy over what many perceive to be anti-gay lyrics..." - 'What many perceive'? Even Sizzla himself knows he's 'anti-gay' and I don't think anyone can claim otherwise. 81.154.169.154 July 22, 2005 21:47 (UTC)
what people need to understand in jamaica is that our culture is different and we are not expose to certain sexually behaviour.
:Thats a EXTREMELY valid point - Although POVs are unable to make it into the article, it should be understood that Rastafaris (and Christians amongst others) oppose homosexuality. 
:I propose the sentence "Many of Sizzla's songs contain anti-gay lyrics." should be reworded to something like "Many of Sizzla's songs contain anti-gay lyrics, as followers of the Rastafarian Movement oppose homosexuality."

thread_title: Anti-gay lyrics

message: Well,
Sizzla is to popular and it would be too stupid to delete it.
But examples of his lyrics would stand nice.

message: You personal belief may be that Sizzla is anit-gay but there has been no proof presented of this not even in the links
*Agreed.  Please refer to Point of View.  Adequate credible references must be made, and use this page for discussion before reverts to avoid a revert war. TKE 05:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Nevertheless, Sizzla is primarily known for his homophobia.  The article is not about Jamaican attitudes toward homosexuals, it is about Sizzla.  If you would like to add encyclopedic comment about Sizzla's other contributions to society, please feel free to do so.  --Yamla 03:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I edited the head of the "Homophobic lyrics" section. Previously it was "Lyrics by Sizzla have not been welcome by gays". It was a cumbersome and ridicule euphemism. It´s like renaming the Holocaust "Population reduction program that wasn´t welcome by jews". Totally ridicule. Please don´t vandalize and keep true facts there.
Hey, dont make false vandalism comments. All you did was edit an article which had no vandalism in it and inserted POV. False accusation clainms are the sign of the POV warrior, SqueakBox 14:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Gay controversy

message: The use of the term "special interest groups" to describe those protesting homophobic lyrics creates a negative bias by implying that such protests are not really in the public interest, but rather selfishly-motivated and thus potentially illegitimate.  I think it would be better to use the term "advocacy groups."Lpslogan29 18:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Special Interests? 

message: This photograph is terrible!!!  The article would look better if there was NO PHOTOGRAPH rather than this abomination!!!  Can someone please rmove it???  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.43.48.130 (talk) 17:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Horrible photograph quality!!!

message: It is absurdly stupid to have 1/3 of his page devoted to his homophobia. There is a larger message behind Sizzla's music, mainly about his life in Jah's eyes, black culture, etc. To pin him as a "homophobe" is misleading - yes, homophobia is an unfortunate side effect of his Jamaican/religious upbringing, but it in NO WAY defines Sizzla as a person and should not be a focal point of this article. Although I hate to even see it, I agree there should be a "Controversy" section on his page. smooth0707 (talk) 20:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
