Okay, maybe I'm reading way too much into this, but...look at Buju Banton's hands in the photograph. He's making a sign over his crotch that some people use to indicate a vagina. And I invite you to try to sit that way yourself...it does not feel like a very natural position to me. I'm guessing Banton is making the sign to mock the folks in the photograph with him.
^^^^ i almost posted the exact same thing, it seems really weird!

remember omar, homophobia or even being a white power creep like some of those norway black metal dudes is no sin compared to being an semi-popular indie rock band that uncool ppl like

Beenie looks away from the camera too much to make me think he feels it in his heart, but he feels it in his head.

The 100% cynical response of the people in the Observer video is probably otm, unfortunately.
The US recently cancelled the visas of a couple of dancehall acts and governments within the Caribbean, including Barbados and St Lucia, have started to refuse big-name stars work permits to play there.
Irrespective of whether it's heartfelt or not, it's still the right message.

"link with the rainbow" seems pretty clear to me, but yeah most artists avoid directly targeting homosexuals these days because of all the visa issues
