Would EMI/Virgin Records sign a neo-Nazi singer who had advocated gassing Jews or lynching black people?
Of course not. Why, then, are you signing and promoting a singer who incites and glorifies the murder of homosexuals? Your contract with Beenie Man, which predated his recent so-called “apology”, colludes with his violent homophobia. It is unworthy of a responsible company. Just as we are sure you would not reward a singer who glorified the killing of black or Jewish people, we ask you show the same ‘zero tolerance’ of singers like Beenie Man who incite homophobic violence and murder. Take the example of a singer with neo-Nazi sympathies, who had previously released a song calling for the extermination of Jews. Would you give them a contract if they promised not to sing their anti-Semitic diatribes? We think not. You would wisely and responsibly take the view that having expressed such bigoted, murderous views the singer was beyond the pale and should not be signed to EMI/Virgin – even if they promised to never repeat such sentiments. With regard to Beenie Man’s supposed apology: We no
