Brokeback ban stirs controversy in Bahamas

Monday, April 3, 2006

There's controversy on the island of Bahamas with the banning of the movie "Brokeback Mountain," by the Plays and Films Control Board. The Gay community is outraged and calls it an attempt to censor an entire community.

The Control Board barred the award-winning movie, saying "it shows extreme homosexuality, nudity and profanity" and "has no value for the Bahamian public."

Gay rights spokeswoman Erin Greene said the ban was "a farce" as the movie is widely available in the Bahamas on DVD and video.

The ban has also come under fire in newspapers and on radio.

Brokeback Mountain!!!!!!!
Made $100Million dollars, wow! How many people made this "Movie", about 10, they must be very rich?(I did not see this movie, but I was told that what our "Imagination" leads us to believe is not so. For example, no sex scene was was shown, just pure talking and this movie made so much money. I might have been a better "Actor" (LOL). Don't curse me now; I say just an "Actor".

Set The Record Straight
First, not only the gay Bahamian community is crying about the banning. Most Bahamians feel that since Brokeback Mountain is rated "R" it should be shown. A grown adult should be given the right to choose which movie they want to see. What grown man or woman needs to be told what to do. Those who are homophobic don't watch it but don't put restrictions on adults who should be entitled the freedom to watch what they wanna watch. And if watchin brokeback mountain can make you gay, how come we still have gays over here cause all we show is heterosexual movies in our theatres.

Brokeback Mountain 2
The Bahamas banning this movie, doesn't really make a difference. A person can become gay, with or without seeing this movie. As for the children, if a parent has raised their child in the light of God, they will know that homosexuality is a sin and that they should never take part in it. Just because Americans tolerate homosexuality does not mean we accept or have anything to do with it. If you want see the movie, go see it and if you don't. Don't. If you want to be gay, be gay. When God comes on Judgement Day he will decide their fate, not humans but God. America is a great place, you can not say a whole nation is guilty of being gay because of a movie because that is certainly not true. Each and every country in the whole world has crime, murder, and illegal happenings in the government. So don't ever think a country is better than the other, because it is not true. We were all made by God and we should all love each other.

Brokeback Mountain
People have no right to judge or codemn others. God put everyone on this earth to live in peace. God does not hate anyone, so why do we? I believe homosexuality is a sin, but I don't believe we have the right to judge, kill or condemn homosexuals to hell for their lifestyle. If they chose to live that way, that is their choice. Also. its just a movie. If you watch it, your not going to become gay in an instant. When you watched an action movie, did you become an action hero. I bet you didn't. Movies don't glorify, they depict. This movie doesn't say that being gay is great, it simply tells a story.

IS this a rasta forum?!?!
I though this was about brokeback mountain. Ignorance goes a far way. Hompsexuality is SIN just like any other SIN in the bible. And If there is no acceptance and confession of your sins, The ultimate place is Hell. Everybody these days have there own interpretation of the bible (jehorah's Wittness, Christians, Muslims, Jews and of cousre Rasta) When the bible clear states that there is no private interpretation of the word. Will get back to u chapter anf verse.

Azaryas @ Ethiopia!!!!
Maybe when you get a chance you could stimulate readers with some "Black Royalty Stories". For example, Cleopatra & Mark Anthony, King Salomon and Queen Ester , just to name a few. Many people watch these movies without knowing. King Salomon said; I am black and I am peaceful and wise.

Changes were made regards to what King Salomon said but it means the same thing. (Comely was the word changed).

A lot of us who are cursing each other on the internet without knowing that we decedents of Kings and Queens.("Dread Natty dread now". Hon: Robert N. Marley).

To split a geographical hair, The Bahamas is not part of the Caribbean,Rather, it is part of the North American plate and is bordered to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and to the west by the Gulf Stream. No matter - they sill fudge it and say vaguely that the islands are 'in the West Indies,' lumping them in with all the islands between North and South America. Politically, The Bahamas is considered part of the Caribbean

TO ALL BAHAMIANS
DO YALL SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS PURE JEASLOUSY, TNT HATING ON US, THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF STUCK UP PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT ITS ALL ABOUT DEM. JUST READING THESE COMMENTS MAKE ME LAUGH, WHO ARE THEY TO SAY WHO IS IN THE CARIBBEAN FROM WHO AIN'T. AND THEY WANT TO BRAINWASH ALL THE OTHER CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES INTO BELIEVING THE SAME TING. AND CHECK DIS WYBE OUT, IF TNT SO GREAT WHY SO MUCH OF DEM WHO TALKING BAD BOUT US LIVE IN USA, CANADA, ENGLAND TELL ME DAT

FACTS
IF THE BAHAMAS IS NOT APART OF THE CARIBBEAN WHY THEN DO WE
1. HAVE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND ON OUR CURRENCY.
2. GAINED INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND
3. PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES
4. ARE A PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH
5. ARE A MEMBER OF CARICOM

NOW CONCIDERING THOSE POINTS HOW DO U ALL VIEW TURKS AND CACOIS, FOR YOU ALL THAT DON'T KNOW THEY WERE ONCE A PART OF THE BAHAMAS. SECONDLY BELIZE, BERMUDA AND BAHAMAS ARE ALWAYS LEFT OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE LIVING GOOD. SECONDLY, GUYANA IS LOCATED IN SOUTH AMERICA NOT EVEN IN THE CARIBBEAN,( TRINI TO DE BONE NEEDS GEOGRAPHY LESSON.) ALSO THE BAHAMAS BGCSE IS A NATIONLA EXAM WRITTEN IN ENGLAND NOT AMERICA. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE ARE SOME MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT THE BAHAMAS AND ITS PEOPLE. WATCH TEMPO, LOOK AT HOW TNT IS SO INTO AMERICAN CULTURE, LOOK HOW THEY SOCA ARTIST IS ACT LIKE THEY FROM YARD, ALSO PUERTO RICO IS UNDER THE U. S.A. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CARIBBEAN, NEITHER THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS. THEY ARE AMERICAN OWNED.

Eh check dis out I from the Bahamas and i support dat ban. Let me tell yall why...One bcz the Bahamas is a Christian nation before anything else. We aint like foreign where dey is wan pray to God when something go wrong and have in God we trust on dey money n ting. Dat time dey dont allow praying in schools. Dey mix up, hypocrites...live it might as well let you know. And if yall chi chi man know it on Dvd n ting buy da Dvd it dont need to be in the theaters. Yall hear the song Blaze, blaze, blaze, blaze all batty man fire haffi blaze... Cuz look here if that movie was allowed right that would open the gate, and then dere would be another ting, then they own lil club big n bold, then they ga wan have parade. Uh Ughn. Dont even give it a chance to flare up. Us Carib countries gatta stay tru to our culture and religion cant become to Americanized with all dey so called freedoms and rights contridicting itsef. But the day you see all dem fowl and evil tings takin control yah know Jah soon come !!!! Link Up

One other important point is that Rastas on the site come from JA, Trinadad,Afrika,Belize,Guyana,all Islands in the caribbean, many in europe and other parts of the world. Never do you hear all dat hate chat like on this forum. You never hear man disrespect a next man country or chat bout gun an ting and killin off his own people. Maybe I-man should post speaches by Prophet Marcus Garvey so man can love black people again.

But just like church, ya still haffi look out for wolf inna sheep clothes. Go to Rastafari interactive, an select rasta forum.

I agree with the ban, it caused a riot in Jamaica too. We dont play that shit in Jamaica. If that movie is shown it is saying that the government is agreeing with battymanisn(homosexuality).
