Queens Councilman Danny Dromm today demanded the cancellation of a performance by a Jamaican reggae singer, whose music includes anti-LGBT lyrics.

Standing outside Amazura Concert Hall in Queens with members of Jamaica Anti-Homophobia Stand, a livid Mr. Dromm slammed Queen Ifrica, who is set perform tomorrow night, as an “offensive” spewer of “hate speech,” whose appearance should be shut down.

“Today, unfortunately we are outside this club because one of the main oppressors of LGBT people in Jamaica is coming to this club in Queens, and we wanted to make sure that our voice of opposition to this oppressor of LGBT people are heard,” he declared.

“What she says and what she does is offensive, it is hate speech and it needs to end. Her coming to Queens, the borough of nations where we pride ourselves in our diversity is also offensive to us,” he added. “This type of hatred has to end. This is hate speech not free speech and people need to realize the difference between the two.”
