Live Nation is promoting a series of U.S. concerts by reggae artist Buju Banton. The singer has a long history of performing homophobic songs before his audiences, including one song that suggests that gay people should be shot in the head, have acid poured on them, and burned like an old tire. Live Nation should not promote an artist who advocates hatred and violence.
