Global fans of Buju Banton seeking a fair trial with the intention to support HIS CAUSE. The fact that GLAAD has taken the step to form their own petition and have saught to defame his name by mentioning two of his songs, one of which has no relation to homosexuality ''Battey Rider'', to discredit his music and further tarnish the minds of the majority . Buju Banton's case has nothing to do with homosexuals and their cause, his Grammy nomination for his album '' Rasta have Soul'is  in jeopardy.This album has been released over 15 years after his first known recordings in which Buju has grown and matured as an artist and has changed from Dancehall to Reggae. It is benificial for every human being now and in the future to recognize hard work and respect our individual opinions. With specific reference to Buju's song ''Battey Rider'', that has been quoted and misused by GLAAD and other organizations that are attempting to descredit Buju's person, I leave you the fans with the lyrics to that vibrant and upbeat song, which by the way has clearly nothing to do with gay men.
