lol some of the “cool” stuff are explicitly against homosexuality. Like Rastafari and Reggae (not all) Lots of homophobic lyrics in reggae music. And often just calling for straight up murder of gays like the song Boom Bye Bye by Bunju Banton which is a very popular song in Jamaica.
If it wasn’t for the weed-smoking, nobody would think that Rastafarianism is cool.
Even without weed, they still had Bob Marley and reggea in general.
Rastafari isn’t actually that cool, especially not when it comes to gay people. They are also strongly opposed to oral and anal in heterosexual couples and are generally quite patriarchal. Have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari
Also, afrocentrism is one of its core ideas, which makes it pretty weird when white people convert to it (e.g. Gentleman, a German reggea singer).
Also, weed is still illegal in Jamaica. I assume it gets tolerated somewhat, at least with the Rastafaris, but it’s technically illegal.
Also also, Jamaican rum is really good! It’s a very special style, no one makes it quite like they do.
Rastafari is also not very cool when it comes to women. It’s basically old testament Christianity. Great dietary practices tho.
A religion religioning
Lol exactly. I was gonna say something similar.
And the coffee is superb
Nothing quite like a funky Jamaican pot still style rum. So good.
but not lesbian iirc
Lock me up with a bunch of dudes that never have hopes of being with a woman? L e l
Only stay for the gay
When interrogating, do the cops ask there “Why are you gay?”
