If it wasn’t for the weed-smoking, nobody would think that Rastafarianism is cool.

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.

Rastafarianism killed Bob Marley. He had an infection in his toe that got bad enough that it needed to be amputated. He refused because it was against his religion and the infection wound up killing him.

This was decades ago. There was a Reggae Revival in the 2010ths, lots of great artists which stopped promoting homophobia and violence. The US were super homophobic a couple of decades ago. So let’s not judge this island too hard, change needs time.
