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.
You could've had it all!

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.

Imprisonment is the least of it. My girlfriend’s uncle was a gay man in Jamaica that tried to help other gays. Tried to open a gay nightclub. Was macheted to death in his own place and police just called it a random break in. Nothing was taken. But case closed. No investigation.

Rasta is a whacko pseudo-Christian religion that controls women by enforcing archaic purity standards on them.

“you’re under arrest”
“what’s the charge?”
“butt stuff”
“:(”

When interrogating, do the cops ask there “Why are you gay?”

For those not getting the reference, this exact question was asked in the infamous Ugandan interview.

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: 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).

Rastafari is also not very cool when it comes to women. It’s basically old testament Christianity.
