you dont get the whole prejudice issue at all do you...?

people generally aren't prejudiced against heterosexuality, and neither, as far as i can think of anyway, have people been: targeted by extremist politics; condemned to hell by religions; humiliated in public; disowned by their families; fired from their jobs or been rejected in their job applications; beaten and murdered, for being heterosexual...

So are you saying you would have no problem if he said it about heterosexuals?

i dont care about this at all

its his opinion, if thats how he feels its up to him

maybe he was referring to homosexuals with typified bad taste in music in 2011?

i have gay friends some in croydon (played at a house party for my mate darren once and dropped boom bye bye and he creased up) and in brighton and most of them also hate 'gay people' maybe you can only say this if you are yourself gay

but seriously why care so much about this, hes not saying to discriminate against anyone or attack anyone which is a staple of jamaican music lets be honest with its jah weed smoking typical middle class audience these days

ive known kromestar a long time...havent seen him for a while tbf but face to face hes always been a cool guy...yes theres all the other stuff music wise but as a person ive never seen him as a hateful person

im saying it would be less of an issue because heterosexuals haven't faced a list of social prejudices because of their sexuality

not hard to get your head around really mate

if his list of things he hated had been racial then his comment would have been racist and he wouldn't be getting booked again.

I don't see how anybody could NOT be offended by this. I agree with what has been said before. If he stated 'I hate black people' he would have no support, and few people, if anyone, would be jumping to defend him. I don't see why it should be any different with what he actually said. I feel like some of you may be homophobic yourself, if you are so quick to defend him. I love Kromestar's music, but I will not being playing out any of his beats anymore.

so much hate for one of the most versatile and amazing producers in the scene, just because he allegedly said "i don't like gay people" when he was wasted?! lol you lot have got to be trolling :? you don't know what was going through his mind when he said that... even if he did say it in the way that is being projected on here, as it's already been said - it would have been his opinion... besides, he didn't say 'hate'. stop hyping. get some perspective.

if you lock it i guarantee it'll cause even more shit than if you just leave it to pan out

cant try and censor peoples opinions on what a figurehead of the scene, someone who is idolised by a lot of people, has said at a gig

if its cos he was wasted which is blatantly obvious than an apology shouldn't be too hard

i mean, im not offended, cos im not gay, but im sure there'd be plenty of dubstep fans who would be offended and with good cause, cant have dj's rolling round thinkin they're some sort of badboy yardie dancehall king protesting his dislike of gay people at gigs

not cool

set was fire, when he smashing brostep i was laughing hard. the gay comment didn't offend me but imagine if you were in the crowd and were a fellow of that inclination, i guess you might be pretty offended.
allow him though, he was obviously smashed.

Can't justify a homophobic remark by saying he makes good music.
