 TCOOO Productions is holding the first ever Straight Pride Parade in
Brooklyn, New York on August 31, 2008. The parade will take place on
Eastern Parkway along the same route as the annual Caribbean labor day
parade.
The Straight Pride Parade is a chance for Heterosexuals to gather
together and proudly embrace their sexuality. The Parade will also
allow reggae and dancehall fans who are in New York City for the Labor
Day celebrations to get together and celebrate reggae, dancehall and
family in love and unity. Adults are encouraged to bring their children
along for the celebrations, as the event will be family oriented.
New reggae / dancehall sensation Jango Fresh said, 'the Straight pride
parade is a great idea because when a song like 'Hit them hard' by my
label mate Stapler can be banned just because it stresses the
importance of a male and a female in every family, it is a sign that
heterosexuals need to wake up.
The president of TCOOO said he hopes the event will unify the reggae
community who has seen many reggae events cancelled recently not only
in the United States but all over Europe and the Caribbean. 'I sat
quietly and watched as they cancelled artists like Buju Banton, Sizzla
Kalonji and Capleton' he said, 'but when the gay community went after
TCOOO artists like Vineyard the Rebel Priest, Stapler and Jango Fresh
we decided that we must make a show of strength.'
Reggae artist Stapler whose song 'Hit them Hard' was climbing the
reggae charts was suddenly banned for what the artist said was nothing
but pro family lyrics. 'It is like we are not allowed to talk about the
importance of a family anymore' Stapler told DJ Ron Muschette on Irie
FM in Jamaica.
TCOOO Productions is receiving a lot of support for staging the
Straight Pride Parade as thousands of supporters of heterosexuality are
already anticipating the parade in August. Artistes from the TCOOO
release '18 Karate Reggae: Global Warming' will be performing at the
parade. These artists include Stapler, Jango Fresh, Vineyard the Rebel
Priest, Massicker and Zeego Zaro amongst others.
