gay rights groups have reportedly succeeded in canceling yet another Buju Banton concert - an October 3 date that was to have happened at the Lifestyles Community Pavillion in Columbus, Ohio. The gay rights groups in that city apparently pressured the venues marketing director, and her employer - PromoWest Productions, stating among other things that the targeted audience for Buju Bantons message and the proximity to the Ohio State University (OSU) campus neighborhood would create a tangible threat to the safety and well-being of individuals.

According to Columbus Caribbean (a portal for Caribbean people in Columbus, Ohio) however, the Lifestyles Community Pavillion has indeed pulled the plug on the show, but the shows promoter is reportedly looking to have it staged at another venue, a back up option.
