Bashment Page #7

Synopsis: After a brutal gay bash attack at a reggae dance hall competition, a group of thuggish performers defend their actions as being provoked by the victim. They serve a shockingly light sentence, and as their release date nears, their original public defender rallies with the victims to examine the homophobic song lyrics and ask the question 'Did the music make you do it?'.

DISMISSING YOU,

DEMONIZING YOU.

BUT YOU'D TAKEN OVER

A ROOM IN MY BRAIN,

SO, YOU'RE NOT GONNA ASK ME

TO BAKE YOU A CAKE

WITH A FILE IN IT?

SHOW YOU MY TITS

WHILE YOU WANK FURTIVELY?

WELL, I'M DISAPPOINTED.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD

TO BEING OUTRAGED.

SO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

WE DON'T TALK ABOU THEM THINGS IN HERE.

I AIN'T IN THERE.

NO, YOU'RE OUT THERE,

JUDGING ME.

WELL, THANKS

DID YOU HATE HIM?

I DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

ACTUALLY, YEAH,

I MEAN WHAT, LIKE,

MAN AND MAN TOGETHER,

I MEAN,

JUST, IT AIN'T RIGHT,

THAT'S IN THE BIBLE.

YOU KNOW THE BIBLE WELL,

THEN, DO YOU?

I KNOW THAT PART.

YOU A CHRISTIAN, THEN?

THAT'S HOW I WAS RAISED.

FINALLY,

SOMETHING IN COMMON.

I'M A BI OF A JESUS FAN, ME.

"IF THINE EYE OFFEND THEE,

PLUCK IT OUT."

"JUDGE NOT,

LEST YE BE JUDGED."

NOT A WORD ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY,

FUNNILY ENOUGH AS I RECALL,

EXCEPT MAYBE "BLESSED ARE THEY

THAT ARE PERSECUTED FOR

RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE."

GAYS AIN'T PERSECUTED,

THEY'RE PROMOTED.

THE TV'S SCREAMING LIKE

"BE GAY, BE FUNNY!"

GIVIN' STRAIGHT MEN

MAKE-OVERS

LIKE WE CAN'T DRESS

OURSELVES!

SO WHAT IF:

EVERYONE WAS GAY?

THE HUMAN RACE:

WOULD DIE OUT, INNIT?

I MEAN, IT'S OUR PURPOSE

TO BREED.

OUR IMPERATIVE.

HOW MANY KIDS YOU GOT?

FOUR.

DON'T THINK

THERE'S MUCH CHANCE

OF THE HUMAN RACE DYING OU WITH YOU AROUND, MATE.

YOU AIN'T GONNA CONVINCE ME

THAT IT'S COOL AND DANDY

FOR ONE MAN TO KISS

UPON THE NEXT MAN

LIKE IT'S NATURAL, OKAY,

THE FOOD WE EAT?

SHAVING?

TAMPONS?

LASER SURGERY?

IT ALL HAS TO COME FROM NATURE

IN THE BEGINNING, THOUGH,

DON'T IT?

LIKE WHAT,

IT ALL HAS TO COME

FROM SOMEWHERE:

BEFORE IT'S REFINED,

SO IT'S ALL

WELL LOOK, THIS CHI-CHI MAN,

HE WEREN'T NATURAL.

AND YOU DON'T LIKE GIRLS?

NOW YOU'RE

JUST TALKING STUPID.

ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW

THAT'S HOW

THE SYSTEM WORKS.

I MEAN, YOU WANT YOUR MAN

I WANT EVERYONE:

TO BE THEMSELVES.

WELL, I'M A MAN

FOR BLACK MAN'S FAILURE

IN THE SYSTEM?

SHE SHOULD BE AWARE

OF HOW THE SHITSTEM

IS FAILING HER MAN.

SHE SHOULD GET IT.

SHE SHOULD SUPPOR HER SOLDIER.

SOLDIER?
