(Canada) - Gay and Lesbian rights activists are calling for the deportation of two controversial reggae artists scheduled to perform in Toronto in the coming days. Jamaican singer Elephant Man, whose real name is O'Neil Bryan, arrived in Canada last week for a series of dates across the country and is scheduled to perform at Toronto club Kool Haus on Friday. Fellow Jamaican performer Sizzla, whose real name is Miguel Collins, is scheduled to perform at the same club on Oct. 5. Both have been criticized by Gay rights groups in several countries for preaching violence against Gay people in their music. A coalition entitled the Stop the Murder Music campaign has called on Immigration Minister Diane Finley to deport the two performers.
