Ten Walls issues public apology for previous homophobic comments
Following Ten Walls’ previous derogatory statement against homosexuals on his Facebook page:
“I remember producing music for one Lithuanian musician, who tried to wash my brain that I don’t need to be so conservative and intolerant about them. When I asked him ‘what would you do if you realized that your 16-year-old son’s browny (anus) is ripped by his boyfriend?’ Well he was silent.”
and
“One of my first gigs in Ireland, on my way to [my] hotel I saw a church with a fence decorated with hundreds of baby shoes. Naturally I wondered why? Unfortunately a priest’s lie for many years was uncovered when children were massively raped. Unfortunately the people of other breed continue to do it and everyone knows it but does nothing.”
His actions has led to many cancelled festival bookings, gigs, and even a public outrage demanding him offer an apology to the LGBT community. It is not only inappropriate but also demeaning to the community.
He has been highly criticized for his less-than-appropriate comments and now, he is issuing a public apology.
Though he might be sincere in this public statement, whether he will be able to bounce back from such negativity is different story.
