More on Our Hatred of Homosexuals
Today's Observer has a report of an angry crowd that attempted to get its hands on 3 allegedly homosexual men.Sadly, Jamaica remains a dangerous place for a gay Jamaican to return to, as I noted in prior blogs. (If you click here, note carefully that the page below the first post is different.)
Incidentally, our behaviour falls in line with that of NBA All-Start player Tim Hardaway, who mentioned in a sports programme this week that "I hate gay people." It got him thrown out of the All-Star game before it started, and rightly so.

I found this old article from the gleaner extremely insightful to explain a lot of the issues with homophobia in JA.
Why is it shameful? I wish trinis weren't so passive and would do the same thing. Do you really think the Caribbean can handle the increasing homosexual community hugely responsible for the increasing HIV rate? To say that one has nothing to do with the other is to suggest there's no difference between playing mas in Minshall and Harts. Yesterday they were out in their numbers wining on each other. Today carnival is over and they go back home to their wives. Tell me all those HIV positive babies being born in November do they have rights too?
Hilltop observer and others who share your view please visit me at the Cyril Ross Home for HIV positive children in T&T. There we can research together this "myth" that is their reality.
