However, sexual orientation should not be grounds for issuing refugee status since people can fake it to "get over".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799086301071172468.post-25623882623076558722012-05-31T03:43:41.840+01:002012-05-31T03:43:41.840+01:00Jamaicans are not more homophobic than any other n...Jamaicans are not more homophobic than any other national group, especially the USA. Like everywhere else, some Jamaicans make fun of gays, but they are very protective of children and have been known to beat or kill pedophiles, not gays. The interest of GLBT people and Jamaicans alike would be better served if we make a clear distinction between gays and pedophiles and spend more time sensitizing people to the emotional and cultural needs of individuals in both groups. Making such a blanket statement about an entire nation of people who are models of love and caring for the world is very harmful and should be viewed as hasty generalizations by pundits with hidden supremacist/imperialist agendas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
