Dear Editor,
The age-old plea by gay rights organisations has long been fulfilled, so why do they continue to target the heterosexual community? I must admit that there was a time when gay people were regarded with much hate and scorn and were beaten in public, but this was usually reserved for the cross-dressers who paraded themselves through towns frustrating 'straight' people.
But the gays seem to have sharpened their tactics, and now the transgender community is rising rapidly. People have the right to do whatever they please, as long as it is within the borders of the law, so go ahead.
Jamaicans have recognized that it is one love to all, regardless of sexual orientation, class or creed, but the gays are not satisfied. I would like to truly know what is their agenda? It would seem like they are still living in the past, full of hatred towards what happened to their fellow gays.
Jamaica has been under so much pressure in recent times regarding the buggery law, which seems to be the ultimate target of the rich and powerful gay organisations. We are holding on by a mere string to keep the law in place.
If the buggery law is changed what will be next?
The heterosexual community, while not admitting it, is now becoming afraid because so much violence has been thrown against us. I condemn any Jamaican who will kill or abuse a person because he/she is gay, as violence is against the law. But I also condemn any gay who will victimise a straight person because they are advocating heterosexuality. Are you saying it is okay to demand gay rights, but it is wrong to promote heterosexuality?
Queen Ifrica, Buju Banton, Beenie Man and others have suffered because of utterances against the gay community. But I am sure that they all have learned to be tolerant and so have others. Gay advocates are so full of hate towards their straight nemesis, who have now become heavily victimised. We all need to coexist and live in peace, harmony and unity.
