While We Fight For Gay Marriage In America, Gays Fight For The Right To Be Gay In Jamaica!
Even California said yes on Proposition 8 which suprised many pundits. Folks still believe that marriage should remain between a man & woman. There have been a lot of protests & anger behind this decision. Even Rachel Maddow gave a little commentary on the subject. She felt that gays still are not being respected. Ms. Maddow made the point that medical marijuana is now available in more states but gay marriage is not.It probably won't be of much consolation to those who wanted the law to pass, but it could have been worse.
In Jamaica, there are no gay couples kissing & strolling hand-in-hand down the streets for all to see. Any homosexual activity is done in total secrecy. The freedom to express your true sexualtiy is nonexistent. For if you do broadcast your sexual inclination, you may be killed. If you're lucky, an angry mob may just beat you to death. Many gay Jamaicans that love their country eventually move to the U.S or the U.K. because they're tired of being in the closet. It may take awhile to ease the general public into adapting a broader view of what marriage means & gay marriage wil eventually be just another fact of life. Hopefully, Jamaica will accept gays as just another part of their population instead of treating them like lepers. Look at the Prime Minister Of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, in this video. He discusses the Jamaican viewpoint on homosexuality.
