I'd read that already, Annie. It chilled my bones. One feels lucky, but depressed.

To be honest I was surprised that it hadn't been mentioned before on the forum, the pink paper, gay times and a lot of gay news websites constantly bring up the issue of homophobic attacks in Jamaica. Articles like this raise two responses in me; firstly relief that I don't live there and that I am (generally) accepted over here and secondly a burning passion against any form of homophobia or discrimination.

Our shared history and struggle for recognition is something that we should all be concerned about. The significance of stonewall bar in new york and the activities of the Gay Liberation front show how much people suffered for recognition. And even today murders and beatings of GLBT people are happening all over the world.

______________________________________________________________________

I apologise for lecturing and yes I recognise that people have to make their own minds up and decisions and that I have no right in telling them that they must learn about about GLBT history and be involved with issues. What I have expressed is personal opinion and feelings and I know that I myself am at fault for not doing all I can and finding the attitude of letting it slide far too easy to take.

In response to sodomylaws sight- I said it before and will say it again the yanks are hippocrites they continue to bomb countries to protect human rights. Then after crushing a country they let their so called "freely elected goverments" commit worse acts but turn a blind eye in return for oil or other forms of wealth. americans are nice people but as a country they are nothing but common gangsters even the mafia are above them in the humanity stakes.

actually didnt want to get into this as i might offend people. but got to admit america is by far the most hipocritical of nations to invade a country on the basis that there is abuse of human rights then impliment a regiem that locks up women for having children not to mention locking up children for being born is horrific i say if the afgans dont want them we should help out a trade the war criminals living in britain for all the women and mos in arab jails.

sorry to burst any naivety bubbles but do u really think the americans give a sh1t about oppressive regimes, considering the put most of these dictators into power in the first place (e.g, saddam hussein, col. Gaddafi etc..). The would not spend billions of dollars on an epic invasion without huge personal benefits, which at present seems to be oil. Ofcourse they are hipocritical, they are the only world nation to ever launch a nuclear missile, and they are also the only nation to threaten to launch one ( they threatned to nuke china if they didnt back out of south korea, which nicely ended that little war). They destroy the planet for their own personal gain and any nation (such as syria or venezuala for example) which tries to stand up to them in any way is rebuffed with a onslaught of bad press (which is mostly untrue and doctored) from the state controlled U.S. media until such time when they've convinced their population its a good idea to attack and then they wipe out everything, take what they want and leave the country in civil war and chaos, which is pretty much what theyre doing in iraq

Homosexuality is legal in the Vatican?? Isn't that kind of strange..? Then again, the Pope is basically a drag queen anyway, he wears a shiny gold dress and judges people a lot... And lives with 500 men...

what the pope?! *shudders disgustedly*

It has to be legal in the vatican cause with the exception of a few things they have to keep the same laws as italy. If i remember correctly there was a huge hoo-dah there at the time when the gov wanted to legalise the gays cuz the vatican refused

ok lesbians gays and ladyboys im looking at you su ling. i would like to remind you all that genocide is not the answer as ghandi said an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

and the bible it a man should strike your cheek turn your head and allow him to strik the other.

and as the great buddist monk did say only by tollerating and loving your enemy can you defeat them (shortly later china invaded and wiped out the village where he lived killing all the monks at the temple)

so perhaps the whole tolleration thing dosnt work ok you guys win do what you want im off to get a drink bye.
