February 16, 200718 yr Speaking of Jamaica, this is disturbing... Cops save three alleged homosexuals from angry crowd The Jamaica Observer THREE men branded as homosexuals were yesterday rescued by the police from an angry mob outside a pharmacy in Tropical Plaza, where they had been holed up for almost an hour. But even after the police managed to take the young men from the Monarch Pharmacy, one of the three was hit with a stone, forcing officers to fire tear gas on the crowd which included men, women, teenagers and small children. The approximately 2,000 people gathered outside the Kingston pharmacy hurled insults at the three men, with some calling for them to be killed. The crowd grew larger as the minutes ticked by and the three men and staff inside the pharmacy were visibly terrified as the mob demanded that they be sent out so they could administer their brand of justice. "Send them out!" shouted one man. The men, who all had bleached-out faces, and dressed in tight jeans pants and skimpy shirts, were saved due to quick action by police from the St Andrew Central Division. When the officers arrived and attempted to push the crowd back from the front door of the businessplace they were greeted with some resistance and when they attempted to escort the men to a police service vehicle, which was parked near to the entrance of the pharmacy, one of the alleged homosexuals was hit on the back of the head with a stone as he flashed a wry smile before attempting to hustle inside the police car. The cops were forced to disperse the large mob by dispensing tear gas canisters and whisking the men away as the crowd scampered in all directions in an effort to escape the irritating fumes. One man in the crowd was determined to get a chance to beat them and hurled insults at the police when they drove out of the premises. "Unu can come save them nasty boy yah? Them boy yah fi go down," the man bellowed. One woman expressed surprise at the brazenness of the men who were clearly displaying effeminate behaviour. "Jamaica has lost its way if men think they can openly flaunt being gay without any consequences. We don't want that kind of open gay life in this country," the woman said. Homosexuality is frowned upon in Jamaica and gay rights groups have constantly branded the island as anti-gay. Under Jamaican law a male can be slapped with a sentence of up to nine years if caught in a compromising position with another man.

February 16, 200718 yr It makes a change that the Jamaican police are assisting homosexuals in Jamaica and not terrorising, torturing and killing them, which has happened frequently there.... disgusting, barbaric and neanderthal place.

Just how is it relevant to actually report what these guys were wearing...? Not sure what the phrase 'bleached out faces' is getting at either tbh, but it sure sounds pretty nasty.... I'm with Russ on this, Jamaica - totally fukked-up place, but the reasons why the people are the way they are is down to the usual two suspects - Religion and Politics....
February 16, 200718 yr Am i the only one that hates religion? :lol: and i wonder what it mean't by bleached faces :S
February 16, 200718 yr Jamaica is the worst for homophobicness... however this new law from Nigeria is really quite terrible. :o Total discrimination... bring back black slavery and see what they think to that. -_-
February 16, 200718 yr Jamaica is the worst for homophobicness... however this new law from Nigeria is really quite terrible. :o Total discrimination... bring back black slavery and see what they think to that. -_- I guess it's got to do more with the large number of AIDS cases, than being homophobic -_- After all, these are countries where the condom is still a "tabu" :unsure: So, maybe a government tries to protect his people by considering illegal certain things. In coutries like ours, they only banned the smoking everywhere <_< xox.
February 16, 200718 yr I guess it's got to do more with the large number of AIDS cases, than being homophobic . I think you'll find the AIDS epidemic doesn't affect the gay population only...in fact, probably almost 100% of the infections in both Jamaica and Nigeria are heterosexual ones... brought on by their ridiculous machismo attitude to women and contraception......
February 16, 200718 yr These type countries are supposed to be nothing more then slaves to the "civilized" world forever. It makes me sick of the ignorance of these people who don´t see by acting like animals they are doing nothing more then contribute for their countries continue as a bunch of sheep to be sacrificed for the rich nations. Don´t blame Rastafari, even in Jamaica less then 2% of the population are practicing this religion... Blame the ignorance and lack of education which makes people ignorant and imparcial, cause I´m sure the 95% of these homophobics have taken part in other types of imoral sex attititudes, even with kids or their own children, and a big part of them must have already killed or stolen someone... the population of this countries with undeveloped education system is bound to be exterminated by AIDS.

You bring up a good point because even though people will ALWAYS bring up religion, I think the vast majority of homophobia in the world is ignorance. How else can you explain people who, as you say, engage in all manner of sinful acts, including sexually, but then justify their homophobia with a stuanch religious stance. It's just a fukking convenient excuse, people who couldn't care LESS about Christianity get away with being homophobic because of a couple ridiculous lines buried deep in the bull$h!t of the book of Leviticus (which, as well all know, endorses slavery, condemns eating shellfish, etc). Certainly there are a few people who deeply believe in religion and truly believe homosexuality is sinful, but 90% are just ignorant people using the Bible as an excuse...
February 16, 200718 yr As Jack said, I look at articles like this and am very glad I live in the UK. It makes me furious that ignorant f***ers around the world are still treating homosexuals in thsi manner :angry:

While that may be true Consie, the facts are that people in these places have been brainwashed into believing certain things by religious leaders, by politicians.. Sure, it's ignorance, but that's the way the various Churches and the State wants us at the end of the day, ignorant, unquestioning willing to accept everything they say as Gospel.... In a very literal sense....
