LEAVE US ALONE

THE recent debate over the legalization of homosexuality in Jamaica has reached a level we have never seen before.The intensity that has now characterized the discourse in the country on both sides is intresting to say the least. On the acceptance right,they have taken it to the courts to challenge the constitutionality of the Nation's buggery laws that criminalizes Homosexuality. The court action is significant for a couple of reasons:it has galvanized the forces against it in such away that hasn't been seen in this country before on anything,of importance. The Church has taken it on headlong,organizing demonstration and speaking out in almost perfect harmony,denouncing any move to legalized homosexuality. On the other hand,however,their is those that support the move towards freedom and equality-as they put it-and the current court action has brought them closer together in there quest to gain acceptability.

 BACK GROUND TO THE COURT ACTION.

To give a background to the current court action that is now before the courts brought by a gay rights activist is both timely and instructive. The gentleman is alleging that he ask the two free to air television stations in the Island(TVJ AND CVM) to air a documentary promoting tolerance towards homosexuals and they refused. He is also contending that the Nations public broadcaster,(PCB)when asked did not show the documentary either and they are now party to this matter. The gay rights activist is contending that his right to freedom of speech has been breached when all three refused to air the documentary. Not surprisingly,all three entities are saying they did no such thing. There is also another suit in the courts that has been brought by a homosexuals,who is alleging that he was removed from a house he rented based upon his sexual orientation. He is challenging the constitutionality of the buggery law. Not surprisingly overseas gay rights groups have joined his constitutional challenge.

With all of these different court actions and interested parties joining each camp,it has reignited an issue that has not died a natural death even though the government of Jamaica has not made any real attempt to repeal the buggery law due to public opposition,and the fear that any Government that repeal that law will never be elected to office again. The Prime Minister, however has indicated a willingness to have a look at the buggery law,and  that has infuriated a wide cross section of the Jamaican populace.What many persons do not understand it seems,is that the strong opposition of the populace,is due to what they see as an abhorrent and unnatural act,alien to our beliefs and cultural practices.It cannot be that the majority of Jamaicans,are against the legalization of homosexuality and are been forced by gays,and their supporters to accept what is considered to be a nasty and frankly ungodly act. To use the nations courts to force their lifestyles on us,is tantamount to treason,and should be thrown out of the courts forthwith! Jamaicans do not subscribed to that sort of behavior,and in my estimation should be allowed to live without that sort of nastiness been legal in this country.The homosexual community is demanding that they be allowed to carry out such unnatural acts,on the basis that they have the right to do so,and everybody must accept and live with it.But contained within that,is the wanton refusal,to allow  the majority of the populace that do not want that to happen,the freedom to have our government keep the law that criminalizes such acts. It seem these fellows believe that they alone have rights! 

DEMOCRACY

Democracy is founded upon the principle of majority rules. People are free to elect Government to enact legislation that serves the interest of the majority. That's simply a fact of life.If the majority decides against homosexuality been legalized,in a real democracy,that should be the law,plain and simple.The gays should not be given any leeway whatsoever to force there lifestyle on us. If it is that they feel so aggrieved,there is a simple solution,just leave! We do not want their sort of corrosive lifestyles contaminating a society that is still heavily Christian in character,(if even nominally so) and where we subscribe to the view that a man and a woman must have sexual intercourse,and not two men.Like it or not,we view homosexuality as a sin and an unnatural act,that is a crime against nature and should indeed be criminalize.We do not want our kids to be taught that it is acceptable and normal for two men or women to be having sex,and to be called wife and husband. Thais an abomination,of judgmental proportions. Our lifestyles may look archaic to others that embraces the homosexuality,but to us that's our way of life,and we make no apologies for that!   

UNDERSTAND US OR LEAVE US ALONE.

The homosexuals should understand that their behavior will never be accepted by the majority of Jamaican's,no matter what the court rules. It would be a dark day in Jamaican history if the court ruled that the buggery law must be repealed. That would be the end of our nation's identity and character. Our society is one that is based upon our beliefs,garnered from the bible,and culture. These nation's that now has embraced the homosexuality agenda and has legalized it,was once against it. But once the homosexuals attained high office they push through their agenda and force it upon others who do not subscribe to that sort of living., Because they have so much success in first world countries they believe that they must ensure that the world embraces their warped way of living. So far Jamaica has stood up against that sort of living and hopefully our judges will not betray us and struck down the buggery law. Those that seek to contaminate us with such despicable behavior should understand that we will not embrace their culture and will not subscribe to such nastiness. They may be first world economically,but they are worse than third world morally. Leave us alone with our way of life. .
