Irate islander Eric Selby simply can’t stand queer cruises stopping on his beloved Barbados. That’s why the irate Selby wrote this editorial letter calling for more public protest:
It is quite disheartening to hear of no dissenting voices in public to the planned stop-over of a cruise ship carrying gay passengers.
Talk about rights! Don’t our children not have rights too? Not to be exposed to such immoral conduct which proceeds from these individuals?
A passenger in my car noticed two male tourists kissing on Hastings Road recently. Is this the type of behavior we will condone in our island, paradise and all?
…
There are stories of young boys and girls being enticed into the gay lifestyle. It is not uncommon to see hard-back women buying gifts for young girls and petting them in Town.
We’re assuming “hard-back” women is Selby’s polite way of saying “bull dykes.

While visiting Barbados a few years ago, I stepped out of a cab from the airport and in less than five minutes a fellow literally on the main street offered to sell me cocaine. Not in a back alley or quietly at the back of a bar – right there while pasty white tourists wandered slack-jawed back and forth looking for something interesting to do.
Pretty the island may be but it ain’t no fucking “paradise.” To him I say: “Get over yourself, you twit.”

Well, he’s entitlted to his opinion. Kinda nice that he feels like a lone voice – encouraging. After what Jim says, I’m headed there!

These islands are notoriously homophobic and drug addled!

When global warming gets going full blast and the Barbadans want somewhere dry to live, I’ll say “let them swim” and not “let them in”
