Rather Than Explore Jamaica’s Widespread Anti-Gay Human Rights Abuses, U.S. State Deparment Merely Copy/Pasted Old Reports

We’re not ready to say Michael Petrelis’ discovery — that the U.S. State Department is filing annual reports on Jamaica’s gays by simply copy/pasting the same material from year-to-year — is a smoking gun showing a lack of actual investigations and follow-ups, but if there was real progress to report on how American officials are working to prohibit, or merely document, the human rights abuses against LGBTs there, you would think they would update their own files. Or do the identical year-over-year reports merely indicate there’s been no progress in safeguarding Jamaica’s gays in the past few years?
