Some Deeply Anti-Gay Thoughts
Jamaican national Lashai Williams offers her distasteful thoughts on the gays:
This thing about gays and the rights they have and the rights they want is downright ungodly. If they want to be that way, it is their business; why make it everyone else’s? Has anyone thought about the rights of the people who do not want their children exposed to that kind of nastiness?
Surprisingly, Williams does not condone anti-gay violence: “…Beating them will not make them stop being gay. They are sinning and the ones who are beating them are sinning, too.” Truly a miracle…
You can do all kinds of nastiness proposed in the name of “rights”. The bottom line with rights are that anythinhg is ok zs long as it doesn’t hurt others. As far as children go, seeing any kind of affection is probably healthier than none.
I never understand why religious nutcases don’t understand what freedom of religion means. If you want to take part in a 2000 year-old scam, then go ahead, but don’t think that it grants you some upper hand when it comes to questions of morality. I wouldn’t want my children exposed to the lies, guilt, hatefulness, and loss of self that comes along with religion.
Jamaica has a disturbing history of this sort of thinking, and it seems to be getting worse there. We’re always reading about attacks on LGBT citizens or about vehemently anti-gay musicians and rappers in Jamaica. It’s a dangerous place for us and our allies.
I say it’s time we make a real effort to boycott this country. Tell your friends not to vacation there. Pour out your Red Stripe. (It was never any good, anyway.) Let’s not give any more of our dollars to that economy.
