If You Care About GLBT Human Rights
Don’t Visit Jamaica
Human rights activists have given Jamaica the infamous title: “The Most Homophobic Place on Earth.” If you love your gay friends and family members, you won’t visit Jamaica. If you care about the human rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, you won’t board a plane or take a cruise to this island.
Isn’t it time we stop rewarding Jamaica with our tourism dollars? You wouldn’t go to a country that persecuted people based on their race, ethnicity or religion. So, why support a nation that prides itself on marginalizing and maligning GLBT people? There should be no gay exception the rules of civility, common decency and human rights.
This nation should be avoided until the Jamaican government takes action to end the country’s virulently homophobic climate and draconian laws that persecute GLBT individuals.
