Jamaica’s Underground Gay Dudes and the harsh way they get treated… Lives in danger.

BE HONEST.  WHAT DO YOU THINK? Is it really for us to judge others the way we do?

<<A group of gay and transgender people in Jamaica have been driven from their homes and are forced to live in an old storm drain, according to Channel 4’s Unreported World.

The programme, follows Krissy, who has faced violent attacks for being openly gay and trans in Jamaican society.

Gay men can face up to 10 years in prison in Jamaica under a state buggery law, while lesbians and trans people also face assaults and persecution, following a dramatic upsurge in homophobic and transphobic attacks.

Krissy lives in a drain designed to carry flood water with a group of gay and transgender friends, in filthy, crowded conditions, and under constant threats of evictions by the local authorities.

85% of Jamaicans think that homosexuality is immoral, and in March this year a majority of parents told a Jamaican newspaper that they would disown or try to cure a gay child.

Wayne W, who has one daughter, wrote: “As long as she is happy, I wouldn’t kill her”, but “if I have a son who is gay that is different”.>>  Source: Channel 4’s UNREPORTED WORLD – pinknews
