I found this article distressing on far too many levels. As a photographer, I enjoy the company of creative people; many of whom are homosexuals. But, just as they do not wish to enter my bedroom, I choose not to interfere with their orientation. It is a mistake to believe that homosexuals live a lifestyle of choice, I believe that their orientation is a prerogative set of birth. Consider this: 1 in 5000 births are of people who are so sexually obscured that even the doctor can not tell. The prime minister should not be so parochial in his thinking (and if he wishes to be so, then he should keep his thoughts to himself and not spread such hate as a matter of course FOR the Jamaican people).
As a photographer, I also find it distressing that so much of Jamaica’s natural beauty is being destroyed. I have very selfish reasons for wanting to keep Jamaica beautiful and natural, so, I wont elaborate here. Yes. The tourist business is relevant and important, but can’t we find a way to accommodate both interests?
Finally, I will say it again. We must get rid of a lifetime of mistaken beliefs if we are to solve the crime problems. It is not us against them, but we, as Jamaicans. ALL Jamaicans must be embraced and education, jobs and progress must include us all.
