"Gay Eradication Day"

Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 10:49 AM

Lefty? Progressive? Got gay friends? Support gay rights? Don't spend your tourist dollars in Jamaica.

When THE STAR visited the area, a small group of residents pointed out an old community centre which is said to be the main 'hang out' spot for the lesbians. According to the residents the lesbians gather there almost nightly and can be seen hugging, kissing and even "touching".

The residents say they are mostly worried about the lesbian group as they are most prevalent and influential. The number of persons in this group is said to be steadily increasing. In terms of the suspected gay men, the residents claim they are not as bold as the lesbians and are fewer but they too are expected to comply with the two-week notice.

No quotes from the authorities about protecting the gay men and lesbians in town where the "eradication" is under way. Because, of course, the authorities in Jamaica don't protect gays and lesbians from mob violence. Background on boycotting Jamaica is here. And if Barack Obama is going to send an openly gay ambassador anywhere, he should send one to Jamaica.

Use your dollars toward building more restrooms, where homos can hang out.

Uhh...the paper this story links to says this "news" story is from 2007. Is there some sort of update, or is this just a random thought and link of the day? Don't get me wrong, you couldn't pay me to spend my tourist dollars in Jamaica; I'm just confused.
