Althought you felt compelled to let a hateful bigoted rant out, please know that it did you no favors. You only confirmed what we all know: that Jamaica is full of superstitious evil people who are a danger to anyone who is around them. I find it amusing that Jamaicans would think that showing their hate and their animosity would make anyone think better of them.

Even more odd is the idea that calling yourself a christian somehow makes your nastiness and hatefulness better. All it does is make people think, “well, if Diana is a Christian, then Christians must be truly be a vile dreadful nasty bunch of people. What an awful religion.”

Fortunately, there are many many Christian people in the United States who don’t think that anti-gay violence is of God. In fact, they believe that all hatred and violence are evil.

So I think that I’ll just avoid Jamaica with its blood stained flag and mean, nasty, evil people like you, Diana. I think I’ll remind my friends that going on vacation in Jamaica is foolish and dangerous and that their money is better spent on friendlier (and prettier) islands.

You are offended by a symbol. You think that I am “sick” for not honoring a pattern of colors.

But you have expressed absolutely no concern about those whom your culture mistreats, beats, and kills. It is not me, but you and your priorities that are sick.

That might be a few decades off.

Jamaica deserves criticism for its anti LGBT policies.

Tourists need to be warned about traveling to Jamaica . . .

1.It’s only an image so it’s pretty pointless getting so worked up about it. Yes, as someone of Jamaican heritage, I can see how people may find it difficult to deal with but I’m afraid Timothy has a valid point regarding the incidence of homophobia in Jamaica.

2.Timothy, it is a shame you seem intent on generalising about the entire population of a country. Surely, this kind of sweeping statement about a group of people (Jamiacans) is exactly the kind of thing gay and civil rights campaigners have been fighting against for years. As a liberal, non-religious person, I have nothing against gay, straight, black or white people but if you want to change people’s ingrained views, you could do better than antagonising and generalising about an entire population. Religion has played a huge part in mis-educating and corrupting peoples minds, not just in Jamaica but all over the world. Funnily enough, one of Jamaica’s best loved comedians, Oliver Samuels, has been known to be gay for years but no one bats an eyelid in Jamaica so this beautiful island isn’t quite the hotbed of homophobia you make it out to be.

The image is a clumsy attempt to make a valid point. If you want to try and educate Jamaicans that being gay isn’t a sin, maybe you could try to reason with people rather than try to offend and tar the whole island with the same brush.
