If they are then Jamaica is a horror country. We've seen many, many times that gays and lesbians in Jamaica are assualted and murdered for who they are. If you don't like Jamaica's reputation then put in some effort to stop the attacks on gays and lesbians. Carmen, Jamaica is welcoming to tourists and visitors if they aren’t gay.

I am from Jamaica and have never heard such things! How can you judge my country like that?!? It is just like saying that blacks shouldn't move to America because they still have the KKK (which is not as bad as it was long ago) ! Yes I will admit that Jamaica isn't what it used to be, but we are always welcoming to our tourist and visitors. If you have something to say check your facts and actually visit these countries.! If anything you should look out for Cuba and Hispaniola. the Bahamas are beautiful so is Barbados but yet no one says anything about them! Unlike America, the caribbean we stand as one and help eachother out so stop the nonsense about Jamaica being some horror country! How dare you! I am from Jamaica and have never heard such things!

I guess when it come to getting murdered, I must have a "closed mind". Sure, Patrick,

I guess when it come to getting murdered, I must have a “closed mind”.

People in Jamaica are very laid back! I just got back from a trip from Jamaica and didn't stay in the tourists areas and I was just fine. The people there are great! If you go in with a closed mind it won't be a good experience for you! Have an open mind. Want to know the people there. There are some places that aren't good but there are places that are just amazing! Just like in the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia etc. Don't judge if you've never been there or have been there with a prejudged thought! People there are great people!

You are very dirty and disgusting and you won't be tolerated here.

I read a few comments an had to post something. It's their culture so grow testicles or some thick skin, suck it up, and yes GET JESUS. Clearly they live on the most righteous rule of all written in the book. No batty boys (gays) are to walk on their land. How tight is that?! God made man and woman to reproduce.. Look at that like a basic fact. Two men is not only very dirty and disgusting, but not tolerated. I'm all for the violence and would participate in keeping the land clean in Jamaica. Jamaica has their act together on that part. Any other crimes can pass just as equal as anywhere else because some things just need to be done. Hahah. I read a few comments an had to post something.

It is, indeed, a place to be avoided for those who value life, decency, and humanity. As adrean has illustrated, many of the residents of Jamaica are filled with fear, hatred, and violence.
