Now I have to go around and try to <i>undo</i> getting all the places I frequent to stock that particular brand of spirit. I never went or wanted to go to Jamaica, but I hope something good comes of all of this.

I'm so much more lucid now; the Jamaica Gleaner really put things into perspective for me. “…so why should we drop all our morals, values and religious standards.” I had no idea asking for equal rights was asking Jamaicans to drop all of their morals, values, etc. I didn’t know their whole social system revolved around being anti-gay.
