Some places are more violent than others. Some places have cultures of death and hatred. Some places have leaders in their government, church, popular music, and community that call for the murder of gay people and other places do not. The sad fact is that Jamaica has a culture of hatred and murder towards gay people. And that hatred and violence filters over to those whom they might suspect are gay, those who are supportive of gays, and pretty much anyone else they decide to hate and murder. It is an unsafe place to live. You are lying to yourself. Rather than defend the culture of hatred and violence, why don't you do something to change it? Sorry, Brina, but you are wrong.

You cannot simply say that just because some aspect of the Jamaican culture is against homosexualtiy, that it is an unsafe place to live. There a vicious acts carried out all over in the world but that does not make a place unsafe. In this time no one place is safer than the other. Do not be quick to come to a conclusion about a country based on mere principles, not even shared by everyone there. This is just outlandish!

It's one of those mistakes that always annoy me. Sorry. That is “rein”, as in the bridle of a horse, not “reign”, which is the noun and verb of the reach of a government.
