We enjoy Cruise vacations (on ships, guys) and I delete offers for itineraries that stop in Jamaica or the Cayman Islands. I do have to say that I see very few on the lines we use that actually do stop in Jamaica anymore. I don’t know if there’s a correlation or not–but there are very many L&G (don’t really know about the “B” or “T”) passengers on the ships and I think the lines have been staying away. There are also a good bit of crimes against cruise passengers reported in some places–Jamaica is one of them.

It seems that PR and the DR have picked up a good bit of the traffic, and while those islands and cultures have a mixed history on gay-friendliness, you are definitely unlikely to die from being seen holding your partner’s hand unlike places like Jamaica.

I’ll “Feel All Right” spending my money in places where I am wanted.

Fuck Jamaica.

I’d sooner give up beer than buy Red Stripe. Jamaica is also off limits as a vacation destination.

If the link doesn’t work just go to your own facebook page and put “bun batty man” into search, you will find two pages actually to be flagged. Click on each page and report each of them.

Wow, Dan Cobb, your derailing and dismissive (and also semi-racist and classist) commentary aside, Jamaica has a lot to offer the rest of the world. But then again, this isn’t about what Jamaica has to offer us (see, that is the problem with the whole ‘they are only good as what they have to offer us’ mode of colonialist thought, which is rife with other problems that I am not going to waste my time explaining to you because it isn’t my job to).

This is about making the world safer for all of our LGBT brothers and sisters and exposing anti-LGBT violence and hostility so that it can be adequately addressed and countered so that scenes like the one above of a mob attacking a person who is guilty of nothing more than being themselves will no longer have to live in daily fear of brutalization or murder at the hands of others who feel as if they can get away with such actions because they think no one is watching.

Hint: THE WORLD IS WATCHING. You can continue to ignore this violence, but your silence is also your complicity.

Jamaica? The Jamaica that is the poorest, nastiest, ugliest, most disease-ridden, least educated, poor, dope-smoking cesspool? That Jamaica?
Who cares what they think. Jamaica never was anything and never will become anything. Ever. Even if the earth continues to exist for billions more years. Jamaica will always be a cesspool.

If you are already logged in to facebook before you click on the antigay page link, you will see a “report this page” link in the left-hand column. It works.

The link doesn’t work for me either.
