Assault On Jamaica Continues

Time Mag Warns of 'The Most Homophobic Place on Earth'

NewsBusters
Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias

It's not clear what writer Tim Padgett is hoping to accomplish by the article, although it's possibly meant to put pressure on Jamaica and drive down tourism. Recently the BBC did a report claiming Iraqi homosexuals were better under Saddam. Now Time has an article sounding the alarm about Jamaica with the title: "The Most Homophobic Place on Earth?"

Perhaps Padgett hopes he can start a movement to boycott Jamaica as a tourist location. Starting a new drumbeat or a new consensus is the dream of all journalists. "How many drumbeats have you started in your career?" is the ultimate benchmark of journalistic accomplishment.

Members of the MSM are practicing imperial liberalism. Not only must left-wing principals be upheld in West, but in the rest of the world as well. Jamaica has a high crime rate, but more important than that to Time is the country's high homophobia rate, which surely must represent a worse threat to the country's security.

Keep it up DV. It's an extreme way of showing what the MSM wants Jamaica to happily embrace. Gayness is what it is.

Blacks, as one of the last groups of people on earth with a genuine belief in God and a resistance to neocon/gay lobby concepts, are second only to Arabs as a target.

But his article didn't do much more than point out the obvious fact: homophobia is a major thing in Jamaica. I think it's entirely possible to defend Jamaica, its peoples and cultures, without supporting homophobia. A couple of the comments thus far don't seem to make this distinction.

I admire Rastafari as a remarkable cultural force, but I think it's pretty clear that gay black men and women (after all, it seems that mainly gay Blacks, not whites, are targeted) didn't construct the walls of Babylon, and they're just as much sufferers as the next straight (wo)man.

Homophobic lyrics were conspicuously absent from Capleton's Reign of Fire album, and I think it was better because of it. Knowing Capleton's insistence on speaking his heart, I believe this represented a change in his opinions, rather than trying to appeal to fans who might be turned off by anti-gay statements.

Also, the idea that neocons and "the gay lobby" are allied is absurd.; Jun 14, 2007, 3:24:00 PM

I am not saying they are allies, just peas in the same pod. Both are breaking down American society.

Individual Americans are broken. the society at large is simply a reflection of that.

and the "gay agenda" is there is one, is only a small part of the problem. very small.; Jun 14, 2007, 5:13:00 PM

Actually it is neither obvious nor is it a fact that “homophobia” is anything in Jamaica.

What you call “homophobia” could mean many things, and every one of them is a product of your interpretation.

Many people called Homophobic are not “afraid of Homosexuals”.

They simply think homosexual sex is aberrant behavior and refusing to “accept homosexuality” does not make them a bigot.

The discourse has become politicized. What is happening in Jamaica is about politics. Not sex. Pressuring Jamaica to remove anti-boogery laws is a political and cultural attack, not a request for human rights.; Jun 14, 2007, 5:24:00 PM

This is samsara, endlessly flowing on without completion. But if we truly know conventional reality, we will also know liberation. Here we find completion.
