Today has been proclaimed 'Gay Eradication Day' by residents of the McGregor Gully community in East Kingston. Residents say that they will be taking action as a two-week notice given to all gays and lesbians to flee the community has now expired.

THE STAR learnt that about two weeks ago angry residents who declared that they were fed up with seeing the activities of several gay persons in their community, ordered that they leave by today or suffer the consequences.

Some residents who admitted to THE STAR that they are a part of the "gay clearing out" scheme said that it is being done to protect their families and the community on a whole.


It's been awhile since I was in Jamaica but I don't remember seeing any homophobia anywhere on the island.

If this is article is true; even as a straight dude; I doubt if Jamaica will see any of my tourist dollars in the future.

Really? Do you think all gay people act like that? Because of opinions like that, gay people are all labeled as being fairys that dance around in the streets, and trust me, that's not true at all

Thanks for the reminder of this "event". You probably couldn't tell, since the *cough* "reverend" has a date-updated banner at the top of their stories", however this happened in April of 2007.

Apparently the stoners (as in people with stones) and other mob members were successful in their quest to find a few gays or lesbians alone and stone/beat them. Very spotty information came out about this event.

These were not visitors "inflicting themselves" upon the island of Jamaica. They were (and presumably ARE) Jamaican citizens.

According to JFLAG, it isn't illegal to be homosexual in Jamaica. There is some legislation on that site to support that notion. This seems to be a localized action, however I can't find anything to confirm that; it simply isn't spoken about amongst Jamaicans that I know personally.

I guess that the "island of love and fellowship" that I once visited with my wife many years ago has chosen another direction, or by inaction chosen it. It was once a beautiful and peaceful, music-filled place to be.

The article was not about gay sex tourism. It was about a pogrom by Jamaicans against homosexuals in their own community.

Still, homophobia is stupid and vicious, so it's hardly surprising that someone who indulges in it had trouble comprehending a simple newspaper article. Neither is your evident approval of hate-crime.

Your post is an insult to the man whose image you are using as your avatar. Keith Flint is no homophobe:

(Gay icon Simon Hobart)... launched Popstarz which in time became the largest gay club night in London with thousands of regular revellers. It also attracted scores of big name stars including Mick Jagger, Brian Molko, Keith Flint and Little Britain star Matt Lucas. Source


And for your information, he isn't American either. That's just a shirt he wears on stage.
