Homosexuality Within The Caribbean!

Homosexuality or Men and Women Loving or Having Sex With their own
Gender, have been the reality within this region for decades, or long
before I was born, and will contnue to be a reality long after I am
gone. Christianity with all of it's prejudices have been the modus
operandi which was always used to ridicule this fact as a plague that
had to be eradicated or quarantined. But yet, many Christian converts,
preachers, nuns, and pastors alike are knowingly living a closeted
homosexual life, while a the same time, castigating it as Sinful or
Abominable.

The decision to castigate homosexuals/lesbians in this region, is one
method used by the Self-righteous among us, (Christians and Non-
Christians alike), to make Homosexuals feel Guilty, Ashamed of their
sexuality, and indulge in Underground Sexual activities, which are
oftentimes very harmful and lethal to their personal safety,
livelihood, and self image.

Is Homosexuality A personal Choice or Genetic?

Homosexuality is currently accepted within socio/psychological
disciplines as genetic. One is born with the genes that makes the
individual sexually attracted to another of his or her own gender.
This is as normal as someone who finds someone of the opposite gender
sexually appealing.

Religion has no Authority or Right to determine who has the right to
be so-called Normal, Heterosexual, or Evil. These Christian. Islamic,
or other religious views were coined to castigate those that did not,
or does not confirm to the rules of that or those religions, from time
immemorial.

Homosexuals Have Rights Too:

All Homosexuals have rights too, that must be respected within all
societies. And if any legislation is enacted to castigate, imprison,
behead, whip, or imprison homosexuals/lesbians. That society and law
MUST be Abhorred, and stringent efforts made by all concerned citizens
to ensure that it is rescinded or repealed.

Personal blackmail or slander against any homosexual/lesbian MUST be
challenged in a Court Of Law, and the accuser made to explain therein
his/her reason for so doing.

Freedom Of Speech is also a right for every individual. But it does
not give anyone the right to indulge in blackmail, in order to defame,
denigrate, or castigate any individual/s within that society, or from
enjoying the personal safety, privacy, social standing, or respect he/
she deserves.
