MP Damion Crawford’s ‘Dutty Labourite’ speech is a sure sign of how difficult it is to get the political tribalism out of Jamaicans, even the intelligent ones.

…The real danger to men who have sex with men

I don’t say this just because I am a sister, but the campaign to legitimise homosexuality had better be careful. Legitimate activities such as human rights and the fight against HIV/AIDS are being infiltrated and taken over by gays who couldn’t care less about human rights or what is driving the AIDS epidemic. It’s not laws that’s causing the spread, it’s the worthless, irresponsible behaviour of some homosexuals who need to be reined in. They are the real danger to men who have sex with men… and the women they pass the disease on to.
