I used to go to Jamaica quite often. I would rent a house for a week outside of all the tourist areas. Now with crime so bad and all the publicity of anti-gay attacks, I just won't support the Jamaican government with my tourist money.
There are many areas of the Carribean that are gay friendly. Why should we support Jamaica when the government sends the message we aren't welcome?

I'm sorry you feel that way. Get your faith back with Jamrock & have fun!!!!!!

Please gay people you dont want to go to the island dont go, jamaicans wont miss your dollars. Try to boycott the tourist industry it wont work, go ahead.

Interesting thing is Jamaica (it's citizens and Government) does not realize that it's not just the gay dollars that will dry up but the families, professional colleagues and friends of those "Baty Men". Now, we are dealing with a larger audience. What about professional assoication that may want to hold conferences they are now avoiding Jamaica. It truly is sad how vicious my people can be toward a small minority within their population. As a child I personally witnessed someone being stoned in Kingston and it was absolutely shocking to see how not only the children but the adults cheered it on. I don't blame religion because the bible does not say to attack gay people. I blame it upon the widespread ingnorance, illiteracy, poverty and thug like mentality that affects a good portion of the island. The religous versus are just used to justify their evil behavior. And yes I am Jamaican and proud to be one but I will not visit nor will I advise anyone else (Gay or Straight) to vacation there it is just too dangerous.

Why don't you do your homework before writing. That is not correct. How can you be christian and rast at the same time? It is not the main religion either. It is true, that there are bad people in Jamaica,but the amajority of the people will not bother you if you are gay. I was born there and have always known gay people which no one bothered.You must realize that the people who are doing bad things to people there are the ones who are naturally evil not just against gays, but anyone for that matter. I would invite you to get to know the other side of the other Jamaicans who are down right irrie and kind.

Very well, said some people just listen to what others say without finding out facts first, that hows opposition spread the action of a few does not mean let them all suffer, the majority of people in Jamaica are nice and friendly but many are poor and not well educated, but not stupid so you immoral Americans stop trying to inforce your wats on every country because you have more money in your pocket and power.

Ok I am really and truly disturbed by the things that you people are posting about my homeland...and to be quite frank God neva mek Adam and Steve but, Adam and Eve so all who caa stand Jamaica and their beliefs go find a hole and bury yourself in it. Jamaica is not that bad of place incomparison to some places I've heard of, so do me a favor if ya'll aint got nothing better to say i suggest ya'll don't say anything either. As far as it goes for Jamaica being ANTI-CHRISTIAN that's bullsh*t, it is because of the bible being opposed to homosexuality why the country doesn't favor it...and the people are very friendly and nice so stop spreading bad news on my country!!!

A OOH, Tell them very true!

why in this day and age would anyone be so opposed to homosexuality? In Atlanta, people in Midtown just do their thing and people who don't choose that lifestyle don't participate. Why is that a problem. I know there are gay people in Jamaica. Even if you are on the down low so to speak it still exists. Many of my homosexual friends go to church so what is the problem? It seems to me,jamaica needs the money.My God,you have a huge nudist colony and a ton of weed!

Boycotting JamaicASS is a good move. Bombing the entire dot* on island is a better move. Or we could just allow the ever so brutishly prevalent local gangs of Jamaicass to kill out its population for us.

I like the last point i made most because it just involves the international community just sitting back, watching and enjoying how these savages destroy thier own; no need to get our hands dirty in your countries' business.

Jamaica is a great country!

America can learn much from these good people on how to treat gays!
