[...] mine, for a boycott back then. It’ good to see it finally happening thanks to the efforts of Wayne Besen, Mike Petrelis and Jim [...]
Wow, this is absurd.
first off our products have nothing to do with the crimes that happen.
Not everyone in jamaica is homophobic.
it’s hate crimes killing people not the government, theres no reason to hurt the tourism or the exports of the country. its a fantastic place, and maybe you would know if you spent more time there and were not so damn ignorant.
a******s.
and furthermore.
when you do things like this you make the people more hateful towards the GLBT community.
If you want to change things maybe you should think twice.
these actions are no more sensible than the crimes.
Educate people instead of bashing them.
maybe then they’ll understand instead of hating, because what you’re doing here isnt making the situation better. Its making it a heck of a lot worse!
now people who have no problem with the GLBT community are going to start hating as well. thats a damn shame.
you make the whole island look bad when it really isnt. so get your facts straight before you attack the country.
B, your efforts to blackmail people into continuing to pay our tourism and food money to violent bigots is most puzzling. If you believe any facts are inaccurate, please present specifics.
We not “doing things,” we are refraining from doing things such as handing over our slim earnings to a nation whose government and tourism industry refuse to prevent and prosecute antigay violence.
Your demand that Americans continue to pay money, or else Jamaicans will become more violent toward LGBT people, amounts to a demand for ransom.
The Jamaican government has already proven itself closed to what you call “education” and numerous critics of the boycott have declared that gay Americans are unwelcome in Jamaica.
Jamaica gives us little choice but to boycott.
