Gay rights activists in the United States and Britain have taken an article which appeared in the Jamaica Observer under the headline; Father encourages students to maul gay son at Dunoon Park Technical, and posted it on at least five gay websites.

The nature of the posts suggests that the gays are wary of the perceived homophobic nature of Jamaicans and advised gay travellers to tell their travel agents about the article. Seemingly in a bid to discourage travel here.

On the website GayToday.com, the first paragraph of the article is posted under the headline, Family Values in Jamaica. Another website christophercyber.com describes Jamaica as a gay man's hell.

The article is also featured on the web sites exodus.blogs.com/synopsis/crimes, outletradio.com and a gay talk radio site.
Homosexuals have always expressed their disgust with the anti-gay sentiment which manifests itself in dancehall music.

Last year, gay rights activists in Britain filed a court injunction against dancehall DJ's Beenie Man and Elephant Man for inciting violence against homosexuals. In January this year, the British court system ruled that the DJ's should not be charged.

Reggae ambassador, Buju Banton, also came under pressure from the gay community for the single, Boom Bye Bye, which the gays said called for them to be killed.
