Woman at risk

A gay reader responds to Pepperpot thus: “I will dismiss the part of your statement about ‘legitimate human rights activities being infiltrated (by gays)…’ as the kind of ‘the sky is falling hysteria’ that prejudice and discrimination generate when the objects (Jews, Blacks, Mexicans… list as many as you can) of that prejudice and discrimination decide enough is enough. Let me tell you about the greater risk to Jamaican women and African-American women: the levels of homophobia drive men who are gay and bisexual to have women in order to be ‘accepted’ and to advance their social and professional lives! Therein lies the risk to women when we tek set pon gay men.”

Kudos to ganja advocates

My girls screamed when they heard the announcement about the decriminalisation of ganja. Kudos to those who carried the fight, including MP Raymond Pryce, Paul Burke and Delano Seiveright.
