Gay rights advocates should come clean

Gay rights advocates should come clean

Dear Editor,

In recent times members of the gay community have been showing increasing hostility and aggression towards people who observe a normal traditional sex life.

This aggression is no longer verbal only as there are now increasing acts of violence by gay persons against members of the non-gay community.

The gay community is now receiving support from so-called human rights advocates who have failed to disclose that they are actually receiving financial and other support from the gay community and that their advocacy of human rights on behalf of the gay community is all part of a policy of encouraging the spread of homosexuality, especially amongst children and young people.

In this regard, these so-called human rights advocates are prostituting their commitment to human rights. They join homosexuals in attacking persons who do not support a gay lifestyle. They use their influence to undermine persons at their workplace such as they have done to Professor Bain.

It appears that they have now joined forces with the gay community in a policy of destroying anyone who objects to a homosexual lifestyle.

This cannot be considered human rights. For it cannot be that any criticism of a way of life should lead to your destruction by those who do not agree with you.

These so-called human rights advocates have gone abroad and lied in a significant way about our country. Each time a member of the gay community is murdered they quickly blame the rest of us, even though there is glaring evidence that these murders are committed by gay persons.

Human rights advocates who are receiving financial support from members of the gay community should come clean and admit that they are acting both as a front for the gay community.

They should cease spreading rumours about the rest of us as we are not anti-human rights. We just believe that members of the gay community should keep their lifestyle to themselves and not try to shove it down our throats.

I have said elsewhere that I have no difficulty with our laws being amended to allow consenting adults to do what they want to do in the privacy of their homes. What I am not prepared to tolerate is members of the gay community seeking to portray the rest of us as abnormal, and with the support of these so-called human rights advocates seek to suggest that anyone who is not a member of the gay community is anti-gay and, by extension, anti-human rights. This is stark dishonesty.

Members of the gay community need to realise that if they continue their acts of aggression and violence against normal members of society they should expect a backlash that will have serious consequences for us all.

Homosexuals need to respect our rights to live the way we live. Any attempts to impose their lifestyle on us will be resisted. In this regard the attempt by Jamaicans For Justice to teach our children that anal penetration is normal sex is a vulgar and repulsive act of dishonesty on the part of those involved.

The Ministry of Education and the Child Development Agency have a duty to ensure that these so-called human rights advocates are not allowed to enter our institutions and introduce inappropriate literature to our children.

These so-called human rights advocates should keep their literature at their homes for their children and grandchildren and should cease giving them to children or persons who are vulnerable.
