ST ANN, Jamaica – Rastafarian poet and talk show host Mutabaruka said he believes the government and the Jamaica Forum of Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (JFLAG) are not doing enough for homeless gays who continue to create public mischief in parts of the Corporate Area.

Mutabaruka, who was one of the emcees on Rebel Salute last Saturday, January 16, said he is not condoning homosexuality; however, he said it is a fact that if nothing is done to help these homeless people, they will continue to prey on others in society.

“I believe JFLAG not taking care of their own,” he stated, adding that the government should “take some responsibility” to take care of them.

“The people dem can’t go back in their community so what dem ago do. Dem ago turn prey on you,” he said.

Mutabaruka said many may frown at his opinion as a Rastafarian, but he said that it is a fact that if nothing is done, these homeless homosexuals will continue to create public disturbances.

He also pointed out that he was not supporting violence against them.
