<A NEWLY established United States foreign policy is demanding that lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals in countries such as Jamaica be afforded a certain minimum standard of human rights.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Baer, who has responsibility for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) rights, told The Gleaner that the policy is intended to ensure people are not discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.

Baer said the US Department of State will not leave it up to the Jamaican society to decide at its own pace if and when it will acknowledge the basic human rights of homosexuals.>

We gave up that privilege in 1962..

[Willi]

So are they denied basic human rights in Jamaica?
I am not aware of that.

[Willi]

Where we really have a problem is that ghetto people in Jam. are routinely denied basic human rights and Uncle Sam does not seem to care...

[Hortical]

Likewise Uncle Sam does not give a damn about poor people in the innercities of America.

There is a certain law which makes practice of one of their natural rights illegal and subject to prosecution.. that is a no-no...

[Muadib]

But wi is not a colony of the USA...

[Assasin]

[Muadib]

please be specific...

[Muadib]

Relevance ?

[Assasin]

The same laws that will allow the state to lock up people practising homosexual behavior is currently in some states, It is just that in some case it is not enforced and there is no witch hunt.

Please revise "natural rights" to "un-natural practices" to reflect reality
