I'm one who supports Bruce on this...One thing about Bruce, wrong or right he makes his position clear....And I 100% support him on this. You want to be gay, go be gay but don't be adopting kids etc..A chose to be gay is a choice to abandon parenting etc. Like Bruce, while I can walk pass gays and pretend I don't see them..I don't want and won't tolerate any in my family...

Golding’s talk was part of the Caribbean International Network (CIN) Lecture Series.

Chanting, “Bruce, you're wanted! Unrepentant murder!” and “Gay rights are human rights!” the protesters lined the sidewalk outside the Harlem institution for over an hour as they received comments from supportive and non-supportive bystanders.

Dwayne Brown, organizer of the demonstration and a gay Jamaican who said he fled to the United States after allegedly receiving death threats because of his sexuality, said he would not go inside the Centre for Golding’s speech because he feared a violent response from the audience.
"Jamaica Anti-Homophobia Stand feels strongly that Bruce Golding must be held accountable for the human rights offenses he oversaw during his tenure, including the Tivoli Gardens Massacre and the perpetuation of anti-gay attacks," Brown said
