(Jamaica Observer) It was not a scheduled item on the agenda for discussion when United States President Barack Obama met with Jamaica’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller and seven of her Cabinet ministers on Thursday, April 9 at Jamaica House, but the matter was destined to come up.

In fact, Obama placed the treatment of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in Jamaica as one of the first topics to be discussed, following opening statements by the Jamaica team and their United States counterparts, an impeccable political source informed the Jamaica Observer.

“The two original items that Obama and his team had down for discussion were the Jamaican economy, with particular reference to Jamaica’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF); and energy, bearing in mind the situation with the PetroCaribe oil deal with Venezuela,” the source disclosed to the Sunday Observer.

“Jamaica had listed the wiping of the criminal record of (National Hero) Marcus Garvey and a plan that involved the training of nurses and sending them to work in the United States, as its two main points for the talks,” the official went on.

Simpson Miller’s Cabinet ministers present were: Robert Pickersgill, Dr Peter Phillips, Phillip Paulwell, Derrick Kellier, Anthony Hylton, Ronald Thwaites and AJ Nicholson.

Obama politely conveyed his Administration’s “dismay” that Jamaica had not moved fast enough in ensuring that the rights of the LGBT community were being respected and even protected.

The US president implored his Jamaican hosts to ensure that the sexual preference of all Jamaican citizens be respected.

Jamaica is regarded as a country that is intolerant to “irregular” sexual conduct, and has even been labelled by human rights groups as the most homophobic place on Earth, what with reports of a high level of crime and violent activities directed at members of the LGBT community.

The US State Department three years ago even described Jamaica as a country in which “homophobia was widespread”.

Jamaica does not allow same-sex marriages, as do some countries, including the USA and England, but those involved in non-traditional sexual activities say there has been a rise in the number of Jamaicans who have now become so inclined.

Anti-gay activists have insisted that violence against members of the LGBT community is not carried out by ‘straight’ people, but members of the LGBT community themselves, who are often accused of unleashing considerable punishment on those in their flock who transgress, including beatings, stabbings and shootings, oftentimes resulting in death.

The matter of the treatment of the LGBT community was raised only once publicly during Obama’s 22-hour stay on the island — during a United States Embassy-organised Town Hall meeting at the University of the West Indies.

After his “greetings, massive … wah a gwaan Jamaica” introduction, Obama highlighted challenges faced by members of the LGBT community, with specific reference to Angelie Jackson, whom he described as a lesbian.

“When she was 19, Angelie and a friend were kidnapped, held at gunpoint, and sexually assaulted,” the US president told a packed auditorium. “As a woman and as a lesbian, justice and society weren’t always on her side, but instead of staying silent, she chose to speak out and started her own organisation to advocate for women like her, in order to help them push back stereotypes and give them some semblance of their own power, and she became a global activist.

“But more than anything, she cares about her Jamaica and making it a place where everybody, no matter your colour, class or sexual orientation, can live in equality,” Obama said.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

why does not this disgusting man go find something useful to do with his time, rather than imposing behavior on people they do not want to effect...or need to >:( >:( >:(

what is this homosexual carp Obama is going on with when Jamaica is a very poor country with a debased currency worth crap in the world, operating at 150% of GDP..a debt imposed on Jamaica by the international banking, that is responsible for the detah of Jamaicans everyday..that is responsible for the vast poverty in Jamaica that blights the lives of many thousands of Jamaicans.

Homosexuality is a an issue in Jamaica that is relative to a minority of the Jamaican people, hrdly an issue that is bread and butter.  American financial policy in and to Jamaica on the other hand affects all Jamaicans in the worst of ways, responsible for the stunting of Jamaicans, destroying all their chances in the world

ObAMA SKUNT IS PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN AND SUPPOSEDLY IN CHARGE, SUPPOSEDLY AWARE OF ALL OF THIS. 

OBAMA CAN HAVE NO RESPECT FOR JAMAICANS, FOR THEIR HUMANITY AND INTELLIGENCE IF HE CAN NOW GO TO JAMAICA, AND IN THEIR FACES, RAISE A VIRTUAL NON ISSUE UP TO THE RAFTERS IN IMPORTANCE, WHEN THERE ARE VERY URGENT ISSUES, OF GREAT, GREAT IMPORTANCE FACING JAMAICANS..  ISSUES OF UNIVERSAL IMPORTANCE TO LIFE AND SURVIVAL  IN JAMAICA.....JAMAICAN ISSUES THAT HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DOES NOT ADDRESS AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

OBAMA IS THE SAME SKUNT WHO TORE JAMAICA APART TO FIND ONE MAN... DUDUS COKE..AT GREAT COST TO JAMAICA OF LOST, INNOCENT LIVES AND PROPERTY DESTRUCTION.. AND MILLIONS IN POLICING AND MILITARY COSTS.  THE LIVES OF ORDINARY JAMAICANS WERE OF NO CONCERN TO HIM THEN BUT THE LIVES OF JAMAICAN HOMOSEXUALS ARE NOW OF GREAT CONCERN TO HIM. 

WHAT MAKES JAMAICAN HOMOSEXUAL LIVES MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOSE OF ORDINARY JAMAICANS ::confused:: ::confused::

Obama is such a fake and a fraud, such a hypocrite he is incredible..an incredibly evil human being. 

this homosexuality he is pushing on the world must be the leading edge of some program of social control for the people of the world that america is pushing.

west indians do not agree with homosexuality for the very valid reason that it leads nowhere.  there is only human end in homosexuality and if anyone is pushing homosexuality then the only purpose they can have in mind is the end of humanity..or at the very least the severe and huge reduction of the human population on planet earth.  there can be no other purpose.

that is what Obama is about...population reduction ::confused::

what an effing devil this black man is..a devil with a pretty face who has been accused  personal homosexuality himself.

and in the west indies there have been homosexuals and trannies for years but no one troubles then as far as I know.  homosexual..or crimes against homosexuals.. has been rampant in the white countries, in the USA in particular but never in the west indies.  I grew up in Trinidad... there are a lot of homosexuals there but I never heard of crimes against homosexuals until I began to live in Canada. 

the obvious homosexuals were all working men and women and were no charge on anybody in the Trinidad I knew.  that meant that no one threatened their existence, nor prevented them from getting a job and making a living. 

so what the eff is Obama talking about?

he must know all this as president.  all he has to do is ask the question and their are functionaries to proved the answers. 

and if he knows that, he will know too, that raising an issue in the face of the people, against their will, an issue they had worked out an accommodation with, had resolved, that that  is playing with the social fire.  and homosexuals with the backing of america raising themselves up in opposition to the majority, looking to make homosexual marriages and adoption of children legal adds serious fuel to that fire.

brutal crimes and violence is bound to rise against homosexuals in the west indies, if Obama continues to drive that issue on the people.  he is creating the very thing he is supposed to be against by pushing this issue which was no issue at all in the west indies.

the more I see of this Obama personality the more complete the  impression grows that he is an anti christ figure.  this issue he rises here is like turning things, reality, on its head.  there is nothing he says in that article that represents the truth, represents west indian reality.  it is clear Obama is pushing some global but insane agenda, with his homosexual focus.

craps is what it is

you have a problem reading.  you read like somebody I know FB

deh lived in dignity all the time, in recognition of their way of life.  west indian society gave them that.  they were secure. 

but that is not what they want now.  under that dignity crap they are turning the society homosexual, pushing a lifestyle  that is insane, making a lifestyle that has no way out an alternative.

they are teaching that insanity to children in the usa..its in all the schools, in books they teach children how to read and write.  what!!!  their dignity..what they see as their dignity,  requires overall human suicide ::confused::

don't be ridiculous! >:( >:( >:(

this is the way I see it. 

the general way of nature can realize itself in homosexuals just as it can in may many human types.... but in the process general ways are realized that are recognizably positive..like reproduction. our biology corresponds to the way nature is going productively.

so the general positive ways are codified in institutions like marriage of one form or another according to culture.  it have nutten to do with good and bad just process that either works to keep humanity ticking along or it does not.  if it does not then we adjust to what does.

what do we do with what exists but is not general and is opposed to society ticking along ::confused::  in the case of human beings, homosexuals, they can live of course as they do live.  they find socially acceptable ways to live in the general society and go on.  they do not generally reproduce themselves but some do have children.

but all of that is supposed to be according to common social practice.  it works itself out as in the west indies in which society adjusts itself to whatever is in its body so it can live.  the real problems begin when entities, parasites like churches and government bureaucracies. religions get revelations from god to say this or that is bad and develops social crusades against what thy tell people is evil in order to get them to pay for the religion.  they get the government to pass laws based on religions principle and prohibition and we have major,on going problems as a result.

so the resolution of social problems is taken away from the people in normal response to routine conditions of existence and placed in the government, church, police and in volunteer organizations they call NGOs.  and these institutions worsen the problems to justify their existence. hence the festering of so many issues like homosexuality into criminal activities of violence, brutality and murder

now the same institutions have decided to make homosexuality a valid thing, an option in life for their own purpose so they are forcing it down the collective throat of global society as an option in life.  they are trying to make the whole world accept homosexuality as a good thing that society can indulge in productively.

Homosexuality is not a productive activity that society can indulge in and come out with good effect.  we will pay a huge price for  that kind of behavior if it becomes general.
left without governmental coercion, the people isolates homosexuals generally to their own society so that they can get along.  the general society and homosexual society inter relate all the time.  and all is well.  but along comes Obama who directed by his elites now pushing an homosexual agenda on the world with the expressed purpose of population reduction.
I don think they care if the general population explodes and kills homosexuals.  that is what they want anyway..the elimination of lives.  in the end they will still get their homosexuality passed into law which will further reduces numbers of people on the planet..in addition to all the lives consumed along the way.  that is what they are after..the loss of life..big time

Obama...an anti christ!
