Gay Pride Activities to Be held in Jamaica Between August 1-6 (Updated)
The Jamaica Forum of Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG) recently announced that gay pride activities to mark growing tolerance for members of the LGBT community will be staged in Jamaica sometime between August 1-6.
Reports initially stated that Jamaica would host its first gay pride road parade but executive director of J-FLAG, Dane Lewis has refuted those reports stating that the country is not yet ready for such an event.
He also states the group is planning a week-long series of activities starting on Emancipation Day, August 1, to mark growing tolerance for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
JFLAG already has one high-profile supporter in the form of Jamaican recording artiste Diana King. King, who revealed she was a lesbian three years ago.
Jamaica is still regarded by many as one of the most homophobic places on earth.

Why dont they keep their sexual orientation to themselves? We do not need to know who is gay and who is straight. If you expose yourselves, knowing your sexual orientation is not accepted, then you have no one to blame for any adverse reactions.
