My thoughts on…Brokeback Mountain’s arrival in Jamaica
Yes folks, Brokeback Mountain has finally made its way to Jamaica. I saw it on the Palace Cineplex billboard while heading to school yesterday morning. I said to myself “So those gay cowboys have made their way to Jamaica. Surprising that the Jamaican public didn’t have anything to say about it.” But the Jamaican people did have something to say, as I found out on the way home from school. The Star, Jamaica’s most popular tabloid, carried the headline “No to gay movie.” Not surprising, as homosexuality is taboo in Jamaica. In fact, it’s downright illegal.
Now before you gay advocates out there start posting hateful comments, understand that Jamaica is a very conservative country. Our laws are based on those of the Holy Bible, and the Bible says that homosexuality is immoral. That’s our belief. That’s our culture. DEAL WITH IT! Personally, I’m tired of hearing about Brokeback Mountain, the awards, the jokes and the parodies. Oh Brokeback Mountain, I wish the media knew how to quit you!
