Whoa! This is seriously good news, Len. Good for the people of Jamaica.
I agree with Mimi! This is GOOD news!
Yes! LGBT citizens of Jamaica have been suffering for lifetimes...there is no wonder people are brutalized when many of the ¨Christian¨ folk specialize in demonzing and outcasting their brothers and sisters at Church...that would include the Anglican camp who were under the thumb of Archbishop Drexel Gomez! What a guy, he prefers to through people out of church than open doors and embrace the least of us!
It´s good to know his ¨old non-thinking¨ is becoming as obsolete as he has become...peoples lives depend on it!
