Didn't want to highjack another thread but had to respond to
Macyoder's : "Sadly, it's not limited to gays but children, dogs, women, and disabled (SEEN IT). "
I've SEEN IT too Mac and it was just sickening. Last trip Sophie and I were chatting William on the beach. He asked us to help him get his money sorted out. He had US and JA dollars -- some singles and a couple of $5 / $500 (thank you generous people). After we had it all sorted and in different pockets he asked if we'd walk him to the road so he could go home. Having a feeling Merrills might not like us cutting through (even though we were staying there) we opted for Yellow Bird (we've stayed there many times). As we started up from the beach David started yelling rude comments to us "leave that crazy man on the beach hahaha", " why you walking with the crazy man?" I was shocked.
We got William across the street and started to hail a taxi. He told us "they won't stop for me". We thought surely he must be kidding. But try as we might we couldn't get a taxi to take William. They would stop but as soon as we indicated that the ride was for William, they flew out of there. Taxi after taxi after taxi. Some said "Him rude". . . really, you never deal with rude riders? We were there for at least 15 minutes (you know that is a long time to not get a route taxi to pick you up). We were about to give up (it was hot has hell and I was standing on the side of the road in my dripping wet swimsuit -- yes they would pick up someone in a dripping wet swimsuit but not a poor blind guy). William asked that we stay a few more minutes. Finally we got someone to stop, explained the situation, showed them William had his fare in his hand and they said yes.
What a wonderful Christian country. Punta Cana and Belize are looking pretty good about now. Sure, there might be the same BS there but I don’t know that for sure and I’ve seen it and experienced it Jamaica.
