I think somet of the irrational homophobia in jamaica could be rooted in childhood sexual abuse
for example:
I know a very intelligent Rasta whom I have had the most amazing conversations with - I learned a lot from this man - and i hope i taught him a thing or two..... one thing i could never penetrate was his homophobia - i did my darndest but his argument was always that he does not want someone to touch his sons - when i tried to explain the difference between pedophiles and homosexuality it fell on dead ears - However, I did learn that as a young boy he lived with an uncle that "he did things no one should do to a child" I think those were his most telling words. This is a rational Man with a very irrational fear of homosexuals...
What do you all think?
