NOTE-WORTHY: Free to talk
published: Wednesday | May 28, 2008

Free to talk

I totally agree with the statement made by the prime minister re the homo topic. The critics can say what they please. The important thing is that he is not saying that he is against other people's choices.

Why can Amnesty International, gay rights, etc., force their views on us and we are always censured if we, like the PM, express our honest views.

I have many friends, a few co-workers who are gay, but in and out of their presence, I must be free also to say my piece. "I do not subscribe to homosexuality!" I love them anyway!

Thankful

I'm very thankful for the publication of my letter concerning Mr Golding's bravery and uprightness against homosexuals, which compelled many of your readers to send loads of emails of their views to me and bearing in mind that the views would be mixed.

However, one of the emails was from a relative of mine which had set the stage for us to find more of my roots and there was also a reader from Canada blasting Mr Golding.

I'm really thankful for finding my relatives.

No same-sex

I think Mr Golding should not allow any same-sex marriage in Jamaica and should not be pressured by gay activists or whoever.

Born gay?

With the debate raging on about homosexuality, I feel 'a way' when I hear people talking about lesbianism. I feel like I am gay on the inside because I love the female body more that the male body and I am more turned on by a woman than by a man.

I do not believe that I chose this lifestyle because I have been feeling this way since I was in grade nine, plus I was tomboyish when I was growing up. I grew with my heterosexual father and grandmother and I was not exposed to anything gay until I was in college.

Even now my 'condition' is a sore point in my relationship. My question to you is this: Can a person be born gay?
