Dominican journalist learns of inroads made by US gays

Journalists on the Foreign Press Center reporting tour

Dominican journalist Carlisle Jno Baptiste is learning first hand about the inroads being made by gays and lesbians in the United States.

Jno Baptiste is representing Dominica News Online on a Foreign Press Centre reporting tour on “A Developing Narrative Lesbian, Gay, bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights and Issues in the United States”.

The DNO reporter and several others from 16 different countries are hearing from key stakeholders across the political spectrum in the US on LGBT issues and rights.

On the opening day of the tour journalists were updated  on the inroads gays and lesbians have made in government, politics, media, the military and education.

On day one of the trip in Washington DC, the group met with editorial staff of the Washington Blade including editor Kevin Naff, and later visited the Department of Defense at the Pentagon.

The Washington Blade described as the only “Gay” paper, is produced weekly.

Naff explained that the paper had survived “trying times over the years” and suggested that its reputation was impeccable.

“We are very happy at the decision of President Obama, as a Gay paper we have always had a Gay Reporter at the White House since the years of President Reagan but during press conferences no one has yet to call on a Gay Reporter,” Naff recalled.

Kevin Naff

He said they were “kicked out” of the White House during the second term of the Bush administration whose officials were very “hostile and antagonistic”.

Naff is optimistic that while the upcoming presidential election will be “close”, the Obama camp will win.

“Same sex marriage is legal in six US states while in others it is not, our country still has a long way to come….if Romney wins we (as gays) are doomed for lots of bad things will happen to us,” he said.

“Mitt Romney is like a dinosaur, we can’t think of Obama losing this election, his latest decision was honest, straight and helped a lot of people now come out openly and so we have endorsed him for another term,”  Naff, who has been gay all his life, remarked with a smile.

While observing that the issue is “deeply rooted in religion” the newspaper editor insisted that like everyone else, gays have a right to live a “normal life.”

Among laws he expects a new Obama regime to tackle if the incumbent  wins a second term, is a 1974 Act “Employment none discrimination Act” and the “Defensive Marriage Act” which he says greatly “hurts and discriminates against the LBGT community”.

    This is maximum over-kill. Gays are NOT discriminated against in Dominica, this is a predominantly catholic society; they just want to marry and ought to take it up with the catholic church.

      Gays are not discriminated against in Dominica? THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST HOMOSEXUAL ACTS. When your way of life is ILLEGAL, you are being discriminated against. Gays don’t just want to marry, they want to have equal rights to straights.

      I am native Dominican. Maybe we should start kicking out the Africans while we are at it. Would that make you feel a bit of what a gay person feels? The whole island does not sympathize with the ones who were sold on “old world” religion. Most of the time, the ones screaming this mess are closeted and probably live in a lying marriage with the opposite sex- all the time cursing out the “gays”. Celebrities do this all the time. Some people are very showy, so these “morality things” are most important to them. It’s hard to believe that some are even stupid enough to think that being gay is not a natural occurrence but a learned thing. “Old world” is full of hate.

    Nothing like a story on homosexuality to have Dominicans out in droves. Yeehaaaaaar !

    Its like someone collectively bulled and licked the whole country at some point and they still vexed about it.

    Meanwhile most dominicans will jump high and low for a passport to go to any of those countries because surprise surprise, they tolerate all views.

    Unlike successful god blessed dominica.

    Gays are people/human beings but sexual intercourse with the same sex is bizarre and unnatural though they may legalize gay activities universalie the gays would be living a lie/illusion thinking that they are living a normal life, Yahweh knows because He did not leave in ignorance.

    When Obama ran for a senate seat in Illinois, he was for homosexual marrying each other.Candidate Obama for president conveniently changed his position and boldly proclaimed I AM FOR ONE MAN MARRYING ONE WOMAN.When the same Obama became president of the USA,he said I am evolving on this issue (like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly).Obama again changed his position, “I AM FOR MEN MARRYING MEN AND WOMEN THE SAME.”He is like a dog drinking it’s own vomit.

      I believe your piece of history is correct. So is your evaluation of Obama. I am a Canadian and I am concerned about his administration because the fact that he uses the size and place of the USA on the world stage to bully other nations. He does this with the help of Mrs. Clinton and his ambassadors without any regard for protocol or good manners. He is pushing the gay agenda like a man out of control with no respect for the independance of sovereign nations. His biggest mistake is to not realize thast marriage was instituted b God. It is not a livng arrangement that evolved in society. It was given to mankind by an all wise and loving God. The model God gave us was one man and one woman united to the exclusion of all others for as long as they both shall live. No human government has the authority to redefine marriage. By legalizing same sex marriage he is taking his nation out from under God`s protection. Other polititians have done the same. It is this defiance of God that will plunge our world very soon into the terrible blood bath the Bible calls the great tribulation when God willpour out his wrath upon th nations that have regected His Son and trampled His Word under their feet. Mr. Obama, you are a fool! Do what you will in your own couintry, but keep your dirt at home! Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist. http://www.livinghopeministries.ca

    @ virgo – Gays and Lesbians push their agenda because society is unaccepting of their lifestyle. They want to be accepted and not discriminated against. Black folks who are discriminated against on a daily basis should be a little more sympathetic to their cause. I must say that from my observations, gays and lesbians have long lasting relationships unlike their heterosexual counterparts. That says a lot. I wonder what they’re doing that we’re not. It is said that the divorce rate is 50%. Go figure :lol:

        @ Dominican Queen- With all due respects, I don’t know where you’re getting your information from. Fitrst of all, Gay Marriage is not legal in the Caribbean, and it is only legal in eight states in the U.S, New York State being the latest. It is also legal north of the border in Canada Additionally, Seven countries in Europe legally recognize Gay Marriage. Because the legalization of gay marriage is fairly new, there is no data to support your claim that the divorce rate among Gays is high. We bash Gays and Lesbians a lot, but I’ll repeat, the divorce rate among heterosexuals is 50%. Lets take the plank from our eye before we take the mote out of our brother’s eye.

    To each his own BUT dear me if this were so much of a natural occurence not withstanding hemophrodites who have no control over the way they were born, why do they need to PUSH their agenda so much. These people are trying to force this down everybodys throat or else?

    I am not sitting in judgement but something is definitely amiss with this GAY/LESBO/TRANNY and all things in Between issue.

    For the person commenting on OBAMA stick to your own values and do not wait on these so called leaders and people in position for direction. Obama is a cousin of the wind, which ever direction it blows he changes course. He has NEVER been one to keep his word, and if only people read his own book you all would see his very inconsistencies. At the end of the day he is a politician and they are just sluts going to the highest or lowest bidder, depending on the motel they are in.

      @ Tri State Beauty – The Gay and Lesbian Community push their agenda because society is unaccepting of their lifestyle. They want the world to understand that they are people like you and I, and they should not be treated differently nor should they be discriminated against. Black folks in general should understand this, because we are discriminated against daily because of the colour of our skin, regardless of our social status. Look at the way the Republicans treat President Obama….they won’t admit it, but its plain to see.

      Tri-State Beauty,
      It would be good if you educate yourself about the social ills that gay and Lesbian and all in between people who are considered vulnerable populations feel and are treated by the general public. As a majority you do have the acceptance of most but as a minority you are usually left to suffer from the ignorance of the majority if you do not fight for your rights.

        No point asking them sensible questions, American in Dominica. Many Dominicans are blind on anything to do with the bible and would happily sell themselves into the slave trade again if the biblical god told them to–which he might, since he never once forbade slavery–not even in those commandments. Dominica has a long, long way to go before it can be called a smart, sensible place.

        Slavery? it’s only americans or white people who made slavery bad… just to let you know in bible times there was slavery…however not the extent of the slavery the africans suffered… God didn’t destroy the African slavery because he will not do that until he returns to earth again….

        As you can see or u should know that the two cities destroyed was in the old testament and God was directly connected to the people… in The old testament God was connected with the people through his son… who was on earth… his son now is up in Heaven and God is just patient… one day…everyone will pay for their sins

    Jump high, jump low, it is wrong and it is not man who deemed it wrong, it is the Almighty God.

    This is a very good example of a “seared conscience”. When we allow the enemy to harden our hearts so that we do not accept the living word of God and we begin to accept the explanations of convenience given to us by man. As one blogger rightly said above; and this is a prophetic declaration, “Babylon the great has fallen”…God does not endorse this nonsense and will never accept it, just like He does not tolerate or accept the other sins listed in the living word. Each one of you that is for these gay folks, I challenge you on this one – “if” tomorrow a law supporting polygamy is passed in Dominica, will you support that too? Will you support the men who will want to have more than one wife and accept the reasons why they want to do it? Stop looking at things blindly! Ask God to shine his glorious light into the hearts and minds of His people, to destroy the works of darkness residing there. It is nothing but the works of darkness. Lord send your Angels to deliver your people.

    My wife and I have been happily married for over three years and have a baby on the way. Gays getting married in no way undermines our marriage; if anything, expanding that freedom only strengthens the fact that our marriage reflects who we are and the choices that we have made. Our marriage would not be made better by gays and lesbians not being allowed to be married.

    My uncle was gay. He was my grandmother’s brother, and he lived during a time when gays were harassed or thrown in jail in the U.S. He could not have been attracted to women if you held a gun to his head. He died a lonely man, not ever having the freedom to be who he was in his own life. No one else’s life was made better by his being made worse.

    Now that laws are different, and even many states recognize same-sex marriage, we have many gay friends and colleagues in the U.S. who are open in who they are. My experience is that they are no different in any other regard from anyone else.

    I doubt many people in Dominica have actually met an openly gay or lesbian person, yet they have very strong opinions about them, and seem to think they’re the worst kind of people. For those who think it’s sinful, that’s not a question of law but of faith. That’s between you and your church, and does not concern anyone who does not go to your church. And again, no one’s life is made better by gays and lesbians’ lives being made worse.

    It’s the “Employment Non-Discrimination Act,” not the “Employment none discrimination Act”. And it’s the “Defense of Marriage Act”, or DOMA, not “Defensive Marriage Act”. All of this could have easily been checked online.

    Within the U.S., each of the 50 states makes its own laws regarding marriage, but each state is generally expected to give legal effect to marriages legally performed in other states. The Defense of Marriage Act is a federal law making an exception to that rule, so that states are not required to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.

    Like somebody else said man, take all the gay and put them on an island and in a few years they will die off because this is UN-NATURAL. This goes against the very laws of life, religion and nature. If all you have to do all you nasty stay in all you closets man, cha!

    Well Carlisle boy they send you on a sensitivity trip, I eagerly wait to hear your opinions when you return…

    Boy, we are leaving the world to our children a little worst off than we inherited from our parents.

      The lord put him there, you say?

      I suppose the lord also put all the mass-murdering kings, dictators, tyrants, and rulers in their positions, too. Wonder why he didn’t stop all the bloodshed, though. Hmm.

      @ Voice
      Here is a quote from your post: “As for Obama, the LORD took him out from far and brought him up to be the leader of his people and this is the way that Obama repaid HIM.”

      Do you think that God love gays and lesbians any less than he does straight people? Are you Catholic? If so, do you continue to go to Church/Mass, even though some of those Catholic Priests have robbed young boys of their innocence? Do you call those priests nasty? Do you think that being a gay/lesbian is more sinful than any other sin that we as humans have committed? Adultery, murder, theft, envy, gossip, etc.? Sin is sin, but it is interesting how we, as a society, seem to think that some sins are worse than others. We are are all God’s chldren regardless of our sexual orientation.

      Ignorance and inconsideration are the two great causes of the ruin of mankind and sadly you portray both of these traits in your comment. Why is it people like you call on the name of God to pass judgement on others simply because of what your religion teaches. People like you always pretend to love God but have loved your fellow men the least.

      Your last line in your comment shows how little you understand the world around you and whats going on. The recipe for perpetual ignorance is be satisfied with your opinions along with your religious beliefs and content with your knowledge.You also have a right to your opinions and religious beliefs but always remember they are not always the truth.

        More and more the spirit of the antichrist is stronger, creating illusions and counterfeits of the Creator’s creation and purpose.

        Right–why don’t you prove that this antichrist is making illusions or disprove that people are born gay. You can’t just say one or the other is true/false and leave it at that. Prove your claims are true.

      If I’ve understood your rambling mess of a post, are you saying that homosexuals are crazy because they cannot breed and have been “trying” to for a long time? If so, this is wrong on every count. If a gay person wants to “breed,” you can do in vitro fertilization. But as to why you think gay people are trying to produce children by themselves is beyond me.

      Furthermore, I can only assume you also think infertile men and women are “unnatural” abominations.

    Why is it there are always some word or phrase to describe someone who doesnt accept these ppl way of life? Cause Romney dont support gay rights his a dinosaur? And whats wrong in being a bigot anyway? What so wrong in having an ideal or belief and sticking to it?? Man to man wrong from the beginning of time, why should we suddenly acceptit? De same way its allu ppl right to accept boom boom over pum pum, izent it our right to not accept your lifestyle choices?

      You ask what’s wrong in being a bigot? A bigot is someone who judges or hates an individual based on a group they belong to instead of who they are as an individual. In other words, you are prejudiced towards them. Would you think it’s alright for someone to judge black people or Dominicans as a group without regard to individuals, to think all Dominicans are criminals or drug addicts, or somehow less than human? That would be bigotry, and it’s wrong in any form.

      “What’s wrong with being a bigot”–Nice. It’s a rare bigot who not only knows he’s a bigot but actually asks what’s wrong with being one. You, sir, deserve a running-up for a Darwin Award for least-evolved.

      There is little scientific proof to confirm that. Studies were done in the early 1990’s and homosexuality was claimed to be genetic,but this has since been “debunked”. There is more evidence to suggest that its psychological than genetic. And i’m being very logical here, not homophobic.

        @ Valhalla – When I was a child, we had a neighbour with several children. One young chap, used to come over to play doll house with us and he always wanted to be the Mommy. Today, he is a gay man; was that psycholigical? I don’t think so. I believe he was born that way, only because I was exposed to him from a very young age (5-6 yrs old) and witnessed his female tendencies.

      • Malgraysa
        June 5, 2012

        Yeah yeah Vakhalla. Scientific studies also done to prove that a) the earth is flat b) that man can not fly c)that the sun orbits the earth (supported by the church, no less!). If man is not born gay than that development, in later life must be “evolution”, if he is born gay it must be !”the work of God” or “creation”. Of course, for many people either would be blasphemy so…please explain, all you smart people.

      I don’t see why it should matter whether gays are born that way or choose to be that way. The only issue should be whether it affects their own lives more than anyone else’s.

      If you are a thief, then you’ve hurt me by taking my property. If you are gay, then you haven’t hurt me at all. If I try to stop a thief, I have protected my property. If I try to stop gays, I have done nothing to better my own life.

      Why would God say that homosexuals will not inherit His kingdowm but create them that way? People were NOT born that way. This is spiritual, and the ruling demon of sexual immorality is behind this. There are so many homosexuals who hate themselves, not because of society, but because deep down inside they do not want to be this way, but they can’t help it so they stop fighting it. They can’t help it because they are fighting a demon, and you cannot fight a spirit with the flesh. That’s where the Holy Spirit comes in, and if you do not have him, then you’re going to think that it’s ok to be gay. I have seen people delivered from the spirit of homosexuality and are now happy, and married with children. God showed me this spirit one time in a young man and my heart was breaking for him, just like how God’s heart is breaking when He sees what His children are allowing the devil to do. That young man was delivered in the name of JESUS while the spirit was screaming “NO NO HE IS MINE.” Alas, there are so many more to go!

    Carlaise needed this education, maybe he will think about what he learned before he comes on the airwaves and make bigoted comments about gays! DNO, you can publish it if you like! I don’t care. All you need to learn where the line is between freedom of expression and censorship to. I think you have crossed the line into censorship anyway, so I won’t be surprised if you do not publish the views I just expressed!

        Here you go SMARTY SAMMY,calling someone an “unbelievably small-minded little fool”, and saying “People like you really should not be allowed to vote.”, just because he has openly expressed his opinion here.I think your attitude is also some form of Bigotry :Bigoted attitudes; intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself. Yes i think there is something definetly wrong with your philosophy here. and do i sense a little arroogance also..??
        You plaster him with a derogotory label, and take away his right to vote, because his opinion is different than yours. WOW. Take a good at your your way of thinking. You would be a good dictator,or even communist. How would you feel if someone gave you the same type of treatment?
        just my opinion, ok. No hard feelings.

      • Sam Harris
        June 5, 2012

        This is not a mere difference of opinion. This is similar to saying that you would not vote for a man because he supports women’s rights to contraception–even though you despise the other candidate. If May is actually a Romney supporter and was so from the beginning, fine, but the picture I have is that May has simply decided to say “screw Obama” because of the gay rights issue, regardless of whether or not May cares for or even knows much about Romney.
