We deserve respect and to be treated on equal terms – Gay DSC student calls for change

Editor’s note: Below is a letter submitted by a gay 18-year-old economics major at the Dominica State College calling for tolerance towards gays in Dominica.

It is time for change. It is obvious that the majority of Dominican populists are in condemnation of “Homosexuality”.

Despite this main view, homosexuality is growing at an unprecedented rate, and we should come to the realization that they do live among us some closer than you think,in your families, your wife, your husband and even your kids.

Now one might wonder, how can this person be gay? She’s not a tomboy, he’s not effeminate! But a person’s behavior has nothing whatsoever to do with a person’s sexual preference. We are ordinary persons just like our heterosexual counterparts, it is true that some of us are a little more flamboyant than the rest, but then again everyone has the right to expression especially where individuality is concerned.

We play integral roles both in the public and private sectors, we may be the scholars who excel at local educational institution, we may be the ones who keep the business afloat, we may be the ones who care for you at the hospitals, we may be the ones who represent you in court.

We believe that the time has come, for society at large to be sensitive and concerned about our feelings, more so with regards to the high levels of discrimination and violent crimes being perpetuated towards members of our kind.

The views of key individuals, such as a lead director of the world health organization, former minister of health,  government productivity consultant Parry Bellot and more recently Sir Brian Allen have confirmed that the anti buggery laws is something we need to abolish.

The discrimination factor is becoming prevalent, gays are denied jobs, vital social services such as police assistance, gay teens fear being tested for HIV out of being the laughing stock of there peers, family, and friends, being treated as social outcast and more shockingly losing their lives.

We deserve respect and to be treated on equal terms. Government officials should seriously look into repealing the anti buggery laws in the constitution so as to provide to us our human rights and privileges. In this change we intend to foster positive relations, and work collaboratively towards driving the economy, we look towards remaining on the island to make our contribution to its development and also helping reduce the instances of the HIV virus.

You may not necessarily agree with our sexual orientation, but the time has come for change.

    I understand that hatred is a powerful gel that binds unhappy people. Instead of focusing all that negative energy on gays and lesbians, whose lives really have no impact on yours, why not use it to remove all the obstacles that are preventing you from being happy and improving your own lives?
    Energy is finite and should be rationed wisely. Homophobia is just another excuse for not looking in the mirror, versus micromanaging other peoples’ lives.
    You will never feel that you matter by diminishing others, regardless of your hateful justifications biblical or otherwise. Eat peace, drink love, breath serenity.
    Lift others up and you too will rise.

    I find it amazing how many of you people would be willing to watch gay people just suffer. You claim to be people of God, yet support the deaths and suffering of other human beings that have done absolutely NOTHING to you.

    Tell me, what have homosexuals done to you that you FEAR THEM so?

    Humanist you are way too late even with your extended articles and your aldulterated websterized encyclopaediatic grammatical explanations. CHRIST showed up way before you did and I just happen to believe him. I have never gone wrong or suffered for following his principles. I only get in trouble when I deviate from biblical principles and get on the other side of spiritual guidelines.

    • Humanist
      September 29, 2011

      Buddha showed up before Christ, as did Confucius, Abraham, all the great Greek philosophers, Homer, Virgil, Seneca, the great Indian philosophers, etc.–need I go on?

      Moreover, I agree with you on following many of Jesus’ moral teachings. Where we differ is that I view Jesus as a moral teacher (not a perfect one, either) only. The rest of the supernatural stuff–I don’t have anything to do with that. Thomas Jefferson once annotated a bible to remove all references to supernatural events; I think it a less-interesting but “truer” bible, and one that is certainly worth reading.

      You can believe in Jesus’ ethics; that doesn’t mean any of the supernatural stuff is true.

        The Bible said in John 1: 1-18 that Jesus was in the Beginning. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God….And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”

        Your statement of Buddha, Homer, Confucius, Abraham and others showing before Jesus is wrong. Who do you think God was speaking to in Genesis 1:26 when he said, “Let us make amn inour image, after our likeness.” He was speaking to Jesus, and the Holy Spirt (God the son, and God the Holy Spirit). So how can these man be there before Him when He was there in the beginning creating man?

    This was borderline painful to read… within the confines of this “letter” that is riddled with bad grammar, syntax and other misdemeanours of the english language lies a very confused soul. While you cry out for acceptance and splutter that we are all the same, you take the time to mention that we should accept “your kind”. If you are going to put yourself in the line of fire, at the mercy of the firing squad of society, at least do it properly!

    On another note, keep in mind that while you seek to “help” with the HIV/AIDS problem, statistically speaking, men have a higher infection rate in Dominica than women. This is in direct contrast to the rest of the world. Ergo, “Homosexuality is growing at an unprecedented rate” is a moot point: it is already here but has hid fairly well over the years. Testing is also a moot point: many people fear taking HIV/AIDS tests, homosexual or otherwise.

    Now, answer me this: what good exactly will removing the anti buggery laws do? Perhaps abolition will crate magic and decades of anti homosexuality behaviour and feelings and plain old homophobia will surely disappear? “The time has come for change”, you say. Fair enough, but how do you propose this change be made? Follow through with the movement BEFORE trying to abolish the laws. The cart never comes before the horse!

    If I may give a word of advice to this Economics Major of the Dominica State College: pick and fight your battles more wisely than this. This letter sounds like the ramblings of a desperate being ready to jump out of the closet – nude, exposed and hoping against hope to avoid the volley of stones that is surely already halfway on its journey, ready to strike dead the first person that dares to emerge from the barred doors of homosexuality. Be intelligent about an issue if you wish to champion it. Idiots rarely win wars.

      Wait–I’M the one presenting a black-and-white argument? After trudging through literally over a hundred comments that contain arguments no more complex than “the bible says it, so it’s right, no question,” I am disappointed and surprised that you can possibly think it is I who have presented a simplistic view. Then again, you are “forgiving” me for who knows what, so perhaps the answer to this mystery is locked within your enigmatic statements.

      As for the parachute–no, I most likely would not. What does that have to do with anything? My example was about me using it myself.

    so we are nothing but intelligent apes…..so why the hell so you care about incest……….and I’m talking about an open relationship … no secret…father and daughter walking hands in hands for the world to see…
    oh and all relationship have problems…so stop giving reasons why some should not happen or exist……

    there are fathers and daughters who have very good relationship…maybe that’s why a daughter would fall in love with her father

    …homosexuals have relationships problems too you know…. they change partners at a much faster rate than conventional couples

    anyways man i give up…we are apes so we should do as we please …do what makes us happy…as long as we don’t intentionally cause harm to others

    peace man….

    • Humanist
      September 29, 2011

      Humans are homo sapiens–a species of primate (ape). How is my saying that we are intelligent apes a nihilistic statement? You act as though I just degraded humans, when I have merely stated what we are. Nonetheless, it is true that for those who deny that humans are animals, acknowledging what we are may be a deflating experience, but it is the right thing to experience, since denying our status as animals is silly.

      And my basic point, I suppose, is what you said at the end–i.e., that as long as we don’t intentionally cause harm to others (and, I would add, do our best to help others increase their well-being in a way that hopefully does not cause damage to others), we are living pretty decent lives, aren’t we? You can believe in religions, you can believe in nothing, you can be in-between–the fact is that no one knows the answer to the grand question of where we came from or why. The evidence is not in religion’s favor, though, and this is why science and religion have been clashing so much in recent times–science is based on testable experiments and observations and the creation of laws and facts, while religion is based on the exact opposite: belief without evidence. But even astronomers and cosmologists cannot say with certainty where we came from or how (as yet, though, of course, much great work is being done in this area as we speak), and with this being the case, I just cannot understand why religious people so often act so arrogantly as to assume that their beliefs, which have nothing to support them, are right, and that everyone who disagrees is evil or some kind of enemy.

      But religious people and unbelievers and agnostics and Deists can coexist, and they do coexist in countries less uptight than here. Whenever I am in the USA, I am so pleased with the unspoken tolerance (or, at least, indifference) I experience, since I have good friends who are Christian, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist, and Deist. We do not talk about religion much; when we do, we joke with each other or at least show each other respect, and so we coexist with no difficulty.

      Too often, it is the opposite in Dominica.

      A man who is gay or a woman who is a lesbian–why should these cause so much argument? Why can’t we just all acknowledge that no one knows the answer to life’s great questions, and therefore not make absolute pronouncements upon others as though we have gone to an afterlife and back? I may not believe in the supernatural; but if I found evidence for it, I would change my views. I am not “against” religion; I am simply “for” evidence and the accumulation of knowledge. And since no one here can prove that homosexuality is bad, why the big tra-la-la over it? I know gay people from my travels, and they are just like you and me. Sure, some are flamboyant; but so are some straight people. Why all the noise?

      I am making arguments based on reason and facts; the religious here are simply saying what they believe. At least be humble enough to admit that you do not know if what you say is true and that, furthermore, there is no evidence to support it. It is no different from believing in invisible pink unicorns–against all evidence to the contrary.

      I am tired of arguing the same things over and over. I hope at least one person will be persuaded to understand that you have no basis for arrogance in this debate, and that at the end of the day, we are all ultimately as in the dark as anyone else, so pretending your beliefs are absolute facts is arrogant and unhelpful. We need calm, reasonable discussions, not people typing in caps lock and screaming out bible verses.

        @Woodford Hill – How can I be a Satanist? I don’t believe in Satan or devils. You’re just throwing around words without knowing what they mean.

        As for arrogance, I was referring to people (like yourself just now) who make claims with no real-world evidence to back them up and then get angry when others disagree with them. I, on the other hand, support what there is evidence for. That is not arrogance; I admitted more than once that no one knows everything, a statement that should lead you to realize that you do not know all there is to know, either, though you seem to think the bible is that.

    A man should not be intimidated by a homosexual. By that I mean, those people who set out to preach “fire and brimstone,” the beating and harassing of homosexuals and lesbians, in most cases are people that fear for a dormant personality that might come forth from themselves. If you are sure about your manhood or womanhood, then you should have no fear of socializing or befriending a person with different sexual preferences than you. The very fear is a confession that if you were to socialize with a homosexual or lesbian you’re afraid you might become a homosexual or a lesbian.

    omg omg omg…..thank you for your response humanist….you are contradicting you own self while at the same time confusing me…..

    you have established that sex with whoever or whatever is OK as long as both parties agree and protect themselves…

    but you are saying that if it’s consensual incest then they should seek help….just as i say you are PREJUDICE…

    you are saying it’s people business who they have sex with…but you have no problems with the law making consensual incest illegal in certain countries…..again PREJUDICE

    and for the love of God or humanity in your case why is consensual incest off the topic?…..those individuals are either gay as in a mother having a sexual relationship with her daughter or straight.. having a relationship sexual with her son ……that’s where I’m confused….

    it is simply because you have a problem with it….well too bad my brother you accept one you should accept the other

    • Humanist
      September 29, 2011

      Huh? When did I say that sex with anyone is okay? I specifically said that pedophilia is never acceptable. As for the rest of it–yes, it’s risky, but if they consent, what of it? We don’t like the idea of incest as you presented it, and it is biologically a bad idea but that doesn’t make it ethically wrong if the parties are of age and consent with full awareness of what they are doing. If I leap out of a plane with a parachute I know to be possibly faulty, well-aware of the risks, am I committing an ethical crime? I am endangering myself, but I am well-aware of my likely foolish act, so just let me do what I do. The same idea of the parachute applies with our examples.

      And how can you not think incest between parent and child is off-topic here? Even if we come to an agreement, it does not mean we have agreed on the DSC student’s letter.

    • Humanist
      September 29, 2011

      Furthermore, tiny, I said that a parent engaging in consensual intercourse with offspring of a legal age should seek help because such a relationship is frowned-upon, if not illegal, in most countries, and in a country in which it is legal does not mean that such a relationship is not potentially psychologically damaging. The fact is that even if I do not think a consensual relationship between such adults is unethical in theory, there is a good chance it will cause problems–i.e., an imbalance of power between parent and child, feeling like one must keep this relationship secret, etc. These must be addressed, and if they can be addressed without a professional, all right, but they must be addressed, and I do not think most such couples can really engage in such a relationship without issues. The same thing, in a different sense, is true for the body suspension people I mentioned below.

      If you read my posts carefully, you will see that I am presenting my views on this carefully and thoughtfully (except for when I misread your post below). I do not think you are reading mine the same way–though you do admit to being confused, so that may be why.

      I myself still fail to see the relevance of this particular topic in an article on homosexuality. Incest is not the same. Nonetheless, I have presented my views, and I cannot see anything wrong with them. I challenge you to present concrete reasons why you disagree with me.

      Also, below you say that there must be rules and that rules must come from god. I do not see why either is true. What kind of rules? Laws and legal systems are drawn up by humans. The way we live is the product of biology, the environment (broadly speaking, the Earth), and our home environment/upbringing. We are free to choose what we do; some things hurt others and some help others. What other rules are you talking about? And why would a god care about a species of ape that has only been around for about 200,000 years, when the earth is 4.6 billion years old and the universe is at least 13.7 billion? THOSE facts alone make rubbish of the idea that we are special and have been given special “rules” to live by by some thing that cares about us for some bizarre reason.

        @moving – I strongly suspect that you, like most of the people on the site who do not actually type responses to me but chime in when others do, have no idea what either I or the person who responded to me has said. You simply feel angry because my view differs from yours and because you do not understand my reasoning, and when someone claims to have exposed a “mistake” or some such thing in my posts, you think to yourself, HA, THAT STUPID HUMANIST GETTIN’ IT NOW, DOH. Even though you do not understand what either tiny or I have written. This is a schoolyard mentality that suggests your emotions and perhaps even intelligence are scarcely beyond the level of a schoolchild’s, if they are even there–an impression reinforced by your all caps. I do not use all caps (except in rare cases to mock others who do, as in this post), and it would behoove you to avoid them as well, as they simply make you look foolish.

    We are so blind that we do not see.
    Homosexuality is a practice of extinction.
    If this is to be kept up for three generations we can well imagine the net effect.
    Bear in mind that homosexuality is effective contraception.
    We call ouselves christiians?
    Christians should never support such Antichrist practices but they do.
    How could we ever support the disinformation that persons are born hosexual. have we also lost our ability to think.
    If we are so naive that we are not able to comprehend that DESIGN determines FUNCTION.
    lET ME STATE THAT NO ONE IS BORN GAY PERSONS CHOOSE TO BE GAY.
    womb, vagina and Breasts are organs of the female gender, who were designed to conceive carry and feed the offsprings, the male design on the other hand is for the purpose of executing male functions, how then can we justify that persons are born homosexual?
    Should we accept pedophiles as natural or say that persons are born with the natural inclination to be attracted to animals?
    Homasexuality is a sickness which needs to be totally exterminated from the culture of civilized society.

      September 29, 2011

      I haven’t intentionally twisted anyone’s words. If I misread what you wrote, I apologize for the mistake.

      But anyway, to address the issues at hand: if everyone is of age, well, I would say it is then up to the family members and the law. Incest’s legality, for one, varies from country to country based on age.India does not appear to punish incest between consenting adults, for instance. In many countries, however, it is prohibited even between consenting adults. Frankly, if there is no rape or coercion involved, and the parties know the risks they are taking, they can do it. It is more dangerous, biologically, between father and daughter, as the daughter may become pregnant.

      You see, people do all kinds of things while aware of the dangers involved. If they do not hurt the parties involved (pedophilia is always wrong, as I have explained below) and are not the product of coercion (like rape), then let people do what they will, if they know the risks.

      There are people who hang themselves from hooks, for instance, because it gives them a rush. Is this safe? Not always, but if they can do it safely, let them do what they wish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(body_modification)

      You can’t make homosexuality wrong or right. There is no argument you can present. It’s just an orientation. If consenting adults engage in intercourse with the proper precautions and awareness of risks, let it be. You are not being hurt, and they will not be, either, if they do it safely. What matters, above all, is that we are decent, loving human beings, as I said below. If a parent and a child of consenting age are madly in love, I would suggest they seek psychiatric help, since this is a potential social danger (as well as biolgical in the case of father-daughter/mother-son relationships), but if they still want to do it, let them, as long as no one is hurt. I may not approve of it myself, but people do strange, different things, and if we don’t hurt others, well, let it be.

        Furthermore, we have gone off-topic. Now we are arguing parents having sex with children over the consenting age. What does this have to do with the letter the child from DSC wrote?

    My God what has become of some of us? By all means let’s make up our own rules to please ourselves. Let’s end civilization because we all wake up one day and decide we are gay. I thought our purpose was to procreate. Yessiii. We create our own Sodom and Gomorrah and then wonder why we having all these devastating natural disasters. We used to be so God-fearing. What on earth happened. Smh.

      How do human rights laws “end civilization?” How do allowing people who are already gay to be protected under the law cause heterosexuals to become infertile? Do you not see the illogic here?

      You sound like a child throwing a tantrum. Grow up–and let your mind, as well as your ability to present yourself like an adult, grow with you.

      “We used to be so God-fearing.” Yeah, we used to be in chains on plantations, too, which was when–omg!–Christianity was presented to us as a way to make slavery more bearable, even though it was also used as a way to justify that slavery in the first place–all because the bible is full of contradictions and can be used to support or attack almost anything if you try hard enough. (I.e., gays are bad, but love everyone, judge not, etc.). Unchain yourself and decolonize your mind.

    @done. You are soooo wayyyy off base. How does homosexuality and incest relate. There’s absolutely no relation and your argument and reasoning is extremely poor. The fact is we are all human beings and what 2 consenting adults do in their privacy is their business. To say it’s ok to discriminate against another human being because of his sexual orientation would be better likened to being discriminated against because of the colour of one’s skin. u might agree that it’s not proper to do that because you’d be discriminating against someone because of who they are. No one wakes up and out of the blue says ‘I think i’m gonna be gay today’

      being gay has never and will never be a sexual orientation. The whole topic of sexual orientation was created by siddistic men who tried to create some balance in the world we live in so that one day, being gay would be accepted worldwide. I’m not saying we must be violent to these individuals. But we MUST show them their wrong, and help to restore them to their natural order. These ppl are not born this way…they are groomed into this or opened to this by abuse and other factors. I have worked with some of these ppl…and i can tell you, they can be made free. This is a spirit that is spreading through the world… The Government would be CRAZY…to remove the laws concerning Gays!!! CRAZY

You see your son or daughter even before they a aware of themselves displaying gay tendencies and most times as parents you realise painfully that my son is gay….because of the way society has nade us think.
        Then you realise there is nothing wrong with yu child only that his sexual orientation is different from what we thought was normal and you love him/her just the same…or even more because now you realise yu have to protect them from a cruel and wicked society bent on making them unhappy.

    so a better argument would be.. as I’ve said before ……. since nothing is wrong with homosexuality…then what is wrong with a homosexual relationship between a father and a son who is of age…a mother and a daughter who is of age…two sisters or brothers who is of consenting age..an uncle and a nephew…and the list can go on and on…
    a man an his dog..a man and his cow…it is his cow that he paid for with his money, his property…some people kill cows for meat so why can’t he give his cow love …and why cant a women go to bed with 10 different men every night or the other way around…who makes the rules…it would be pretty unfair to tell these people that their lifestyle is wrong

      So pedophilia and sex between different species of animal are equivalent for you to homosexuality. I am not surprised but still disappointed to see such ignorance. No one should have sex with minors; the child cannot give consent because it cannot be considered mentally, physically, or legally fit to do so. It is the same with an animal (in that it also cannot give consent, though the animal can never give consent at all), with the additional issue here of involving a very different animal from a human. Having intercourse with a different animal is dangerous in ways that should be obvious to anyone, and if you really think this is no different from homosexuals of the same species having sex, then you are helplessly foolish.

    this is funny lol
    i guess the next step is to ask that we respect rapists too
    being gay is not “having anal sex” lol
    its a sexual preference in which case refers to the same sex. something very unnatural. since someone mentioned it…we r animals no doubt, but nature has allowed us to exist not because we are simply animals but because we r animals with an acute ability to procreate thus ensuring that the species survives. our role as human beings should not be aimed at promoting sexual preferences but ensuring that we survive as a species. what kind of world would it be if everyone was “gay” i guess the answer would be a world without humans, because human beings need to procreate to survive,,,in this case we need the opposite sex not the same one…..lol
    its not a matter of rights either. do i have to right to kill someone because i was born with the desire for death, blood etc…..should i rape because thats my sexual preference, should i kidnap ppl for the thrill of it because im born with a few lose screws.. i think “gay” represents a disorder that needs rectifying. they need treatment, rather than allow them to become the third “sex” (male, female. gay) they should be looked after and treated ,hopefully cured….like we do for someone who has any other disorder.

    where do we draw the line?

      September 28, 2011

      How is rape remotely comparable to a sexual orientation? Rape is forcing someone to have sex by using force. How can you equate it hetero- or homosexual orientations? That’s foolish beyond belief, and you should be ashamed of such a comparison.

      Moreover: how does the world magically turn all gay? You do realize that homosexuality isn’t a flu you catch, right? How can human rights activism make the world unable to procreate? This is illogical and once again shamefully poorly-thought-out.

      At any rate, the world wouldn’t be hurt if there were fewer people being born into it….

        clearly uve gone off on ur tangent lol
        a person who chooses to “behave” like the opposite sex is not at all wrong…but a person who engages in the act of same sex is very wrong.
        i will attempt to explain this as simply as i can
        a man who is “feminine” (vice versa) is still a creature designed for the opposite sex
        thats the fact
        the cosmetic surgery only changes the appearance,nothing else
        sex was not designed only to satisfy the selfish desires of those who r overwhellmed by how amazing it “feels”
        like any other living thing its purpose is to sustain the continuity and balance of life
        do we therefore ignore the reason for which something is designed?
        when two men/women have intercourse they r merely satifying their own desires for a “great feeling”- pleasure
        does society have to change for this reason
        we do not have to accept homosexuality simple because its not natural
        its an acquired “deficiency” one that should be treated like any other medical disorder

        I think the comparison was not rape and sexual orientation but the principal of choice and action based preferences. in all technicality, is a man who prefers having sex with other men any different than a man who prefers having sex with children? let us remove the question of consent and make the child 16 (the legal age of consent in Dominica and a lot of other places in the world). Would you not condemn the man who goes after the legally consenting 16 year old girl with the argument that it is unnatural and unreasonable to do something like that? and straight to jail or rehab he goes. now logically, explain to me how homosexual actions can be considered normal as compared to… what?

    Like many of those before me, I will reiterate; Homosexuality is wrong. Where does my basis come from? The Bible. Look throughout the Bible and show me where this was said to be right.

    The Bible, God’s Word, condemns sin (Romans 8, James 1, John 2) of which homosexuality is a part. As a matter of fact, it is called an abomination (Leviticus 1:22); a vile, shameful, or detestable action, condition, habit, etc.

    If you don’t believe in the Jesus Christ and His word, then you are free to do as you please, but I warn you that you will be condemning yourself by doing this. The Bible says that each will give an account for himself (Romans 14:12), and we will all face the judgement seat on our own. What will we say then? That we felt like it, that’s why we didn’t do as we should? I think not.

    We are not perfect, after all, we were born and bred in sin. But we know and understand, and thus, we need to make a choice; Shall we continue in sin or make up our minds to serve Jesus Christ?

    This goes not just to homosexuals but to each and every one of us who have sinned. Repent and be converted, for the time of the Lord is at hand.

    Personally being bought up in a religious community and a christian home I don’t believe in homosexuality.. The bible clearly states that these people will go to hell… He did destroy a nation for such. However it is not my business to tell two consenting adults that they cannot sleep with each other. God gave us all the choice to make decisions, so even if its wrong he gave us the choice and will punish when the end comes.. I think the law should be abolished at least it will stop all these people who on the downlow, taking mates because thats what society wants. It will help stem the increase of STD’s as there will be no going in between partners. Sleep with who you want. I however draw the line at marriage as that is is union between a man and a woman.

    Leaving aside all other comments for a moment, I have to ask: would this article be anywhere near as popular with commenters if it was about lesbians, not gay men? It seems like most people here are against one half of the gay population and completely ignore the other half.

    I also would like to ask at what point we chose to be straight, since the argument against gays a lot of people make is basically that they think it’s a choice. If one chooses to be gay, the implication is that one also chooses to be straight. If your argument is that all are straight but some choose to be gay, I ask that you not only prove that but then also tell me why some are not born straight and some gay and some bisexual, some asexual (basically, in all different areas of the sexuality spectrum).

    Our economic state in this country is third-world, but our maturity and education level can be so much more. God preached LOVE more than anything else in his word, so let us preach love and let God convict the gay population if he so desires. When we judge or sadly harm a straight or gay person, we are in a sinful state, so respect all men and women no matter who they desire to sleep with, for it does not affect your life.
    This country needs to make steps to a better future, because look around us, what are the things that need your help, fix that, because you cannot change someone’s sexuality. Do some research you all, being gay is not a choice, but being ignorant is….

    Oh the gay guys aren’t hurting anyone, and what they get up to in privacy between consenting adults is their own business.

    What I find sad is that there is more outrage on the pages of DNO every time homosexuality rears its head than there is by reports of child molestation. Last year I heard about a 12 year old girl having her fathers baby, saw countless reports of crime against under age girls, and not one gets as much attention as this act between adult men who, genetically, cannot help the way they feel.

    I am told no one in the village will buy beef when the cow is female because it may have been “messed with” – now personally, I find THAT repulsive.

    How come this island is more accepting of pedophilia than homosexuality?

    • tiny

      shut your stupid mowt…..believe me most people who read about child molestation want to kill that son of a gun….. but this is different
      no one says that gays are criminals…they are not harming anyone else…they want others to accept their dirty lifestyle and people are just expressing their views…can’t you see the difference as to why this article would provoke more discussion….i don’t even want would to read an article that talks about child molestation ..that’s how much it is upsetting

    • yes i
      September 28, 2011

      what two consenting adults – a mother and son or a father and a daughter do in their home is their business too – so are we going to agree to ‘incest rights’ next – don’t bring that nasty talk here.

      • Humanist
        September 28, 2011

        Incest is a bit different, since it entails biological risks. If you have intercourse with people with genetic material different from yours–i.e., first or second cousins–you run the risk of creating children who are at greater risk of a variety of disorders, which is the cause for some of the physical deformities you may notice in some old portraits of royal families that intermarried often. But this risk largely vanishes from second cousins onward, so there is little to no biological reason to avoid marrying a more distant relative. As it is, in a small area, many of us may be more closely related than we might suspect.

        But incest is a special category very different from homosexuality, and so it is not a reasonable argument to bring in. The same goes with pedophilia, which is all about the fact that children cannot be allowed to consent due to the fact that they are not likely physically or mentally fit to understand or handle sexual intercourse. Homosexual and heterosexual intercourse should only be permissible between consenting adults.

      • yes i
        September 28, 2011

        @humanist

        Nonsense – the argument for allowing homosexuality is – WHAT 2 CONSENTING ADULTS DO IN THEIR OWN HOME IS THEIR BUSINESS – The same should be true for all other things. Whether it has biological risks is a non-issue – if you allow one – allow all.
        And while we are at it – allow pedophilia, legalize marijuana. Legalize violence if it is between two consenting adults. DA (and u in it)

      • Humanist
        September 28, 2011

        @ yes i – Are you illiterate, man? I just explained why pedophilia cannot be allowed, and you go and say to legalize it. Moreover, why would anyone legalize abuse? Homosexual intercourse is just intercourse. It’s not connected to violence, sex with children, drugs, etc. How can you possibly equate it with that wild list of items?

        September 29, 2011

        All right, first off, there is no reason to watch “me,” since I have said numerous times before and will say again that I am not myself gay. This, in fact, is partly why I post so often on these articles, since I believe in human rights for fellow human beings–not because the article has anything to do with my own sexual orientation.

        Furthermore, you have ignored my points and jumped back into referring to homosexuality as an “abomination.” Clearly, you just believe this because the bible told you so. You have no other argument, do you? And “the bible says it” is no argument that can hold up in any court of reason. The bible says many barbaric things, few of which I believe you practice or even know about. The bible is filled with barbaric laws, which you blissfully ignore because you were told that it contains the truth, and you have likely never once truly questioned why you believe what you do. If you learn more, you will come to see that the bible is simply a product of history and society, like any other “holy” book, and it is no more likely to be true than the alien myths of Scientology (another religion) or the Caribs’ religions or voodoo or the legends of the Greek gods.

        Here is a short clip, under 2 minutes, of famed biologist Richard Dawkins on the relatavism of religious beliefs. Take a moment to think, like a sensible person, of the implications of what he presents:

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mmskXXetcg&feature=related

        Do not come back to me with words like “abomination” and such nonsense. They are meaningless to me in the context that you use them. Find an argument that works for all of us if you must, not an argument based solely on the mythology you happen to believe in, which is only because the colonists were Christian and turned your ancestors into Christians.

        Anyone fighting for gay right – is in it themself – stop pretending and be a man about it.

        And like I said before: let’s just legalize every sordid thing on this earth… no laws … freedom … let all the people in the prisons go. It’s their ‘rights’ to do anything they please.

    A thief should stop stealing. A murderer should stop murdering. A liar should stop lying. A cheater should stop cheating. An adulter should get out of the other man’s bed and go back to his own. None of the above are acceptable to God or man. Homosexuality fall right into the category of SIN and therefore should not be acceptable. Should we also be tolerant of liars, thieves, murderers, backbiters, adulterers, etc? We have no right to hate them or beat on them but we need to let them know that their acts are detestable and they can change. God made you a perfect MAN..he never made a mistake.

    I left Dominica over 10 years ago and I was saddened by the fact they were so small minded and ignorant. And it’s a shame that today, things remain the same. That is why I believe it will never prosper as a country and as a unit. In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with whatever sexuality an individual becomes whether they are born this way or by decision. I think all of you people who are quick to condemn and judge should take your very own advice as “Jesus’ followers” and embrace everybody for who they are. Get a grip Dominica; there are so many things out there that are 1000% worse than what you all make homosexuality to be.

    its is quite true what that personn wrote about…n whether we like to accept it or not..homosexuality is a reality…n whereas a lot of us on here may be judgmental and speak of the bible…isnt in the same bible we reas that we must not judge lest ye be judged…dont get me wrong i am by know means accepting the life they choose to leave but i am tolerant..4 i first have to view them as human beings created in d likeness n image of God…i dont care what they choose to do in d privacy of their bedrooms and who they do it with..what i care about is the respect i afford every human being wether homosexual or not…let the judging be 4them n God at judgment not 4me to do..or any1 else 4that matter…

      well i dont know if you made a mistake but you are wrong, thats not the LIKENESS and neither IMAGE of the almighty.. Also,no body cares what people do in privacy..but when they decide to make their nastiness open and want people to be accepting of it is where the problem lies, because on the long run its our children we are allowing to be confused and infected with this disease.. This sin against God wasnt forgiven by him but the entire land of SODOM and GOMORRAH was literally distroyed.

    so if gay persons think it is a right why did GOD make a woman and not a man for Adam? prostitution , homosexuality lesbianism ect these are an abomination so what about it is right that persons should be fighting to put laws in place to support it? it is not a human right it is a choice some humans make.one day they will answer. the anus is an exit not an entrance so why women don’t give birth through their anus?

    I just vex about that nonesense i reading there.

    You know why those homosexual ppl want their nastiness legal.
    It’s because of the way society has become.
    Divorce, Fornication, Adultery etc… All those things are wrong. We know about it from the bible. The very same bible that tells us Homosexuality is wrong.
    So they figure out… this society is lawless, if it’s ok to divorce or for ppl to live together unmarried and for husbands to have more than one woman why not let the homosexuals have rights.

    Don’t get me wrong.. I’m totally against these things.

    So, basically, since you can’t prove that anything in the bible is true (you “have faith” that it is, but you cannot prove that it is, otherwise it would not require “faith”), you really have no concrete argument against homosexuals? You’re basically saying “I believe it is wrong, but I have no proof of this, so too bad for you.”

    What a crappy way to build a system of morality, especially when that same bible allows for genocide, rape, asks a man to murder his own son as proof of his devotion, calls for the stoning-to-death of humans and other animals, etc. Just because Jesus has some good teachings does not make the bible as a whole either true or morally sound. You are ignoring the wealth of terrible verses in there. And don’t say I am “misinterpreting” those bad verses. If that’s the case, who is to say you are not misinterepreting that infamous verse about sodomy?

    Come on: why is it that other parts of the world can exist just fine by not caring about others’ sexual orientations and we have to be so uptight about it? Are those other nations being struck by lightning bolts or exploding? Of course not. Because that stuff doesn’t matter. As long as we are decent, loving human beings, who you are biologically predisposed to be attracted to is irrelevant.

        It is a difficult question, I admit. But I just cannot accept that everything in holy books is ethical. I believe most in the Golden Rule–Do unto others as you would have them do unto you–a rule that existed before Judaism and Christianity and that I imagine almost anyone can naturally come to on their own.

        The Mormons have long (and some still do) viewed black people as a “cursed” race of lesser humans. They would view us in a light not that different from how you view homosexuals. Are they wrong? How do you know you are right? Are Muslims right to execute people who leave the faith?

        Religion too often asks that we do and believe barbaric things without questioning anything. This is absurd. We cannot simply sit down and let human beings suffer in the name of ancient books–all because we “believe” in what they say with no evidence to support our beliefs. You may not like gay men having sex, and I do not wish to partake in it either because I am not gay, but what gay men or women do with each other is of no concern to me, as long as they are consenting adults. Live and let decent people live.

    The difference between us and animal is our intellect and our choice.

    Sometimes when your prefernces are against the tenet of Holy Grounds, there are some given the task to assist you to make a better choice, and healthier choise, a godly choice that we all can see the face of the Creatorin due time.

    Its outrageos that these type of people are trying to force right thinking,God fearing people to be ‘sensitive’ to their nastiness.. Bourgary is a disease that when one thinks he is infected with it, he should keep silent and seek help in overcoming this carnal nature cause its clear he cant control and direct his natural desires of wanting the opposite sex.
