Gay campaign must be spurned

THE EDITOR, Sir:
Homophobia is not as prevalent in Jamaica as G. George Wilson claimed in his letter to the editor, 'Homophobia a big problem', published Tuesday, May 24. In fact, it is rare.
The homosexual lobby often confuses homophobia (a medical term) with moral certitude in an attempt to paint religious people who reject homosexual activity (not the person) as having some kind of abnormal disorder. Dr Wilson should know better.
Jamaica is a predominantly Christian country that does not accept the evil of homosexuality, and for good reason: there is no gay gene or gay centre in the brain. If Jamaica "is out of step with other countries" in this regard, that is a good thing. Jamaicans do not want to accept any ideology that advances perverted sex acts under the false banner of "equality and justice". Good health counselling is aimed at curing homosexuals of their abnormal tendencies, not providing false reason to justify their behaviour.
Wherever homophobia does actually exist, it is only because certain homosexuals cannot keep their disordered tendencies to themselves. Should they do so, they would have no problem or fear of living in such a heavenly haven as Jamaica.
