The Editor, Sir:

I have no problem with what persons want to do in their own privacy. So, if men or women want to be together intimately, that's their prerogative as long as they keep it within their own private dwellings. What I have a problem with is gays demanding the right to walk in public holding hands and kissing in public.

I am against gays wanting to come to Jamaica for holidays, going to our beaches, where I will take my children, and acting intimately on our beaches openly for our children to see. Because the bottom line is ... that's what they want. They want to live an open gay life. We are a Christian country, we were brought up by the guidance, rules and laws of the Bible. In the Bible homosexuality is wrong!

We are Jamaicans, we are Christians ... we may be killing each other, but it has been so from the beginning of life as we know it. Stop forcing Jamaicans into homosexuality, we are already murderers.

I am, etc.,
