Forget homosexuality--talking about sex, especially if you are a woman, is not something that proper girls do. It means that somehow, you are a slut. <br /><br />But on the topic of the article, you speak very truthfully. One of my friends came out as gay to his parents, and then very nearly went mad as they sent him to church to 'pray out the gay'. He became suicidal and extremely ill. In the Caribbean, it is dangerous to be gay. <br /><br />Discussion of gay people and gay rights is always tainted by them being "evil". When the popular singer Rihanna presented her song "Te Amo" about a girl who loved her, my country was shocked. My office and my hairdresser spent hours dissecting the song, and came to the conclusion that she should not bear our country's name and sing about "such nastiness". If I mention that my friends at college [in the States] are gay, my family says "Well, you could be friends, but sure as hell don't be gay yourself". <br /><br />It is not a particularly pleasant environment.<br /><br />As for the commenter who said "If i were gay in Bim i would be so far in the closet that i would be in Narnia"--I've never heard a truer description of how I feel. Hence the anonymous post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498961727602805543.post-29371502427201936732011-07-28T15:07:45.503-04:002011-07-28T15:07:45.503-04:00I really enjoy going to Tri-Mart since they re-ope...I really enjoy going to Tri-Mart since they re-opened now owned by Ansa Mcal.

I was kicking my off the bed, when i saw my TV shaking, I was like, what the hell going on, I don't live in a wooden home so how could my kicking affect the TV. I got up and realised the ground was moving,( at that time I was in a bra and panties) and I was like <i>"EARTHQAUKE!!!"</i> and ran outside in the road. <br /><br />However as soon as I got outside, I realised my state, Thank God my mom had sheets on the line, I dragged one of them off and wrapped it around my body. <br /><br />All the while, my dad was like,<i>"Why you outside ?" I was like "daddy you can feel we having an earthquake?"</i>, he then replied <i>" yes, but you not supposed to run outside, they say the best place to be is under a table or under a doorway..."</i><br /><br /><br />All in all for me, it was a very terrifying experience especially since that caving in in Brittons Road had recently happened like 3 months earlier, but thank God we were spared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498961727602805543.post-67887513802769606012011-02-13T17:31:24.199-04:002011-02-13T17:31:24.199-04:00Hello, very interesting!
Maybe you would explain...Hello, very interesting! <br /><br />Maybe you would explain me the think about Barbados, which I still dont understand. I am from Czech Republic. Two years ago I visited Barbados for vacation with my boyfrient. I was trully the most woderful and romantic holidays I've ever had. We stayed in St Lawrence, not far away south-east from Bridgetown. We were walking along the beaches holding hands, swimming in the sea together, sometimes kissing, also traveling along the island using public buses. Everywhere Barbadian people was very friendly, and we never felt that what we do is not accepted in Barbados. <br />Few days ago we came back from Jamaica. It was something absolutely differend. After two years from our holidays in Barbados we found out, that homosexuality is not legal in Barbados and according to the local law there is a death penatly for that. Why we didn't felt unaccpetance from any of local people? We were just lucky? Or Barbadians accept it among the tourists?<br />In Jamaica, where we were this year we felt much worse. We felt that we provoke people just by walking along the beach together, even if we did not do anything else (we knew already, that is forbidden in Jamaica also - accoridng to local law is 10 years of prison).<br />We were really supprised, especially because of Barbados. What do you think about it?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />MikeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006903259793874878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498961727602805543.post-73671066111337892322010-11-27T12:06:55.081-04:002010-11-27T12:06:55.081-04:00Mr.Pat Hoyos is your brother not Tony Hoyos from h...Mr.Pat Hoyos is your brother not Tony Hoyos from hardwood housing controversy ?Might you be biased? <br />Best you stay out of politics since it would be a given that you would ( sway one way over the other !
