Leaders of the Metropolitan Community Church led a demonstration at the Jamaican consulate in Miami Feb. 14 to protest a series of anti-gay murders and gay-bashing incidents in the island nation. The church also sponsored protests at consulates in New York, Toronto and Philadelphia.

Rev. Nancy Wilson, MCC’s leader, and a contingent of religious leaders from the MCC’s Sunshine Cathedral in Fort Lauderdale met with Jamaican Consulate General Richard Allicock and three top staff members for more than an hour in the consulate’s office in downtown Miami.

“We were encouraged,” Wilson told a group of about 25 protesters who came to Miami for the protest from Sarasota, Boynton Beach and Fort Lauderdale. “We had a frank honest discussion. We’re engaged in a long-term discussion and were not going to stop until gays and lesbians are protected in Jamaica.”

Wilson said the MCC is “on the verge” of calling for a global boycott of Jamaica. She said she is waiting to see how the government responds to the church’s demands: namely that the government launch an educational campaign to decry anti-gay violence in Jamaica, and that the Jamaican police begin sensitivity training regarding the GLBT community.

How many more murders is enough? Add their scumbag allies the Cayman Islands to that boycott list please. This is important to cruise line customers that they reject western Caribbean stops in these hellholes.

Why wait? Beat the rush Boycott Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands
