Gay bars Queens tend to be outsi the gipster strongholds of Astoria and Long Island Cy (those gays are close enough to Manhattan that they're willg to mute for nightlife).

THE 30 BT GAY BARS NYC

Is jamai as homophobic and as vlent as i have read towards gays? Re: gay jamai. Most Christians believe that homosexualy is a s and stat so clearly the bible.

As relat to vlence agast gays this is blown way way way out of proportn the ternatnal media. They make people to believe that there are gangs of people gog around and killg gays-absolutely ridiculo. There are many open gays on the island and they have not been physilly abed any way.

There are proment gays bs, at the Universy etc. Wh regards to the entertaers they are not ercg persons to attack gays physilly but rather to nmn their actns. You probably wont fd men holdg hands and walk down a Kgston street but if people knew or spected that you are gay I n assure you that you will not be harmed.

GAY JAMAI - KGSTON FOM

It is a wily held view that jamains more than any other wt dian muny are more vlent towards other muni such as gays. Which i ssuprisg nsirg how many gay jamains i have met outsi jamai!! The tourist who is gay is gog to experience ls problems than one who liv Jamai.

Gays are not accepted bee many value Christian prcipl and the word of the bible but you do see homosexuals. Aga, let's be reful about the characterizatn of Christians and what the Bible says regardg homosexualy.

The Bible do nmn homosexual acts, but also says that we should not nmn the sner (i. The Bible don't nmn homosexuals, rather nmns homosexual relatns). That is why you may hear about homosexuals who travel together, and who are obvly a uple, havg issu.

GAY AND GAY-IENDLY HOTELS JAMAI

However, i will say that, when i went to grand lido negril on one ocsn wh my bt iend (we are both male and neher of is gay), they gave a room wh the beds nnected to make one "kg" bed, whout even askg.

I also have seen many obvly gay upl at grand lido and other superclubs properti (only at the adults only rorts, of urse). You n image that many adults, while they themselv would be ok wh havg a gay uple at the rort where they are stayg, would not be so fortable wh if they have young kids wh them.

" let's be reful about the characterizatn of Christians and what the Bible says regardg homosexualy. Personally I don't thk homosexualy is any worse than beg a thief or whe llar crimal.
