TransGriot Note: This one is dedicated to all my Jamaican brothers and sisters who are fighting to survive murderous anti-GLBT hatred there
An MKR poem
Batty boys
Antimen
Kill 'em haff dead for their wages of sin
Batty boys
Antimen
Hate speech hurled at us from Jamaican citizens
Batty boys
Antimen
Where's the 'One Love' for my GLBT friends?
Batty boys
Antimen
Jamaican GLBT peeps risking life and limb
Batty Boys
Antimen
Killed 'cause who you love is different from them
Batty boys
Antimen
Transpeeps beat down for being too feminine
Batty boys
Antimen
Don't want us on your island? You can have it, then
Batty boys
Antimen
Not visiting 'till all Jamaicans are respected citizens

Hi Monica,
Staceyann Chin talks about her experience growing in Jamaica. It's really bad over there.
I just can't fathom that a country can be so backward. Then again maybe I can.
I can surely understand why Terry McMillan’s ex-husband was so afraid to be himself until after years of living here.
Ms. Deux,
it's the kind of climate for GLBT people our Reichers would love to replicate here in the States.
We ain't having it.
But in the meantime somebody has to speak up for our Jamaican brothers and sisters.
