Hi Monica,
ReplyDeleteStaceyann 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,
ReplyDeleteit'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.
