Wars without end, meant to destroy their enemy defined by whatever religious scripture each warring, righteous group of flesh and blood humans deem to be the word of their one and only God, never are satisfied to be judge, jury, and executioner of only soldiers. They leave widows and children to suffer the unholy consequences. Then man rules on their own brothers and sisters if they dare break their holy laws against homosexuality.
While forward strides toward acceptance and scientific biological knowledge of the natural variances of sexuality have moved many countries to provide freedom and equality for differences in sexual orientation of its population; many countries still torture, abuse, and imprison their citizens who were not born heterosexual.
In Saudi Arabia homosexual acts are illegal and 7,000 lashes were ordered, along with imprisonment of two men in Oct., 2007.
The following locations declare homosexuality to be illegal:
China, not a role model for human rights, is attempting to “clean-up” for the upcoming Olympics by increasing police raids on gay gatherings. Africa, Algeria, Libya, Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco.Asia India, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Pakistan. Middle East Iran, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Israel, Oman.Americas Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Jamaica, Bermuda.Australasia Australia (3 states - Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia).Europe Eire, Liechtenstein, Romania, and Russia.
In Egypt five men were sentenced April 9, 2008 to three years in prison for consensual homosexual acts. The men were part of a crackdown on people infected with AIDS. All the men had been tortured to “extract confessions,” according to an attorney with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
For every disregard of human dignity and freedom that a government imposes upon a person, there are hundreds more that human rights organizations will never hear about. Such abuses thrive on the fear of exposure and emotional pain inflicted on the families of those who are treated like creatures instead of humankind.
The courage of those who report and confront such cruel and inhumane behavior can not be rewarded enough. They put their own lives at risk to shine the light of compassion and dignity upon the many atrocities on this planet. Each of us can not discover or right all of these wrongs; but we can all do something. We can refuse to be silent. The cacophony of anger and repudiation of the brutal mistreatment of homosexuals must fill the current quiescent moments of our lives.
“Two of them cried, screamed and shrieked. The others remained silent, but I saw anger in their eyes for the injustice they have been exposed to.” Said Adel Ramadan, a lawyer with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.

Such anger I have seen often in the eyes of homosexuals in the United States of America. While we hear of beatings and attacks on homosexuals in the states, they happen so often that many go unreported or unnoticed in the news media. IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia) day will be held again this year on May 17th and it marks the anniversary of the day in 1990 when homosexuality was finally removed from the list of mental illnesses by the World Health Organization. 75 countries still consider it a crime. The penalty in some of those countries is death. “Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.”James Baldwin
While the United States has made improvements since the attack by police on innocent gay people at the Stonewall Inn in New York City almost 40 years ago; too many citizens feel it is their obligation to keep lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender people in their place---in hell. The fight for gay rights continues. The promise of the U.S. constitution to “…secure the Blessings of Liberty…” has yet to be fulfilled for our LGBT population.
Here is a recent quote from an American college student who has roots in Jamaica: “… another source of homophobia in Jamaica is the dance hall music. The lyrics in the songs are very sexual and basically state that men and women should be having sex, and if you're not having sex with a woman you're a batty bwoy (butt bwoy, butt pirate, sodomist, etc). One song that is always brought up in this discussion is "boom bye bye", because of its blatant homophobic lyrics, the chorus goes:
It's like Boom bye bye (sound of a shot gun blast) Inna batty bwoy head (in a gay man's head) Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man (real Jamaican gangsters don't promote gay men) Dem haffi dead (they have to die)” 5/12/08
It's like Boom bye bye (sound of a shot gun blast) Inna batty bwoy head (in a gay man's head) Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man (real Jamaican gangsters don't promote gay men) Dem haffi dead (they have to die)” 5/12/08
From a man afraid to give his name (Many Americans still must hide their true selves): “… the discrimination that gays in the black community face. The backbone of the African American community is the church, so if the church sends out an anti-gay message, then the parishioners will accept it as fact. Basically, when I was in elementary and middle school I was called "fruity, faggot, homo, etc" it wasn't that often, but it still wasn't right. Parents are taught that if you berate your kids about their sexuality, then they can somehow change. I love my church and my community so I'm not leaving my church. I was baptized in that church. I did plays in that church; I lived out my childhood in that church.” 5/12/08 This from a young man not yet 25.
“In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.”Simone de Beauvoir
“In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.”Simone de Beauvoir
Unless our lives are touched by the human rights that homosexuals are denied; it is easy to look the other way, easy to never say the word, easy to remain silent in our safe knowledge that we know of no one who is gay that we care about. My nephew was out one night getting beer at a 24 hour grocery, with his buddy. They were leaving through the parking lot when two men approached them, demanded their wallets with a homophobic slur thrown in. My nephew and his friend, on their way home to their girlfriends, stood down. Still one of the robbers were not satisfied with just the money and he punched my nephew’s best friend in the face, knocking him to the ground and with that blow killed him. There were several witnesses and the killer was captured shortly after. Why did he have to strike him? Seems just being assumed to be gay is reason enough.
Wherever you live, whoever you are, you are not free from discrimination against homosexuals until all the people of the world are free. Is your silence worth the life of an innocent man, woman or child? The greatest changes of mankind come not from the broken walls or chains; but, from the broken dams of silence. It is time for the waters of freedom to flow freely.

“Two of them cried, screamed and shrieked. The others remained silent, but I saw anger in their eyes for the injustice they have been exposed to.” Said Adel Ramadan, a lawyer with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
It's like Boom bye bye (sound of a shot gun blast) Inna batty bwoy head (in a gay man's head) Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man (real Jamaican gangsters don't promote gay men) Dem haffi dead (they have to die)” 5/12/08
“In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation.”Simone de Beauvoir
In Saudi Arabia homosexual acts are illegal and 7,000 lashes were ordered, along with imprisonment of two men in Oct., 2007.
The following locations declare homosexuality to be illegal:
China, not a role model for human rights, is attempting to “clean-up” for the upcoming Olympics by increasing police raids on gay gatherings. Africa, Algeria, Libya, Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco.Asia India, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Pakistan. Middle East Iran, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Israel, Oman.Americas Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Jamaica, Bermuda.Australasia Australia (3 states - Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia).Europe Eire, Liechtenstein, Romania, and Russia.
In Egypt five men were sentenced April 9, 2008 to three years in prison for consensual homosexual acts. The men were part of a crackdown on people infected with AIDS. All the men had been tortured to “extract confessions,” according to an attorney with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
For every disregard of human dignity and freedom that a government imposes upon a person, there are hundreds more that human rights organizations will never hear about. Such abuses thrive on the fear of exposure and emotional pain inflicted on the families of those who are treated like creatures instead of humankind.
The courage of those who report and confront such cruel and inhumane behavior can not be rewarded enough. They put their own lives at risk to shine the light of compassion and dignity upon the many atrocities on this planet.
