Jamaica is known as the most homophobic place on earth, but that might soon begin to change, much to the excitement of LGBTQ advocates and queer Jamaicans who hope the Caribbean country will truly become one love.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has found the Jamaican government responsible for violating multiple rights of a gay man and a lesbian, and urged an immediate repeal of the country s homophobic laws. The decision was reached last September but only made public February 17, according to a news release from the Human Dignity Trust, which brought the case.
IACHR s recommendations are nonbinding, but a Jamaican supreme court decision in a forthcoming case seeking to decriminalize homosexuality will be binding.
