[CUFS_Current English 1_Essay] Same-Sex Marriage

I'd like to introduce fellows to the fact that I assume people rarely know about, instead of writing my opinion on the topic.

I recently came across an old article about the British consul killed in Jamaica, who once revealed himself as gay in the country and had worked as a diplomat in Montego Bay, the northern part of the island. He was found strangled in a bed, which was suspected to be the homophobic crime. I was really surprised to read this news because of my usual perception about the country - beautiful nature, sunshine and reggae music that mostly talk about peace and love. Being curious, I got to search on what gay rights in Jamaica are like. My wiki search has it that Jamaica is notorious for its homophobia especially for men couples. And the country strictly punishes people having a relationship between same sexes. But it is particularly odd that the rule does not apply to lesbians.

The links are as follow for those who'd like to know more about homophobia in Jamaica.
