Isn’t puerto rico very very Catholic, as is Jamaica?

When is the church going to be put on trial as an accessory to Jorge’s murder.

And in Jamaica, the son of one of their ambassadors was gay. He had his penis cut off, and was murdered. I don’t know which year this happened, but I was told about it by a Jamaican who lives in the USA

All in the name of Jesus of course. The church’s meally mouthed words to the ignorant homophobes are what causes these murders, and they damned well know exactly what they are doing.

No one is above the law, and that includes the churches.

I have to say that I am amazed at how the parents of those in our community who have been most victimized have come forward. Mrs. Shepherd and now Mrs. Mercado. To take what must be one of the most painful moments in their life and deal with it so openly when there must be such overwhelming pain there is phenomenal. I only hope the day comes when there are no more martyrs in our community.
