80% of Jamaicans say buggery should remain a criminal offence – poll

8
RJR-Majority of Jamaicans believe buggery should remain a criminal offence.
This is according to the latest RJRGLEANER Don Anderson poll.
There have been calls in the past for Jamaica’s so-called “buggery law” to be repealed.
But Jamaicans continue to strongly oppose to this view.
Asked about the issue in the past, Prime Minister Andrew Holness said he believed Jamaica’s culture, people and even the church were evolving to have “multiple positions” on the issue.
He suggested that the country was “generally very liberal but more so very tolerant” and the state was focused on protecting the human rights of every citizen regardless of sexual orientation or inclination.
In the latest RJRGLEANER Don Anderson poll, conducted among a sample of more that 1,300 Jamaicans across all parishes, the respondents were asked whether buggery should no longer be a criminal offence.
Eighty per cent of them said buggery should remain a criminal offence.
Another 12 per cent agreed that buggery should no longer be a criminal offence, while eight per cent said they were not sure.
The poll was conducted from July 16 to 26.
The margin of error is plus or minus three per cent.

    • Rastafari has not won anything! People need to be arrested and convicted of violating the law. I have heard persons including rastas are kicking back doors of women in and this is also wrong.

    • Faggot, again find another dick to suck, and stop trying to clone mine for your your #nastiness. You’re a #Dirty_Bitch trying to use my moniker to paint shit over what Vere C. Edwards created.

      Pave your own goddamn way and stop leaching off me!

  4. The last thing Jamaica needs is to have a law in place that enables discrimination in an already violent country.
