Rapper Shaggy is mistaken about what a lesbian is, because he thinks he is one.
“Sweetheart let me tell you this, I am the number one lesbian. Ain’t nobody love more woman than me, and I am Jamaican so I represent for all Lesbians right there. There has been a movement and I am leading it.”
He continues to say some really ridiculous things about LGBT Jamaicans.
“There are a lot of gays that I see in Jamaica that are affectionate. You see Jamaica has a stigma where people think we are the greatest gay bashers in the world; but that is not the case. I live in Kingston and there are a lot of gay people in Jamaica, and nobody is walking around and killing gays, if you look at the statistics there has not been any killing of gays in Jamaica. The only Killings you hear is gay on gay crime and that is a crime of passion. So don’t listen to the propaganda and be misled, have you been to Jamaica, you should visit.”
I’d like to know what kind of statistics Shaggy is looking at. Perhaps he can provide us with these studies and I can finally feel like Jamaica would be a safe vacation spot.
