Jamaica's leading gay rights activist killed

[Senusret I]

After Jamaica's leading gay rights activist was stabbed and killed in his home, local gay groups blamed his death on homophobia.

Brian Williamson was found with multiple stab wounds to his neck yesterday morning.

So far, local police are denying the murder was a homophobic attack, claiming that a missing safe suggests it was a robbery that went wrong. Two men reported to be at Williamson's apartment prior to the murder are wanted in connection with the killing.

Isn't the entire Carribean a pretty homophobic area?

Maybe...I don't know from experience. However, a Trinidadian I know said that Jamaica is worse than other places.

That's terrible. People really need to lighten up about gays.

People need to understand that they have a freedom to not like or agree with something but they don't have a freedom to hate or hurt someone.
