The named Jamaican NGO’s view with disgust the flying of the ‘rainbow’ LGBTQ flag on the grounds of the US Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica.

Flag of Intolerance
The LGBTQ flag is a flag of intolerance and polarization. It represents gross disrespect and an assault upon the consciousness of our Jamaican society.  There is no good reason for it to be flown at an Embassy in Jamaica. If Jamaicans allow this to occur unchallenged, it opens the door for the USA and other foreign nations to influence our social and political structure by way of diplomatic bullying.

Human Dignity
We believe that all persons are entitled to human dignity, however, this does not overlap with so-called “sexual rights”. The government of the USA is using the premises at 142 Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica, to promote a perverse lifestyle that involves the corruption of children, destruction of family life and the hi-jacking of femininity itself through the transgender movement which robs women of their rights.

Effect of LGBTQ movement
The LGBTQ political movement is not a civil rights movement. Experts call it “a Marxist post-modern political ideology”. The LGBT elite who need no special protection, seek to suppress the fundamental freedoms of conscience, religion, and parental rights of others, which is no basis for pride but for shame. This movement will lead to silencing the voice of Christians and conscientious objectors to the LGBTQ lifestyle even as churches continue their work of counselling, mentoring, and supporting those who struggle with unwanted same sex attraction.

Breach of International law
This act of cultural imperialism defines America’s identity as LGBTQ. It is also in defiance of Jamaica’s laws and cultural norms. Additionally, it is in breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,1961, Articles 20, 41, 3 (1)(e).

All foreign diplomats should appreciate how contemptuous it is to attempt to impose their dogma upon other nations, which would not be tolerated in the reverse.

American Foreign Policy should not be geared towards exporting sexual deviancy and perversion but have nobler ideals such as assisting host countries with alleviating crime and poverty.
