Yeah, why does black people have to have there own type of homophobia? If your homophobic, then your homophobic, black or white, you dont like gays same way. Just because more people are homophobic in the caribbean and use different words and terms, doesnt mean its different from the homophobic white guy down the street, they both dislike gays.

"Black Homophobia" is bull****. Your either homophobic, regardless of race, or not.

He reminds me a bit of Rodrigo from last year in that Rodrigo claimed he was bisexual even though there was never a hint he fancied any of the girls from BB10. Methinks they're both gay but you never know, it could just be their personalities

lots of respect for you afro mullet, really , i like what you say and where your coming from 99.9% of the time. I didn't mean to cause offence by using the term 'black homophobia' but i will stand by the meaning behind it. As well as the different use of language , these days at least , homophobia that is taken into acts of violence and murder is actually pretty specific to some corners of the black community in jamaica and sadly in this country too. That and the free reign that some dancehall/rap artists seem to have on preaching hate encompasses to me , the meaning behind 'black homophobia' . That does not mean that I think all blacks or west indians or rappers are homophobic as i know from personal experience that this is not the case at all. When i look at giovan i see a child struggling to find and accept thier place in the world and i see fear. Sadly ,while homophobia and rascism can be digested and processed by adults comparatively easily (at least in more civilised parts of the world), there are youngsters who really struggle with all this stuff and it seems he has both to deal with.
