Social Awareness Entry #1

     In America Gays and Lesbians are fighting for their rights but I looked up Gays and Lesbians rights in Jamaica. People are being arrested if they're Gay. Up to 10 years in prison if exposed. Men they can't do ANYTHING. People are starting organizations about that. They even started something about it in 1974 called the " Gay Freedom Movement ".  They made a Gay Freedom Constitution. Here's the link http://www.outhistory.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Gay_Freedom_Movement_of_Jamaica,_West_Indies:_January_13,_1980
Especially in Jamaica all the violence happening now it makes it worse for them. People are willing to kill men.
   The thing that more ticked me off was that Lesbians are free to be Lesbians, they do get critisized but they don't have to do 10 years in prison like men have to and it's really cruel.
