(Jamaica) - Jamaica's opposition leader Bruce Golding has come out strongly against any change in legislation to sanction homosexuality in Jamaica, even as members of that community are moving for greater acceptance among locals. According to Golding, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) of which he is president, is not prepared to go against the cultural norms of the Jamaican society, which are largely anti-same sex relationships. Golding's statements come at a time when sociologists and at least one academic are predicting an increase in violence against people of the same sex, who openly express affection for each other or engage in cross-dressing.
