Nov 01, 2007Quickie Link: False Alert Outrages Jamaica's Homophobes
By vanrozenheim
(Jamaica) - Jamaica's Minister of Education Andrew Holness said a decisive 'no' to Rita Dyer and Norma Maynard's book, C-SEC Home Economics and Beyond (Management), which reportedly refers to same-sex unions as family. Holness angrily dismissed as "very unfortunate" a lead article in yesterday's Gleaner newspaper which reported that the book was recommended reading by the education ministry, despite the fact that it included a section suggesting that there has been a "broadening of the traditional definitions of a family structure" and that "when two women or two men live together in a relationship as Lesbians or Gays, they may be considered as a family".
