(Jamaica) - The attack on a group of allegedly homosexual cross-dressers at a funeral service in Mandeville has earned harsh condemnation from local gay rights activists. The Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All Sexuals and Gays (JFLAG) is expressing outrage about this latest demonstration of anti-gay violence, which reportedly occurred on Sunday at the funeral of businessman Kirk Wayne Lester. JFLAG has called for speedy police investigations into the attack, during which an angry mob reportedly armed with machetes, knives, bottles and stones attacked persons attending the service who they claimed were gay.
