A Jamaican male who did an impersonation of deejay Lady Saw was crowned the winner of the 2009 Gay Caribbean/USA Pageant in Brooklyn, New York, last Tuesday.

Mimi Mancini copped the title from a field of five gay men all of Caribbean origin and representing their various island homes.

Hemish Gervis, promoter of the pageant, told THE STAR that Mancini, who is originally from St Ann, and who now lives as a woman, stunned the crowd with his impersonation of the dancehall diva, in the talent section of the pageant. Gervis also said that Mancini left little to the imagination in his swimsuit appearance, where he paid tribute to Dunns River Falls.

Second place went to Guyana's Vanessa Flowers, while third was Frantica Boujourles representing St Lucia. Fourth and fifth were Barbados' Rehanna B. and Madame Fleur De Fleur of Martinique, respectively.

Gervis said the show was a huge success, thanks to the support from the media, the New York Police Department and the Unity Fellowship Church.

The pageant, which is expected to become an annual event, was in its first year.

Re: Winner of the Caribbean Gay Beauty Pageant is a Jamaican!

More like the parade before the procession eh?!?
Funeral procession that is.

I have to laugh at my country and it's people sometimes.

What is the derision that the majority have against effeminate men??
Since I don't really think they hate gays as much as they have a derision against men who behave 'womanly'.

I have seen where they have stoutly refuse to even believe that men are gay, if they display no obvious female tendencies.

How do you see it??<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Silent_River</div><div class="ubbcode-body">well, you know how dem stay in ja. he/she greeted with lots of shining silver cutlasses and machetes. Grand welcome back indeed!

Re: Winner of the Caribbean Gay Beauty Pageant is a Jamaican!

When I initially read the story I thought &quot; oh the irony' when mi know how we stay wid gays/homosexuals. Just like di music industry, yu haffi goh a foreign fi get 'big', and den Jamaicans will accept yu. lol. we did that wid bob Marley, cause dem neva accept rastafarians as they do now-well, kinda somewhat..

well, mi feel it stems from the deep religious sentiments of the culture. It's a male dominant society, so there is great pride in the celebration of the masculine gender,..Everyone has their own beliefs/convictions, but it shouldn't lead to murder. noh right..

Hey Dr. Dudd!

<span style="color: #333399">I read this and I recalled what you said in this conversation:</span>

<span style="color: #000099">Yu probably right. Look at this:</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Chopped for 'girly' walk - Fingers almost severed in dispute </span></span>
SOurce

One man is lucky to have four of his fingers still intact after a machete-wielding attack over the way he walked almost cleared them off.

Information reaching THE STAR is that the man was walking down a street in the Corporate Area last week when a group of females and another man, Vivian Rainford, started making fun of the way the man was walking, claiming that it was rather girlish.

Reports continued that an argument developed between the man and the group as a result of the teasing. THE STAR was told that the man being teased and Rainford, soon started questioning the sexual preference of each other with one labelling the other as being a homosexual.

The name calling got so heated that a machete was brought into play. The man accused of having a 'girlish' walk, was attacked and chopped, resulting in four fingers almost being severed from his left hand.

A report was made to the police and following investigations, Rainford was arrested and charged with wounding with intent.

When both men appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court last Friday, many courtgoers, who heard the allegations, were surprised when the complainant walked into the courtroom as nothing was wrong with how he walked.

The injured man also told the court that since the incident he has not been able to use his hand as the injured fingers cannot move or bend. Rainford, in his defence told the court that he was attacked first and defended himself. Bail for the accused was set in the sum of $50,000. The case returns to court on October 15.

Re: Hey Dr. Dudd!

That is the oft ignored reality of the Jamaican psyche.
the majority of Jamaicans,that is.
They simply have a derision to men acting feminine.

They also have a similar attitude to women who act more manly too.
although the aggression does seem to be as readily displayed, in the case of women.
The problem is that at least half of homosexuals do not display such behavior.
As a result they can carry on with their way of life among the general population.
As long as they do not attempt to do it in public.

Homosexuals are as common in Jamaican prisons as they are in any other country.

They also are held in disdain equally in Jamaica as they are other countries.
difference is that the world homosexual lobby see Jamaica as an easy target.
Incidentally the feeling of derision is more widesporead internationally, than Jamaica,but that is another topic.

After spending all that energy, I think they are realizing that

Jamaica is not as easy as they thought at all.

They forgot to properly assess their target.
