Re: Jamaican attitude toward Michael

i know u don't believe this, but homosexuality would not be a discredit to michael. it would just be a part of the man that he was, the man who created, the man who a lot of people are mourning.

I read an article saying that MJ had fallen in love with a waiter and they used to meet in dodgy motels. The journalist who reported this said he had seen photographs proving the waiter's story, however he did not have them published with the article.

I read another article which was interview of one of MJ's bodyguards. He claims that MJ had been seeing a woman with whom he was deeply in love for the past ten years.

His first wife, LMP, gave an interview in which she claims the sex between them was very good indeed. (Of course, being gay doesn't stop a man from giving a woman pleasure, just means that he doesn't get anything out of it.)

Anyway all of that to say each story is as believable as the other. What's the likelihood that the truth will ever be known?

Seriously though, I haven't read or heard any speculation from his family. If you have a link, I'd be interested to see. Ta. </div></div>

From my own personal knowledge I know that some Jamaicans profess violence to other Jamaicans based on a number of criteria.

I am not saying he was a [censored]....only that he had a very unusual childhood that made him into a very disturbed man, unable to deal with the real world.

If any other man would even LOOK like he looked or had any of the acusations aimed at him....in Jamaica, he would be toast, or salt, however you may want to term it.

I've seen a man totally slandered here because ONE person said a wrong ting about his sexuality.....so how dat goh??....enlighten me please </div></div>

I'm not sure it's as extreme as you think. I know many Jamaican gays who have never been attacked! To me this post is strange.

I know several openly Gay Jamaican guys and women. I was shocked some time ago when on a message board(dancehall) people were supporting a very butch lesbian dancer. I don't think the anti-gay sentiment is as extreme as some people think. Sure some gays speak angrily or violently against homosexuality but that exists in all societies.

Huh??? And do these friends of yours LIVE in Jamaica? Because there was a case that happened somewhat recently with a gay Jamaican policeman, who had to flee, to Canada i believe, because of the bullying and death threats... the Interview is on YouTube. Plus, a more &quot;masculine&quot; woman, for some reason, would be much more acceptable in Jamaica than a more &quot;feminine&quot; man... double standards... (note the quotes)

I think that some Jamaicans may have thought Michael Jackson was gay (whether he was or not), but because he is sooooo famous they know that their opinion of the matter means NOTHING...
