IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW....(I WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN)

JAMAICA has been placed at the top of a list of no go destinations for gays according to a press release issued by Cheapflights UK, a travel agency website.

“Believe it or not, there are still several places in this modern world where being gay is actually illegal and can result in abuse and even arrest in some cases,” the release stated.

The list is of no go destinations completed by Fiji, Poland, Nicaragua and Mauritius.

Buggery is against the law in Jamaica and is punishable by a sentence of no more than 10 years at hard labour.

Despite reports from local and international gay groups that gays are persecuted in Jamaica, police blotters indicate that the majority of murders involving gays are the result of lovers’ quarrels and not homophobic attacks.

The website listed the top five destinations that are welcoming to gays as the US cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, Amsterdam in Holland and Provincetown in Massachusetts.
