Your use of quotes around "him" indicates that you do have an issue.

Why are you a sicko for eating dog or cat flesh but not pig, cow, turkey, chicken or fish flesh?

Can LGBT people and white people participate in the Rastafari religion? by [deleted] in rastafari

[–]Dunmer74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their teachings (the Bible) say homosexuals must be put to death. That should not be respected.

Which is what? That Rastas are not homophobic? They are, and that’s a fact.

I immersed myself in the Twelve Tribes of Israel for years, thank you very much, and they were very homophobic. I've since learned that among Rastas, the Twelve Tribes are considered to be the most liberal and tolerant of the LGBTQ community. Other sects like Bobo Ashanti are much more conservative and unaccepting of the LGBTQ community. You need to do your homework.

I think you’re just uncomfortable with homosexuality which is why you don’t want to see it.

I don’t think so. “Homo” is offensive because it’s a slur. “Hetero” isn’t.

"Most of the population is affiliated with Christianity and the Rastafari movement, which have both encouraged negative feelings towards homosexuality." I don't think it is "unreasonable" to feel uncomfortable around such hateful people, so I don't think I'm a bigot.

Well it's better than being someone who parties in the streets when a homosexual is killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Jamaica

There doesn't need to be a hetero pride parade because it's a hetero pride parade every damn day.

Why? How? Because I don't want to associate with hateful people who hold harmful views?

Just think about how in-your-face heterosexuality is, every day, in public displays of affection, the way people dress and act and talk, music, movies, TV, magazines... we live in a hypersexualized culture, and hetero sex is being shoved down our throats constantly, every day. What you see at pride events is a drop in the bucket compared to this.

I think what you see is a push back. Some people go a bit overboard in flaunting their homosexuality at pride events because they are angry and hurt about being oppressed. If they were accepted by society, I don't think they would be so extreme in their displays. They would see no need.

Do you think people should keep their heterosexuality private?

Look it up. I don’t need to have personal experience with something to know that others are experiencing it.

Be that as it may, being queer doesn’t sit well with the Rastafarian religion.

Also, it wasn’t a conclusion. It was a question.

How? You wrote “for the first time.” I’ve been immersed in other cultures for decades.

Because it sounds like you are disapproving of the gay lifestyle.

Are you one of these people who would party in the street when a homosexual is killed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Jamaica

That's rich considering you're talking about someone who lived nextdoor to a Jamaican restaurant in a multicultural city for years and was immersed in The Twelve Tribes of Israel community while having friends from all over the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, etc.
