Gay Jamaicans launch legal action over island’s homophobic laws
Landmark case seeks to abolish colonial-era ‘buggery’ laws and stop murders and violent attacks on Caribbean homosexuals

Two gay Jamaicans have launched a legal challenge to colonial-era laws, which in effect criminalise homosexuality, on the grounds that they are unconstitutional and promote homophobia throughout the Caribbean.

The landmark action, supported by the UK-based Human Dignity Trust, is aimed at removing three clauses of the island’s Offences Against Persons Act of 1864, commonly known as the “buggery” laws.

The battle over the legislation – blamed by critics for perpetuating a popular culture of hatred for “batty boys”, as gay men are derided in some dancehall music – has also drawn a British lawyer into the debate, who said that Jamaica should not follow the legislative example of the UK.

The legal challenge is being taken to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is modelled on the European Court of Human Rights. Jamaica is not a full member and any ruling would only be advisory and not binding; it would, nonetheless, send out a strong signal of international disapproval.

When the Jamaican prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller, was elected last December, she said she would hire a gay person to serve in her cabinet and condemned discrimination. Despite early sympathetic signals, her government has not attempted to repeal the laws.

The Offences Against Persons Act does not formally ban homosexuality but clause 76 provides for up to 10 years’ imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for anyone convicted of the “abominable crime of buggery committed either with mankind or any animal”. Two further clauses outlaw attempted buggery and gross indecency between two men.

Jamaica has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Murders of gay men are increasing, according to Dane Lewis, executive director of the Jamaica Forum of Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (J-Flag), who is one of those petitioning the commission.

“This year alone there have been nine [murders],” he said. “The violence in Jamaica is having a spillover effect on other parts of the Caribbean: St Lucia now has a murder or so every year.”

One prominent victim was John Terry, the British honorary consul in Montego Bay, who was found dead in 2009 having been beaten and strangled. A note left on his body read: “This is what will happen to all gays.”

Many gay Jamaicans have fled abroad, some to the UK. In 2002, two gay Jamaican men were granted asylum in the UK because their lives were in danger from “severe homophobia” in the Caribbean.

Senior Jamaican police officers have in the past dismissed killings as the result of gay-on-gay “crimes of passion” – an interpretation disputed by civil rights groups.

In a House of Lords debate this week on the treatment of homosexual men and women in the developing world, the Conservative Lord Lexden said a “wave of persecution and violence has been suffered by gay people connected with [J-Flag]”. Intolerance of homosexuality, he noted, was a legacy of the British empire: “Today, 42 of the 54 nations of the Commonwealth criminalise same-sex relations.”

Jonathan Cooper, a London barrister who is the chief executive of the Human Dignity Trust, said: “We want to ensure that Jamaica satisfies its international human rights treaty obligations. We are supporting J-Flag in this case.

“These, and two accompanying cases supported by Aids-Free World, are the first cases before the Inter-American Commission but the issue is clear in international human rights law.”

The UN’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Jamaica is a signatory, protects private adult, consensual sexual activity.

J-Flag has also received free pro-bono advice from the UK City law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in drawing up their legal challenge.

One of the main bodies arguing to preserve the Offences Against Person Act is the Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship in Jamaica (which has no connection to the UK Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship).

Paul Diamond, a British barrister and Evangelical Christian who specialises in religious discrimination cases, took part in a debate on Jamaica’s laws at the University of the West Indies last December.

“[Jamaicans] feel they are being pressurised by the UK and US governments in terms of visas and aid grants to modify their position [on homosexuality], which they say is morally based,” Diamond told the Guardian. “I told them that England has totally failed in finding any balance between religious [and civil] freedoms.”

The prime minister’s office in Jamaica did not respond to enquiries.

Anti-gay laws in the Caribbean

While Jamaica holds the crown for being the worst place in the Americasto be gay, the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean has a long history of homophobia. The British colonial administration entrenched “buggery laws” in its colonies, many of which remain in some form.

The Bahamas criminalises same-sex activity between adults in public, although not in private. Jamaican, Guyanese and Grenadian laws do not mention lesbianism, but Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia prohibit all acts of homosexuality.

Trinidad and Tobago’s state-sponsored homophobia extends further through immigration laws prohibiting “prostitutes, homosexuals or persons living on the earnings of prostitutes or homosexuals, or persons reasonably suspected as coming to Trinidad and Tobago for these or any other immoral purposes” from entering the country.

Although the law is not enforced, there were attempts from Christian groups to prevent Elton John headlining the Tobago Jazz Festival in 2007. Church leaders were worried about the singer’s potential influence on the “impressionable minds” of the island’s young people.

Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, and the Turks and Caicos islands were forced to repeal their sodomy laws in 2000, when Britain issued an order to its overseas territories, which it had to do to meet international treaty obligations.

A 17-year-old marriage between Mr Adewole Agbolade and Mrs Kafayat Agbolade has been dissolved by an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos State on Monday after the husband accused the wife of fetish practices.

Mrs Riskat Ekerin, the Court President, said that all efforts to reconcile the couple had proved futile as the petitioner insisted on divorce. Ekerin, however, ordered the petitioner, Adewole, to give the respondent, Kafayat, one of the houses which he built as compensation, as he had earlier promised. She also ordered that the children from the union should remain with the petitioner until the final resolution of the issue of custody by the family court.

Recounting his ordeals, Adewole had told the court on Aug.15 that “I once saw a horn tied with red cloth in my wife’s handbag.” He had also accused Kafayat, aged 35, of making incisions on the head of his five children without his consent or knowledge: “I travelled for two days and before I got back home my wife had made incisions on the head of my five children.

“My children told me after I returned from my trip that she brought an Alfa (Priest) home to do it… She also engages me in fights a lot and curses me every day; please separate us as I don’t want her to kill me,” he said.

The charms were tendered as exhibits before the court. Meanwhile, Kafayat, a trader, did not deny the claims and allegations by her husband: “Truly, he saw charms in my bag, but they were not meant to destroy his life; I used those charms to sell my own market and I never used them to do evil… “I want this court to plead on my behalf; I don’t have anywhere to go. I still want to be his wife,” she had said.

Called To A Holy Purpose

So here we are in a spiritual war zone “behind enemy lines” until the Lord Jesus shows up to rescue us from this present evil age. How do we approach the challenges we encounter in the Adversary’s domain? With the supernatural power of God resident within us in the gift of His spirit.

2 Timothy 1:7-12
(7) For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
(8) So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
(9) Who has saved us and called us to a holy life— not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
(10) But it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
(11) And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.
(12) That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

Note in verse eight that it is by the power of God working in and with us that we can persevere despite suffering, knowing that we have been called by God to a holy purpose that will be consummated in the age to come. In its notes on 2 Corinthians 4:11, the NIV Study Bible puts it well by saying that “human weakness provides the occasion for the triumph of divine power.” The sooner we recognize our own inability, the sooner we can, by association, remember and lean upon the Lord Jesus Christ’s supernatural ability in us. This is a great key to looking at life’s challenges with encouragement rather than discouragement.

2 Corinthians 4:8 and 9
(8) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
(9) Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

In verse eight, the word “perplexed” means “not knowing which way to go,” while “in despair” means to think there is no way to go. But, as the verse says, we are not in despair, because the truth is that there is always a way to be faithful to God, Who never abandons us, and helps us find the way.

2 Corinthians 4:10-12
(10) We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
(11) For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.
(12) So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

The epistles to the Corinthians relate closely to the doctrine set forth in Romans, and the above three verses illustrate that. To magnify the power of Christ in us rather than magnifying our own weakness, we must consistently reckon the “old man” dead and “walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:11). This is what verses 10-12 (above) are all about. As the NIV Study Bible notes put it, “daily ‘dying’ magnifies the wonder of daily resurrection life.”
