My computer was down and I've only recently returned. I'm back now, and ready to post about what I've heard.
Recently I heard about some sort of "covert" gay meeting between gay persons and religious leaders (or something like that.) It was published in the Woman's express I believe. It seems that while the gay society is hiding from ME it has no problems showing itself to everyone else out there via the press! Apparently we're trying to attain equal rights and the like. I'm sorry to be pessimistic, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Trinidad is a very, very homophobic place. (See post on homophobia.) I guess this is either a continuation of the last NGO movement I mentioned, or a different one. I hope it's the latter, that way there's more support. Maybe I should start a movement...
Anyway, yes homosexuality also made a debut in the Student's press a while ago, can't remember the exact reasons but a minister (or someone) made a statement that children who were abused/teased in schools wouldn't be treated differently because of sexual orientation. Or something along those lines, again I sincerely doubt it. Sometimes (often) Trinidad says one thing and does another.
Now that you know I'm alive, I'm off. Until next three months (haha, just kidding...I hope) later.
