My parents are both from Jamaica and my mum from Mandeville and I can tell you that for all the problems that Jamaica may have this is one thing they will not put up with. You can be the biggest drug fiend in the land and get away with it but if there is the slightest indication that you indulge in such acts then be prepared for a certain kind of public endorsed retribution

Out of interest, is it a religion thing? In general I mean, in Jamaica, the intolerance of this? Or just cultural?

To clarify, I meant homosexuality, not sexual assault.
