ASYLUM UPDATE
Check out the following links to hear about the recent
cases of gay Jamaicans being granted asylum in the United
Kingdom because it would endanger their lives to return
home.

J-FLAG
has been assisting with many such asylum cases in the
UK, US and Canada. We feel that these cases are important
for all sexual minorities in Jamaica because the more
asylum cases that are granted, the greater the pressure
from foreign governments will be for Jamaica to improve
its human rights record in regard to sexual minorities.
You can do your part to support this effort. If you
know of any cases of discrimination or violence directed
toward sexual minorities here, email us at testimonies@jflag.org
for assistance in getting your story recorded. You can
also log on to Black Gay UK's website and sign their petition
of support for changes in Jamaica, http://www.blackgayuk.com/gay-rights/petition.htm
. Finally, please consider a generous donation to help
J-FLAG continue its work in this and many other areas
of support to the lesbian, gay and all-sexual community
in Jamaica. Just click on the "Donate"
page above to learn how!
