Dignity Due To All Jamaicans

THE EDITOR, Sir:
Re the column titled 'Tolerance doesn't mean agreement' published February 1, 2011.
I have come to expect a more populist approach to the taboo topic of homosexuality when it is mentioned, and I was pleasantly surprised by the light-hearted yet critical analysis of this article. Perhaps this is the kind of candour that will encourage people to question the points of view they have been force-fed, and to determine for themselves truly what their opinions are.
needless murder
The murder of David Kato is a tragedy that resonates throughout the global community, not because it is sensational, but because on a deeper spiritual level we all can sense the injustice of a life needlessly taken.
This is the lesson that martyrdom imparts.
I pray that no longer will God's beautiful creations be denigrated and condemned to lives of isolation. I pray that no longer will the shame of societal taboo blight the future of the gifted.
And I pray that Jamaicans will fulfil the promise of our National Pledge and stand up for justice and do our part to advance the welfare of the whole human race.
I am, etc.,
