Tolerance vs intolerance well, IMO we'd be better off with more intolerance and standing strong for a higher authority, resisting the human penchant of waywardness. I hope Jamaicans stay strong on the matter and the country retains its current perspective.
    What do you hope they stay strong on? The fact that being gay and female in Jamaica is ok but being gay and a male is not? IME, having a gay Jamaican female friend, the only issue is gay men. I have observed this after spending days with her in all sorts of settings, just as I have seen numerous locals going off about gay men.

    Better off with more intolerance? Just what the world needs......

    There is an interesting program on Vice called "Gaycation", which is about homophobia in around the world. This one is in Jamaica: https://www.viceland.com/en_us/video...8d460f15d3505b

    You have to have a cable or satellite subscription to watch, alas...

    Look how the tolerance for unregistered motor bikes and unlicensed drivers has worked.

    If parents are tolerant of everything their children do?

    Tolerance of everything is chaos.
