There is something about older LGBT couples that just warms hearts, like Mike and Phil who met in church 49 years ago.
Mike: “I wore my hot red pants. They worked every time.”
Phil: “They did. And I’m glad I was there to calm you down.”

In Jamaica, many LGBT individuals are displaced from their homes and communities because of their identity. Listen to Rosheka talk about this serious and important topic.
Do you know of any LGBT people who have been kicked out of their home for being LGBT?

Congrats to the organizer. Great to see the police out in full force serving and protecting the community.
*FYI the one in April 2010 in Mobay, was not a pride march as reported.
Ayyyyeee we LOVE to see it!🤩🤩🤩
