Jamaica prepares for its first LGBTI Pride festival this weekend

There will be no parade because of security fears but a flash mob event is planned for this Saturday along with other activities

It is not safe to be LGBT in Jamaica. Same-sex activity between men is illegal, and LGBT people are routinely assaulted and targeted for physical violence. 

But that hasn’t stopped a robust LGBT community from forming. And this weekend, amid security fears, they will host their first-ever Pride event. There will be no parade, but rather a week of events like a flash mob, open mics, an art exhibition, a flag-raising, a “coming-out symposium,” interactions with LGBT-friendly businesses and an acoustic concert for women. 

Pride will take place from August 1-8, overlapping with the annual celebrations for Jamaica’s Emancipation and Independence. 

In a statement to Gay Star News, Nugent, who is co-chair of the Pride committee, said that through the event, ‘We will pause the negative vibrations from anti-gay lobby groups and focus on the strides we have made as a community. More importantly, we will recommit to initiatives that see us moving forward as one community.’

Pride Jamaica has received a video message of support from singer Diana King, in which she asked all Jamaicans to support the event: ‘support freedom, independence and breaking the rules of oppression.’

Amazing. Rock on, friends in Jamaica. I hope you have the most amazing time.
