so once again the jamaican parliamentarians are at it again!! And no its not about how can we decrease the level of crime and violence or HIV/AIDS infections. but once again they are out to inform the populace that homosexuality is illegal this time throught a different route.
Men who cheat on their female partners by engaging in homosexual acts should be punished under the proposed sexual offences law, according to Opposition Senator Sandrea Falconer.
At the same time, another parliamentarian is urging her colleagues to block every loophole to prevent a man who undergoes a sex change from seeking coverage under the definition of sexual intercourse in the proposed law.
In her contribution to the debate on Friday, Senator Falconer charged that she had little regard for bisexuals. "I believe that those men when found out should be eligible for prosecution under Section 4 Subsection 4 (3) (b) of this current bill," she said.The particular section of the bill states: "Consent shall not be deemed to exist where the apparent agreement to sexual intercourse is obtained by false and fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act or the identity of the offender."
In the proposed law, sexual intercourse means the penetration of the vagina of one person by the penis of another person.
"The sex organs should not include any surgically constructed sex organs under circumstances, such as where a person underwent a sex change," Senator Bennett said.
She argued that a man could claim to change his gender to that of a woman by having a vagina surgically constructed and then seek coverage under the definition of sexual intercourse.this debate wil for ever be a never ending one that will continue for years to come. and the sad thing is no one in the country cannot stand up and defend the rights of these people as they too will be sentenced. as sad world we live in.
