Foremost Authority on HIV and AIDS in the region says: no published data to substantiate the hypothesis that decriminalising the practice of anal intercourse among consenting adults would lead to a reduction in the incidence rate of HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM).

The matter of Professor Brendan Bain, head of the Caribbean HIV/AIDS Regional Training (CHART), makes for compelling reading in the Jamaica press. It has its genesis in a case on the way in Belize where the goodly Professor gave expert testimony in a matter against a Gay Belizean Caleb Orozco. Orozco challenged in September 2010 Section 53 of Belize’s criminal code which states, “every person who has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any person or animal shall be liable to imprisonment for 10 years“. The gist of which he argues that, “the code violates his right to the recognition of human dignity, to personal privacy and the privacy of the home guaranteed by the Belize constitution”.

At a point in the case Professor Bain, regarded as an expert in clinical infections and an authority on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean, gave expert testimony which has resulted in calls for his dismissal from the UWI by Gay advocates.  Part of Bain’s testimony which has created a furor is quoted in the Jamaica Observer article.

BU’s interest in the case will be to observe how the privilege accorded to Academicians by the University of the West Indies is weighed against the strident LGBT lobby.

BU states for the record it does not support a Gay lifestyle.

    Ok Domps, it seems that ghetto gibe must have hit below the belt. So if its any good to you I’ll apologise for it and retract the statement with the proviso that all gloves will be off the next time you choose to attack me.
    Agreed?

    Are you going to be alright? De Hood, told me that you went to teke yaa pain medication. PG, for your information: I lived a very sheltered live in Barbados. I was born and bred just behind District A Police Station wall, and my role models were the police men and women who were stationed there during the years. Need I inform your thinking anymore?

    Doc whether you realise it or not this is the very reason I rarely make any comments on BU. That’s because I have lived long enough to know that certain folk are always on the lookout to pick an argument and they will pick on the most petty issues just to rile others up. That is why most times I just prefer to read what is posted and LMAO at the comedians that appear here and remain silent on the side. I am quite sure that David could tell exactly when I am logged on here by my IP number. So I will continue as I have been accustomed to doing unless I feel that there is some point that I think I must put forward. Capiche?

    Georgie Porgie, a word of advice: there are two kinds of education, formal and informal. And apparently, you haven’t done much in the way of reading because if you had, you would have known that a lot of the great intellects were informally educated.

    Whenever you log onto BU, you say a lot of nothing. When have you ever contribute anything with substance here on BU? You keep silent not because you choose to do; you’re silent because you have little to add to the discourse here. And I’ve noticed, that from time to time, you hold onto GP pant leg for dear life, like he is some kind of a sage around here. Brother, don’t let this imposer fool you with his downloaded information from the Internet. I got his card that is why he hates me.

Its a pity you do not pay more attention to what he says as there is a great deal you could learn from him. Anyhow, you can have the last word on this issue as this is my last comment on this.

    You strike me as an intelligent man, but I am afraid to say that you’re quite gullible, to believe that this man can teach anything. I have been on this blog for quite sometime now, and the people that impress me the most are AC, Ross, Hal Austin, Moneybrain, piece, Jack, and David with his equanimity. If we could get rid of GP and Bush Tea, it would do the blog a lot of good, because I have high hopes for the blog. We need to get the young people on board to help diversify the conversation.

    It says just the same as the Bible, Dave. Tell you what, next time you have a few minutes to spare google- ” THE FAMILY- A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD” and that will tell you our thoughts on the subject. BTW, will you let me know your thoughts on it when you are finished reading it? Many thanks.

    It is a good message which promotes the traditional values missing so much from the world we live in today. Many of the values listed in the message are subscribed to by the BU household.

    Whatever you may mean by “holy roller” I’m sure doesn’t apply to de ol hood here. I’m just a struggling ol sinful ol man here trying to make peace with the good Lord for all the tresspassing that I been doing most of my life and hoping that He would be merciful to me when the bell rings.

    I don’t know if that is any help to you but that’s how it is. Capiche?

    Read it Hoodie and yes it makes sense. The tradition family at the centre of everything we support.

  22. de hood Avatar
    de hood

    @David

    Yeah Dave. We uphold the tenets of the traditional family. That is…….mother, father, children as well as any members of the extended family as can be accommodated. Not the modern idea of “family” being two mothers and children or two fathers and children.

    We most definitely teach our members especially the younger ones to stay far away from those same.sex relationships as possible. However, we realise that humam beings will make mistakes so we do not carry out any “witch-hunts” or progroms against anyone. You follow me?

  23. David Avatar
    David

    Of course Hoodie and because one holds true to the traditional value set (Christian) it does NOT mean being intolerate of others who subscribe to different values. This is what we need to demonstrate as humanbeings.

  24. de hood Avatar
    de hood

    @David

    You’re quite right, David. Intolerance of others whether it be race, creed, religion or class is not accepted by us. But again, remember, we are not on a “witch hunt”. We preach of Christ, teach of Christ and of Him crucified and resurrected. We believe that a person is free to worship God according to the dictates of his heart. The rest is left to the Lord for His decision and judgement.

    Does that help, David?

    David both you and De Hood are missing the meat of the argument, ya’ll are submerged somewhere in a deep gravy. It has little to do with traditional values which by the was disguised under male chauvinism. It has more to do with a society that allowing its members the latitude to determine their course with in reasoning of course. So therefore, if two consenting adults of the same gender decide that their love each another and want to share a life together. Who are you and I to pontificate on the morality associated with their life choices? I can’t help but to think that we’re venturing into uncharted territory as far as our moral condemnation is concern. God gave to Adam as well as Eve and the entire human race the gift of self-determination/ free-will. And finally, David, you can’t obviously can’t be serious about thev book of Mormons Brother? You should have asked De Hood,
    How did the good book of the Mormons used to regarded the people of colour centuries ago? The same religion that was accused quite recently of sexually abusing boys as well as girls. The same religion which has a history of forcing women in subservient roles. And whose elder was featured on America’s Most Wanted for raping innocent children. Good family values David, when a man could have as much wives as he chooses. Leaving the morality which is associated with religion aside, and deal with the empirical reality regarding homosexuality.

    I would strongly suggest that you get your facts straight before making statements that have no substance in actual fact. Don,t jump on the keyboard of your new toy, as, G P said earlier, and start typing without doing the required research.

    It has been reported that students and staff at a secondary school in the north of Barbados are at risk of exposure to tuberculosis. Wouldn’t this imply someone with this ailment moving around the students coughing? Who is likely to have tuberculosis today?

    Here is one fact to get the ball rounding: Warren Jeff, President of the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints ( FLDS, was sentenced to life in prison for two felony counts of child sexual assault. Google… this is old news brother… I’ll give the history of discrimination again colour of people within the Church later. It was quite extensive!

  32. de hood Avatar
    de hood

    @ Balaam’s ass

    Now you see if you had taken the time to do any research you would have realised that some years ago Mr. Warren Jeffs broke away with his group from THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LDS and formed his own organisation which, as you said, is known as THE FUNDAMENTALIST church of lds which has no connection to the organisation to which I belong which is, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LDS. These are are two SEPARATE and completely distinct organisations. Some of the reasons that he broke away would have been that he could not have his own way to do as he wanted which, as we all know now, was to carry on with his perversions. So please when you want to distribute false information take it to someone else who may be as illiterate as you as, perhaps, you just might have an audience.

    Now, mf, in any proper court of law you would have totally been discredited as a material witness because of the very false information which you have just disseminated in your above statement. Also this is not the first time that I have discovered that you are a stranger to the truth! You you proven yourself to “vary” the facts to suit your agenda! So in future I or anyone else would have to take whatever you put forward here with a huge spoon of salt, not just a grain of salt as we do with some others! Capiche???

    TB WAS ERADICATED IN BIM YEARS AGO

    THE FACT THAT THERE ARE CASES TODAY SUGGESTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ALLOWING IT TO RETURN BECAUSE OF LAPSED IMMIGRATION

    IN ADDITION THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A LARGE POCKET OF IMMUNO-COMPRPMISED PERSONS ON THE ISLAND WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE E.G THOSE WITH AIDS CONTRACTED FROM THE BULLERS THAT AC AND BALAAM’S ASS ARE DEFENDING.

    Quite so Dave. Its a scary situation all right and any modern, forward planning national Health department would be able to handle the problem competently and efficiently. However, with the kind of leadership that pertains to Barbados presently can we say so with any degree of confidence?

    I can tell you of a case that came before me just within the last two weeks where a patient was sent to the QEH two years ago for an Angiogram to be performed because of suspected blocked arteries to the heart. The procedure was never performed at the QEH (for whatever reasons I don’t know) and the patient grew worse and worse over the intervening 2 years until she was seen by another heart specialist and treated for her health problems immediately. I can now report that the patient is now much improved and gaining strength daily because of the timely intervention by this very competent specialist! Left to those presently in charge of running the affairs at the QEH she may very well be planted by now!
