Members of Jamaica’s powerful, popular, fundamentalist Seventh Day Adventists have started to realize that LGBT people deserve courtesy, not scorn.
Seventh Day Adventists are the largest Christian group in Jamaica and count the country’s Governor General, Prime Minister, Speaker of the House and other senior government officials among their membership.This powerful fundamentalist and anti-LGBT denomination also operates a university, Northern Caribbean University.
During a recent event for the university a pastor favorably cited the lyrics of one of Jamaica’s most popular “murder-music” songs that calls for the shooting death of gays.
