That incident has also drawn the anger of many who say or ask why gays and lesbians have to bring their business in public?
As if to say we don't have a right albeit somewhat embarrassing as the exchange maybe but the use of public spaces for any activity not illegal is limited to only heterosexuals, if two heteros were fighting or arguing in public it would have drawn a large crowd and loads of laughter but a lesbian couple must somehow step aside. Only a couple months ago in Spanish Town there was another such incident involving two school girls from an institution in St. Catherine where the quarrelling couple were parted by other classmates (males included) this phenomenon of fighting in public in particular once seen more so in the MSM and drag groupings of the lower socio populations and used to be strongly condemned by other members of the LGBT community mostly from middle and the upper socio economic levels who often complain about the embarrassment and disruption it caused at parties and on the community itself so much so that the entertainment arenas became very class divided and questions would be asked in response to adverts about upcoming events like "are those people going to be there?"
I can almost assure you that a string of sensational same gender loving tinged stories are going to start flowing again from the tabloid as they go on an on again off again quest.
Here is the story from the Star:
During fight at girls' home ... LESBIANS THROW FILTH AT EACH OTHER?
A group of lesbian girls at a place of safety are alleged to have thrown faeces at each other last week when they became involved in a huge fight.
According to reports reaching THE WEEKEND STAR, the fight at the home, which is said to house teenage girls, allegedly developed when one ward became involved in a fight with another because of her involvement with a female.
After the authorities tried to stop the fight, it is alleged that the girls went to a nearby cesspool took the faeces and began throwing it at each other and the authorities.
When the police were alerted and arrived on the scene, a source told THE WEEKEND STAR the girls went as far as stripping to prevent the lawmen's operation.
Unheard of behaviour
Source said that even with the presence of the person in charge of the home, it took quite some time and effort to get things under control.
When THE WEEKEND STAR contacted a representative of the Child Development Agency we were told that; "There was a fight last week, however, it was brought under control."
The representative said that it appears that one girl who was recently transferred to the facility met upon another girl with whom she had a fight at the previous facility.
When asked about the alleged lesbian relationships taking place on the compound, the representative said, "There are no such reports of such behaviour as we have never heard of any of that there."
ENDS
The story is conflicting though as the so representative of the facility was said to have said they are not aware of any same gender loving activity taking place there but the article starts off by describing the alleged fighters as lesbians, someone is lying it seems. But the public reaction as I've seen so far earlier today is enough to justify that the Star has a winner in their camp in terms of stoking the homophobic/lesbophobic levels as many when hearing fecal matter was involved seem to merge gay male anal sex with contact with the substance as well then looping all into the realm of "nastiness"
Peace and tolerance
