Jamaica: Pastors again try playing the victim card

News in brief:

JAMAICA: About 1,500 people rallied June 23 against proposals to repeal the nation’s anti-buggery law, with Christian pastors again proclaiming that Christians would be the victims if LGBT were no longer threatened with prison sentences for same-sex activity. Pastor Leslie Buckland argued that gay rights activists are trying to “take over the world” and warned that if anti-sodomy law were repealed, activists would “go back to the court to make it a criminal offense to speak against the homosexual lifestyle.”
