Homosexuality in the Jamaican Police Force
Manage episode 420409223 series 2649699
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of homophobia, homophobic language, murder and police brutality. There are also brief mentions of slavery and rape.
By no stretch, is the Jamaica Constabulary Force the most loved civil servant organisation. However, the organisation colonial roots, anti-black mode of operations and the nation’s homophobia lead to a rumour that the organisation is been overrun by queer male police officers; and despite being untrue, this rumor has lasted for almost a century and at one point, even prompted a government inquiry into the force for their alleged "homosexual behaviours".
