Do you really think that President Obama making a statement about the Gay community in Jamaica is going to make a difference?

Jamaica is one of the most intolerant country that abhors Gays, nothing that this President of the US can deter how Jamaicans are. They even killed a university professor!

Just today, I saw that your President is asking for no theraphies to convert gay people! That was bold of President Obama, but you do think anyone is going to listen to him!

For me, the world changed when President Obama was elected and it just goes to show how much some people hate him and whilst they hate him, more people love him.
