The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has issued a public decision calling on Jamaica “to repeal laws prohibiting consensual same-sex conduct.” The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights concluded in their decision that “Jamaica’s laws violate rights to privacy and equal protection” and that this “discriminatory legislation contributes to violence [against LGBT persons] by members of the public.” The Commission cited an amicus brief submitted by the Human Rights Watch, saying that “Many [LGBT Jamaicans] live in constant fear. They are taunted; threatened; fired from their jobs, thrown out of their homes; beaten, stoned, r***d, and even killed.”
