The concept of citizenship cannot be subjected to personal biases; to blatantly deny a person or group of persons their citizenship would directly violate both international treaties and the Jamaican constitution.

Quality of Citizenship Jamaica (QCJ) is committed to improving the lives of particularly young lesbian, bisexual (LB), and other women who have sex with women (WSW). QCJ is also dedicated to working with LGBT youth, and the ageing LB and WSW population.

Everyday people are abused because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender person. Don’t allow yourself or anyone to suffer in silence. Take a Stand Against Homophobia. The Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals & Gays (J-FLAG) has a number of persons available island-wide to help you if you, your family or friends experience abuse because of sexual orientation or gender identity.
