Reading this saddens me. Many people think that the homophobia in the US is bad but the the Caribbean countries and areas, homosexuality is greatly frowned upon. Also, although I am not gay, I can relate to the heteronormativity and conditioning as when I was younger my mom's best friend would always be the one to call me out on something and would always say "crying is for girls" or "man up" if there were time when I felt sad about something. Also in ALOT of reggae and dancehall music and videos there are flooding amounts of hyper masculinity and degradation of women as sexual figures only.
