LGBT News The Queen: Monarch of 12 countries where being gay can land you in prison

Are they taking this out on HRH? She couldn't tell half of them what to do anyway.

 

I'd say be cautious of going on a Caribbean cruise. You could find yourself in serious trouble.

 

This is sad Not really the queen's fault but it gives me another reason to renounce the monarchy.

Seeing the punishments other men can receive for the way they were born makes me extremely grateful for all of the rights I have as a British citizen.

 

Reason number infinity for opposing the monarchy.

 

I didn't know Jamaica made homosexulity illegal. I just lost a lot of respect for that country.

 

Makes me proud of the plentiful booing she got last time she came to aberdeen People stood on the roofs of the uni to stand and boo her

There were some tourists who seemed extremely shocked by it

 

Thats brilliant

 

I suppose. But surely she'd make an effort to stop anti-LGBT laws in these countries. That's if she is pro-LGBT.

 

Not that I agree. I just needed to post that.

 

IIRC, the Queen has some idea of divine right, that God intended for her to be queen, so she won't abdicate from any of her positions.

 

The Queen is Sovereign of 15 Commonwealth realms in addition to the UK. She is also Head of the Commonwealth itself, a voluntary association of 54 independent countries.

She is there for the Head of 70 Countries

 

Haha, good old Scotland

 

Sad I'll never be able to go on a Caribbean cruise with a husband...Though who knows by the time I have a husband some things might've changed a little lol but not enough

 

kick them out of the commonwealth

 

No love for the anti-gay laws but the British royal house can burn in flames for all I care.

The disgusting idea of Royal bloodlines, or the idea that a rich family rules by divine right or should get special privileges over everybody else, should've died with feudalism. I'd be pretty pissed if this batty rich British woman, who's previous generation were bloodthirsty dictators that invaded half the planet, had the power to override political conventions where I lived.
