Jamaica: Minister urges 'help' for gay and trans people forced to live in storm drain

13th June 2014, 2:17 PM, Nick Duffy

A Jamaican politician has called on the government to help a group of homeless gay and trans people who are forced to live in a storm drain.

Last month, Unreported World followed a group of gay and transgender people who were driven from their homes and are forced to live in a disused storm drain, revealing the violent attacks they face.

MP Julian Robinson – the Minister of State for Science and Technology – told the Jamaican House of Representatives that the group needs to be helped following "international exposure", though he misgendered them as "homosexual men"
