Male commercial sex worker, homeless problems & a mob

Male hooker's wig falls off during oral sex - CSW chased by angry mob

Not even a few days have passed as outlined in the immediate post to this on our homeless trans/MSM counterparts that now comes another challenge not to mention everything else before and in between. The group in New Kingston have been forced to move due to some of their own getting involved in alleged criminal activity and other miscreants who also rob persons in the business district and its environs yet the Shoemaker Gully populations get blamed as well. The populations were forced to relocate after police pressure following the comments made by a previous police commissioner at a town-hall meeting where residents in New Kingston and some business interests expressed concerns about the robberies and public disorder. Clashes with the public especially male passers-by are legendary as those who pound the pavement in a bid to make some money target anything that effectively resemble an assigned male.

The patrons at the nearby Club Escape or further on the hip strip on Knutsford Boulevard are too numerous to mention, other DJ colleagues of mine mostly heterosexuals and others keep me abreast of the drama and indeed sometimes it is embarrassing as they often ask why can’t ‘your kind’ behave better or other such remarks. The whole ugly situation of the effectively abandoned homeless populations has left a major stain on our image and affects or continue to affect the credibility of the LGBT lobby, some have seen the class differentiation as telling as it seems it is only the privileged and upper classes who are deemed worthy of such rights while the homeless or least amongst us are mere cannon fodder in the fight.

However

The Star News carried this one from St Catherine:

A male prostitute, who disguised himself as a female, had to run for his life when his wig fell off, while giving sexual favours to a man in Old Harbour, St Catherine, earlier this week.

His customer, who was being given a blow job, reportedly thought his conquest was a female, but got the shock of his life when he was approaching a climax.

"Him did a get a head (oral sex) from a sexily dressed person when it sweet him, and him grab on the long flowing wig. It drop off inna him hand and him realised that it was a man," a male resident said.

THE STAR understands that the man on the receiving end made an alarm, which alerted persons in the once sleepy fishing village that the prostitute was a male. An angry mob quickly descended on the prostitute, who reportedly made a mad dash for the Old Harbour Police Station, some 200 metres away.

Inspector Richards, sub-officer in charge of the station, confirmed that the man was rescued by the police, despite pleas from the mob that he be released for them to "deal with his case".

"This man could be a gold medallist fi Jamaica," a business operator said.

"Him really fast and move like a true athlete. Dem couldn't catch him. Only God can help this area."

Police personnel in the area also told THE STAR that the Old Harbour area is now being overrun by sex workers

ENDS

To separate the wheat from the tears is the trouble as indicated above so all get lumped as disgusting or unworthy of any interventions by an already snobbish if not careless and disinterested NGO community; despite promises made but broken, mere tokenism repeatedly, so called fundraising online yet no real results and others more interesting with image building than dealing with lives interrupted. Registration status seems more important and impressive looking social media profiles which is only more elegance than evidence. No formal response from JFLAG and company at the time of this post and I am not expecting any such. As for the recently concluded Beyond Homophobia conference at the University of the West Indies in December 2016 it just shows the contrast between the privileged who resort to escapism to ignore or gloss over homeless challenges and also starkly highlight the wide class divide so profoundly.

Hope remains while company is true however and a few individuals are looking at this with some solutions but not for the first time though.

Peace & tolerance needed indeed
