Rastafari isn't actually that cool, especially not when it comes to gay people. They are also strongly opposed to oral and anal in heterosexual couples and are generally quite patriarchal. Have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari

Also, afrocentrism is one of its core ideas, which makes it pretty weird when white people convert to it (e.g. Gentleman, a German reggea singer).

Also, weed is still illegal in Jamaica. I assume it gets tolerated somewhat, at least with the Rastafaris, but it's technically illegal.

Also also, Jamaican rum is really good! It's a very special style, no one makes it quite like they do.

lol some of the “cool” stuff are explicitly against homosexuality. Like Rastafari and Reggae (not all) Lots of homophobic lyrics in reggae music. And often just calling for straight up murder of gays like the song Boom Bye Bye by Bunju Banton which is a very popular song in Jamaica.

Lock me up with a bunch of dudes that never have hopes of being with a woman? L e l

Only stay for the gay

Imprisonment is the least of it. My girlfriend's uncle was a gay man in Jamaica that tried to help other gays. Tried to open a gay nightclub. Was macheted to death in his own place and police just called it a random break in. Nothing was taken. But case closed. No investigation.

Rasta is a whacko pseudo-Christian religion that controls women by enforcing archaic purity standards on them. The only people who think it is "cool" are abusers and ignorant white dudes with dreads who want to justify their substance use.

"you're under arrest"

"what's the charge?"

"butt stuff"

":("

When interrogating, do the cops ask there "Why are you gay?"
