Jamaican MP GETS NASTY LETTER IN PARLIAMENT - Gay man sends him naked photo

Parliament erupted into a frenzy yesterday after Member of Parliament (MP) for South-west St Ann, Ernie Smith, revealed the lewd and shocking contents of an envelope that had been delivered to him.

While Smith was sitting in parliament yesterday, a small envelope with his name and the address of parliament neatly type-written, was delivered. The stamp suggested that it was mailed from Stockton, California, in the United States.

But this letter, as the member of parliament discovered, was not sending best wishes from his admirers on the West Coast. Instead, it bore a picture of a nude white male, with his legs spread wide. A small hand-drawn arrow, pointing towards the man's anus, was bordered by the instructions, "Lick Here!"

overrun by homosexuals

The member of parliament, who had created quite a stir during the 2009 debates about the Sexual Offences bill, when he declared that gays in Jamaica were becoming too brazen, has made no apologies for his strong stance against homosexuality.

In fact, Smith had declared that the Jamaica Constabulary Force was overrun by homosexuals and had also said he was very concerned about the fact that gays in Jamaica were becoming bold enough to form themselves into organisations.

Upon receiving the crude letter, the MP was visibly annoyed and infuriated. He later told THE STAR, "Homosexuality is in itself one of the most vulgar practices that can be engaged in, so I am not surprised that homosexuals would descend to acts of vulgarity, such as this one. But such vulgarity will not stop me from speaking out against homosexuality."

He added that the letter was clearly meant as an attack against him because of his strong stance. He also suggested that the homosexual community in Jamaica was trying to "destabilise" his constituency.

He said, "They believe that if they can have persons in parliament who support their indecency that the day may well come when we descend into the immoral state of legalising homosexuality."

The MP declared that he was in no way shaken by the letter and said, "No prince, no king ... no combination of powers can stop me from having the view that I have. My position is clear.

If my father was a homosexual, I would not have been born and if my mother's father was a homosexual, my mother would not have been born and I wouldn't be here to make the contribution I am making to this country, and to the world at large."
