PNP-YO: fight homosexuality –
Friday November 16, 1979 (Flashback)
The PNP Youth Organization says it is seriously concerned about the growth of homosexuality particularly among certain students and is calling on its members and youth in general to take steps to “combat and remove this activity from the Jamaican society”
The organization said the matter has been made more acute in the face of increasing economic hardships which made young people more vulnerable to financial manipulation by adult homosexuals.
At a PNP YO Central Committee meeting over the weekend concern was expressed over certain social ills and the committee said it was calling on Government, the PNP and the Jamaican people especially the youth to take immediate action.
A second matter was the growing increase of hard drugs including cocaine which the YO said was being pushed almost openly among young people.
The Organization claimed there had been very little action by the Police Force and the state in this matter and suggested that the Security Forces concentrate on the distributors pushers and users of hard drugs rather than the present harassment and prosecution of ganja smokers.

In addition the YO called on the Parliamentary Committee investigating the use of ganja to speedily complete its work and make recommendations to government.An advice also went out for the youth not to allow political tribal war to recur.
