J-Flag, the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays, is an LGBT rights organisation in Jamaica, founded in 1998, and works for the human rights of lesbians, all-sexuals, and gays in Jamaica and the world. It is part of the Caribbean Forum of Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (C-FLAG). LGBT civil rights organisations outside the country highlighted homophobic bigotry and violence in Jamaica before the founding of J-Flag, most publicly in the Stop Murder Music campaign calling for censorship of homophobic lyrics in dancehall music,〔"(Silencing Jamaican musicians fuels censorship debate )", ''FreeMuse.org'', 8 May 2008.〕〔"(Pride and prejudice )", ''Guardian.co.UK'', Thursday 9 December 2004.〕 and sexual minorities remain at risk of physical violence.〔("Jamaica Human Rights: 'Battybwoys affi dead:' Action against homophobia in Jamaica" ), ''AmnestyUSA.org''. May 2004.〕 The group runs the Stop Murder Music campaign jointly with the Black Gay Men's Advisory Group and OutRage!. In response J-Flag offers legal reform and advocacy, education, and social services and support. The group was unable to continue regular safe-space/fund-raiser/social events, lymes held monthly until August 2001, due to the inability to accommodate the growing number of attendees.〔"(JFLAG Jamaica - Events )", ''JFlag.org''.〕 They advocate inclusion of sexual orientation in the Jamaican constitution as well as on behalf of individuals seeking asylum in the United Kingdom and Canada.〔"(JFLAG Jamaica - About J-FLAG )", ''JFlag.org''.〕 ==See also== *LGBT rights in Jamaica *Thomas Glave 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J-FLAG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
