West says they interviewed about 2,000 people across 40 communities in Jamaica, looked at the predictors of anti-gay bias and developed a measurement.He says the result confirmed what he called a suspicion that Jamaicans, in general, hold very strong prejudices against gays and lesbians.He says religion which is normally used to support anti-gay views was not the most reliable or strongest predictor to explain the views of Jamaicans.West asserts that the most reliable factors explaining Jamaicas attitudes towards gays were gender and the preference for dancehall music.The researcher says the study provides the first empirical evidence that dancehall songs may be harmful, leading to more negative attitudes and anti-social behaviour. THIS IS SO problematic. from freedom of speech to this!
