🛟In Conversation Thomas Glave and Jason Okundaye🛟 @jamtraveller @jasebyjason On experiences of being queer in Jamaica, reasons to live here, loving Jamaica and the Caribbean, and colonial inheritance. "A lot of the young queer people who are very queer, trans-non-binary vibes, very real as we say in Jamaica very flamboyant, they are taking risks more than anyone before. I do believe the fabric is changing" - Jason "A lot of the problems we have in Jamaica come directly out of British colonialism, my cousin was imprisioned under the same law as Oscar Wilde" - Jason #tciq26 #blackandqueer #blackqueerwriters
