To the unseasoned traveler, Trinidad & Tobago, is often seen through rose colored glasses. However, to those of you that have actually been here, I'm sure you are well aware that we Trinbagonians, as friendly as we can be, also live with a mental cancer called, IGNORANCE.
Some would argue 'well isn't it that way everywhere,' dare to read ahead and you tell me.
This will be an ongoing web series that chronicles my attempt to quash the blatant DOTISHNESS, (that's a Trini word meaning dumb AF) that is rampant here.
This series will continue so long as the bullshit remains, which could be a while...
Today's episode covers Trinidad & Tobago's 'Buggery Law', that is due to be discussed in Parliament tomorrow. This law minus all the fluff, makes it illegal to have anal sex, and homosexuality loosely by extension.
I was already aware of this, hence my initial post in the picture above.
Slightly annoyed, next comes this-
"Concerned Citizen's of Trinidad & Tobago,"
trying to rally support for a protest to KEEP, the Buggery Law.
Considering that our economy is in shambles, unemployment and crime are beyond frequent. We also happen to be within swimming distance of Venezuela and everyone knows how awesome things are there right now.
Yet THIS BULLSHIT is what they are discussing as CONCERNED CITIZENS.
Thankfully, I was not alone,
Outraged trinis, young, old, gay, straight, EVERYONE had something to say on the issue.
For the woke AF shit-show in its entirety see here-
But for those who just want some appetizers,
Here are some of my favorites.
Enjoy.
You see the shit I have to deal with on a daily? Why leave the fuckin house? They're out there. @-@
Considering this was all posted on a public forum, the page of which can be found here-

I didn't blur shit. I stand by what I said, and until rectified so do they.
And people wonder why brain-drain is so bad here. Sighhh.
So rather than completely wash my hands of the place that made ME (as tempting as that is) I am actively trying to leave it gentler than I've experienced it.

If you've made it to the end, you're either really pissed off or hopefully had a good laugh, despite how despairing the situation appears at this time.
But some guy, somewhere, once said
'The day will come when the pen shall conquer the sword!'
Well it's 2018,
And it's done with a keyboard.
Peace.
