I do not agree the LGBTQI community face persecution in Trinidad although I would like to see specific legislation to offer more define protection against discrimination. Recently the radical evangelical fundamentalist movement in Trinidad has become more aggressive against them.
With that said, this particular case has nothing to do with Dillon being a gay man and it is curious he was granted protection under this. A case could have been made under political grounds.

I find your headline NAUSEATING.It does not suggest a reasonable person with an open mind penned it.

Dukes, if that's what the man is then that's what the man is. Let the title stand. Emir, like I, may not be too given to euphemisms.

"LGBTQI" eh? When it was LGBT somewhere along the line I picked up what the T meant. Now somewhere further down the line I'll hear what the Q and I mean. Wonder what will be added next.

Thank you. This site is a lot of picong, ole tork and exaggerated drama- thus my headline- a lil fun nah and a throw back to my young days when the term bullerman was used and it was never meant in haste, so thus I ignored poster Dukes dotish comment, had he only read past it he would have got the story.

The way I see it, this is an evolving thing and the more we learn the better we as a society will be. In my days we only knew of bullermen and we didn't even know lesbians existed until perhaps the 70's and now look where we evolved to LGBTQI with QI meaning queer

Re "bullerman", give you a joke... As an exchange schoolboy Cadet at Chagaramus in the summer of 1968, one night we heard a running and rumbling outside with people shouting "Buller, buller...". Unused to the term, and curiosity about the commotion, some of us Yardies went out to investigate. Two T&T boys allegedly were caught in the act. 
Of course, our term is "battyman". The other interesting word family I came away with is "horn, horner, hornerman" (and of course nowadays, "hornerwoman"). Nearest we come is "Joe Grine"

Surprised that they would accept "Q = Queer". But the "I" must stand for something too. (Not really asking you to tell me; I could look it up but am not that interested.

In those days you had to "watch yuh ass" as we use to say
In a serious note, Gays were never persecuted,, disrespected or discriminated against in my young days. Us men, just saw then as different and weak so much so it was common for them to lime with our wives.
The mosque and church just left them alone and there was no preaching of damnation against them.
It is only recently the evangelical american church started preaching against them and then it spread with evangelicals in other countries.
Now with respect to getting "horn," let me tell you, dat is de worse that could happen to a man and many a hornerman would just vanish never to be heard from again.
I am no longer in "d grun" in Trinidad, but I believe the "honerman" is still serious business

Q for Queer
I for Intersex
Not sure dat dey are all mutually exclusive

Intersex eh? So what's wrong with the word "hermaphrodite"? But I suppose I was asking a similar question when they usurped a perfectly proper word, gay, when "homosexual" was there already. And how aggrieved must the good folks of the island of Lesbos feel for the usurping of their dear demonym "Lesbian"! They should sue. LOL.
Still, thanks just the same, Maispwi.

De acronym wudn have the same ring to it. Imagine instead of LGBTQI which sounds like one of those string of letters behind an important lawyers' name, there was just HH?
Now ah may have offended lawyers somewhere

In reply to Maispwi
I guess you would still need the B-- BHH, HBH, HHB? I think HBH could work; let's start a movement.
Lawyers, salesmen and car mechanics I wouldn't worry about offending.
