(MENAFN- Caribbean News Now) By Akilah Holder
LGBTQIA advocates in Trinidad and Tobago are exploiting the death of thespian, Raymond Choo Kong, in order to advance their gay rights agenda. In fact, this is evidenced by the fact that no official motive has to date been given by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) for the death of Choo Kong. The TTPS has only proposed several theories about his killing.
Significantly, this is not the first time that the gay community in Trinidad and Tobago has sought to further their agenda through piggybacking on the murder of a gay man. Not long ago, when Keon Allister Patterson ('Sasha Fierce') was killed, gay rights advocates seized the opportunity to cry once again for rights before a motive had even been established. They clamored once again for their rights when playwright, Gregory Adam Singh was murdered in his home, even after police officers, according to a 2018 Trinidad Guardian report, described his killing as a 'crime of passion.'
It is the same thing that they are doing today with the killing of Raymond Choo Kong, a killing for which there is still no clear motive. It is, therefore, clear that the gay community's suggestion that the death of Choo Kong was a hate crime, going as far as to suggest that there is a serial killer targeting older members of that community, is nothing more than an attempt to manipulate citizens and law-makers into approving and accepting their behavior.
Significantly, this has been the modus operandi of the gay rights movement internationally. In the United States, for example, when gay student, Matthew Sheppard, who became the poster boy for the gay rights movement was murdered in Laromie, Wyoming, the gay community immediately moved to capitalize on his murder.
Within days, the narrative of a gay man being killed because of his sexual orientation began to take shape. BBC.com article, 'Matthew Shepard: The Murder that Changed America,' reports that then US president, Bill Clinton, while addressing an assembly of mourners on Capitol Hill two days after Shepard's death, referred to Shepard's death as a hate crime.
However, years later, an investigative journalist by the name of Stephen Jimenez, debunked the initial story that Shephard's murder was a hate crime; his investigations revealed that Shepard was murdered because of a drug deal gone bad.
These findings were documented in Jimenez' book, The Book of Matt: Hidden Truths About the Murder of Matthew Shepard. A New York Post article reports that according to Jimenez' assertions in his book, 'Shepard's tragic and untimely demise may not have been fueled by his sexual orientation, but by drugs. For Shepard had likely agreed to trade methamphetamines for sex. And it killed him…
'Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, now doing life for murder, were not homophobes, writes Jimenez. Shepard was lured from a bar, then driven to the outskirts of Laramie, Wyo., where he was robbed. McKinney savagely pistol-whipped Shepard with the barrel of a .357 Magnum. The men then hung him, barefoot, freezing and barely alive, on a fence, in a pose resembling a crucifixion. He died six days later.
'But McKinney was no stranger. Strung out on meth for a week before the slaying, writes Jimenez, McKinney likely had been Shepard's gay or bisexual lover.' Gay rights advocates clearly manipulated this story to advance its agenda.
Ironically, Jimenez is a homosexual himself.
Like advocates in the US, advocates in Trinidad and Tobago are in the habit of milking the murder of gay individuals to further their cause.
Again, no clear motive has been given for Choo Kong's death; so their cry that Choo Kong's killing was a hate crime and that there is quite possibly a serial killer on the loose who is targeting older gay men, as the Trinidad Express has reported, is just another attempt to garner support for their cause.
