Seven transvestites were Monday fined a total of US$225 (GUY$45,000) for dressing in female clothing and three of them were fined an additional US$30 (GUY$6,000) for damaging a bus trunk while retaliating against people who were troubling them because they were gay. Chief Magistrate, Melissa Robertson-Ogle, in handing down the penalty of US$37.50 (GUY$7,500) each observed that a number of the males were confused about their sexuality, as they were at pains to explain to the court what they were wearing and why they preferred that mode of dress. "It’s a curse on the family. Go to church and give your lives to Christ,” the magistrate told them.
They were each placed on US$50 (GUY$10,000) bail and ordered to return to court next month to answer the loitering charges. Quincy Mc Ewan,24, of Norton Street Lodge; Seon Clarke, 28, of Bent Street and Leon Conway, 38, all pleaded not guilty to the charges of being attired in female clothing and loitering on 6th February at North Road, Lacytown. Clarke's defence was that they were clad in "unisex" clothing and had arranged to meet in the City to attend a show at the National Cultural Centre but at the moment the police suddenly swooped down on them.
Among the descriptions of clothing they gave the court were "passa passa" tight jeans, a jacket with tights, hard jeans, a jacket and tube-top. But the prosecutor insisted that the accused had been all wearing skirts at the time of their arrest. The were each fined for being a being a man in any public way pr public place for any improper purpose, appears in female attire. But another four transvestites-- Anthony Best ,21, of Bourda; Joseph Fraser ,21, of Norton street; Joshua Peters, 21, of Victoria Road, Plaisance, and Seyon Persaud, 20,-- all pleaded guilty to wearing female attire and damage to property. Their clothing-descriptions included a jersey and overcoat, a skirt and designer top, a black dress, and short skirt with red top.
Police said that on 6th February, the quartet were nabbed, dressed in female clothing. The transvestites said they had worn those types of clothing. They added that they were unemployed because no one prefers to employ gays. The prosecution, supported by the virtual complainant Steve Dunlop, told the court that Fraser stole one cellular phone from him valued US$450 (GUY$90,000) and also pelted a bus drunk resulting in damage to the tune of US$60 (GUY$12,000). Dunlop alleged that Best was at the Timehri Bus park when a number of persons began troubling him and Best later returned with several others and began belting despite his plea for them not to do so. The four were each ordered to pay US$10 (GUY$2,000) for damage to the bus trunk.
