Justin Taylor: The men, three of them HIV-positive, are desperate to get out of their home country, where people often live in constant fear of physical and sexual violence that commonly overlooked by law enforcement, according to Metro News. The money, says Rainbow Railroad executive director Justin Taylor, would go toward airfare and other related costs, including travel documents, clothes, luggage and local travel and After they were all kicked out of their respective homes and lost their jobs, five gay men in Jamaica took shelter underground in a storm sewer. But soon the police discovered their temporary home, and a grate was put over it, leaving them to wander the streets. It will cost $34,000 to get the men to safety. Rainbow Railroad, a Toronto-based charity that helps people in countries where it illegal to be gay to flee from violent persecution or imprisonment, has taken up their cause.
