Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller has again said that decriminalizing gay sex is not a priority for her government in the latest sign that she intends not to honor her 2011 election promise to do so.

Simpson-Miller told Television Jamaica, ‘We have to go to our constituents, consult our constituents and then we go with the decisions of those consultations.’

Simpson-Miller would not say when those consultations would occur.

‘I can’t tell you when because you’re going to hold me to your timeline,’ Simpson-Miller said.

Simpson-Miller said her government had to ‘take tough decision,’ but added that the issue, ‘does not impact in a serious way the majority of our people.’

Jamaica’s Minister of Information promised that the parliament would vote on the issue before the end of 2013 and its Minister of Justice claimed the vote would happen before the latest sitting of parliament ended in March this year but neither came to pass.

The next Jamaican election is due to occur between December of 2016 and March of 2017 so if Simpson-Miller is to deliver on her pledge it would have to be before then.
