Agreed with Tal, Jesus=love. On another note why is he not as passionate about the dysfuntions going on in the church and our general society. The Pastors sleeping around, pimps in the pulpits or the general hypocracy u get from religious people these days. Considering his status on the world stage, u would think he would consistantly express outraged about the 84 murders, hundreds of robberries, burglaries, assualts, sex crimes, thefts and the list goes on. How about the poverty and the multitude of kids born out of wedlock to some deadbeat dad or married man. You see the problem is Christians or religious people cannot throw stones at these people because our house is not even made out of glass, its made out of toilet paper. At the end of the day he can say whatever he wants because he will always be living good, eating steak and drinking wine, while the rest of us are worried about eating, paying bills & not being a crime victim. He lives under top level security and can live in beautiful enviroments anywhere in the world so he does not have to deal with the struggles and suffering of many Bahamians. What all the problems we have in this country this event does not even show up on my radar..I don't have the luxury of worrying about this non threatening event, I'm to focused on protecting my family, staying alive and providing financially. Lastly i have never walked in Grants, Bain town or any area worried about some gay or transgender individual robbing, assualting or killing me.

Salem witch trails, inquisition, Jihadist, mid east conflict, september 11, conflict in Ireland, slavery, etc etc I can go on forever about the hertrosities committed or justified in the name God. Using scriptures considering the murderous history of religion y'all cannot be serious. How many millions have died as a result of religious wars, persecution. Religion was used to justify slavery.

Agreed Banker..

84 murders, corruption on every level & especially the church, pastor cannot stop having sex with congregation, husbands have multiple kids outside of marriage, wives sleeping around, unemployed young men every where, piss poor education, overcrowded jails in horrible condition, citizens are hostages to crime, debt increasing exponentially, VAT, illegal immigrants taking over, Bahamian's barely scrapping by economically, Country sold to foreigners. Yet we have time to worry about peaceful gay pride event.. Our priorities are messed up. Those gay individuals will return home to their jobs and peaceful communities after this, Our people will be left living in fear of crime or trying to survive another 4 hour BEC power outage.

John, come on man, driving on the wrong side of the road is illegal. Consenting adult marrying or sleeping together is not your or my business. I'm not gay but I don't force my religion or personal faith on others. Until I can walk around with some feeling of safety in this lawless land we call home the last thing i'm worried about is gay people getting married. Lastly its the ones who are straight or religious that are breaking all the laws of God & Man & destroying this country. Hypocrisy. Have u ever seen a car full of gay or trans gender individual riding around Nassau Robbing or killing people. Even when i'm in the U.S the gay communities are affluent, peaceful, beautiful & in the high crime areas a church is on every block.

Who cares... when u go to sleep at night do u worry about gay this or gay that or some robber, murderer, rapist, breaking into your home and killing you. People are hostages to crime in this country, the probability of being robbed or killed is high, Ms. Green or some gay person getting married should be the last thing on our mind.

She is right legally.. My thing is let them suffer like the rest of us with child support, alimony, over weight spouses we don't like no more, stress, complacency, & general annoyance. Marriage is hard work & it fails 50 percent of the time. Why are we fighting to stop the m from sharing the torture they been skipping out on for so many years. Come get some of this torture gay people u been partying to long

We cannot arrest our way out of this, there is no place to put them & the problems deep. The poverty, poor education, unemployment, irresponsible baby making feeds the crime. Then u have an influx of illegals putting further strains on the system. We've got to stop the illegals, stop the irresponsible baby machines, and focus on educating young kids. Its sad to say that many of our violent criminals, young men of a lost generation are so far gone that life in prison or death is the only solution for them. They are now harden killers..

HAI, PC, Ping, all have failed the nation over crime. I agree with much of what John has said. We have not invested well in our own people. This mentality that foreign is always better has killed us. Our leaders did not see the big picture in the late 70's and early 80's which in my belief is when we started heading on this downward spiral with drugs and crime. Education and Family planning should have been at the center along with economic empowerment to prevent this. But we now have 2 lost generations of kids particularly boys and the 2nd generation is extremely dangerous. Nobody knows how to fix this ignorance going on because changing the hearts and minds of kids can be done, but trying to reform grown ass men is a challenge. There is no time for politics, plp/fnm/dna and all of us better come up with a plan before we all end up like Haiti.

This is madness, give these people the $300 they request, in fact give them $600. Those are horrific conditions to work under, there should be armed gaurds at all emergency rooms & police response to back up EMT when responding to critical incidents especially considering the crime problem we have.
