Personally, it does not matter to me. I feel that by isolating the gays we have forced them into a corner and, like anyone who is forced into a corner, they will fight.
I am concerned that we lost sight of the wider picture in all this and, as a result, hurt ourselves.
McWeeney did say that a No vote on Bill 4 would leave the door open.
From an economical point of view we would have been better off with a Yes vote for all the Bills. It now looks as if we will have a poor economy and same sex marriage. Where is the wisdom in that?
Spoken like on who would do whatever a Dictator told him to do. A good meek and mild sheep.
By your argument the people of Venezuela should be happy with Maduro and endure the suffering that he is putting them through.
Their economy is in terrible shape and you will be appalled to hear that some dared to protest and object.
Minnis failed to make any contribution on a matter of major importance to the Country. He is the Leader of the Opposition, speaking out goes with the territory.
Minnis failed to do his job on this, and has failed throughout the last 3 years.
The political affiliations of the parents have nothing to do with those of the children.
If some, in Long Island, are up set because she stood up for something then we, as a country, are in serious trouble.
She was correct to put pressure on Minnis. He wanted to be leader and, having got the position, sat back and did not perform. LBT was being a responsible member of the opposition to call him out on it.
The FNM needs change and she is pushing for it. Without change the party is doomed.
So how are they going to deal with FedEx and the other couriers? Look at the tracking of parcels when you send one. Some items are delivered from here to the US in under 12 hours.
It is never a good idea to corner anyone. By the No we have cornered a number of Human Rights groups.
Don't be surprised if they now challenge everything, including Articles 15, 24 and 25 of the Constitution.
By whipping up such a storm over same sex marriage and denying women equal rights, a number of lawyers, supported by scholastic thinkers outside The Bahamas, working for Human Rights are considering launching a number of actions.
I am going to sit back and watch......should be fun to read peoples responses. Gays have never bothered me as I am a very comfortably heterosexual. I have always wonder why real men are so scared of gays.
Gays have contributed to our society for thousands of years, in the arts, entertainment, architecture etc. so I welcome them as my fellow human being and appreciate them for their contribution to man kind.

They didn't. But now that the churches highlighted this and have pushed gays into a corner they will fight and test the law.

Wait it was YOU the men of Church who could get everyone to vote NO. So now get everyone to abide by the 10 Commandments.
Seems to me it is the Church that is failing to tackle crime..

Check what Fred Smith Q.C. said, in the papers a few weeks ago, about Article 15.
Fred Smith has one just about everything so far. If he feels that Article 15 can open the door and he challenges it then the No will have become Yes.
