I agree it will be sometime before you see that. And part of the reason is these people don’t want to be recognized as ‘ gay’ in this instance but as ‘females’ Remember they had to change the Carnival route a few times because some guys decided to overdue the dancing and wining like gals part. They were met with violence. Remember now Junkanoo supposed to represent Bahamian Culture. And whilst Bahamians may tolerate the gay people dem to a certain degree, tge average Bahamian does not endorse or promote homosexuality. And even Black families in America are still coming to grips with it. Many gay males have been cut off by their families and were told point blank by parents ‘ do what you want to do when you out there, but you ain’t bringing no other man in this house. And tge gay marriage thing was more for show than anything else because even many gay ( Black) men who are active in that lifestyle will not go to the point of getting married to another man.
Well if a male goes into a club looking for hamburger and he finds something and carries it home only to find it s not a hamburger, but a hotdog and two boiled eggs, what should he do
This transgender thing may become a serious issue at Junkanoo since a number of groups have agreed to allow gay participants to ‘shake up, wine up, prance and dance like gals.’ Not a new thing to Junkanoo but a new level where these gay dancers will almost have control of the traditional ‘all female’ choreography section. Expect retaliation. . . So when does this matter at hand become a hate crime? Donald Trump says if he ever becomes president again, ‘every individual will have to identify as either male ir female depending on their sex at birth, regardless of their sexual preferences.’ . . If a man is in a club dressed as a woman and his nature is found out, wasn’t his intention to deceive people into thinking he was a female/woman? And if the security, by orders of the proprietor of the club asks you to leave, but refuse and end up ( by your own admission) ‘bursting the security guard/bouncer in or near his eye with a perfume bottle, that accidentally fell from your bag, during a scuffle with the bouncer, then didn’t your provoke yourself into getting the beating that you got, or at least some of it? . .You hear guys talk all the time of how they traveled to Nee York, LA and other parts of the US and went into a club and had an unintentional encounter with a transsexual woman. Not only are men traumatized by the experience, but the heckling and teasing that comes from their friends afterwards.
. . And NO, proprietors of clubs may not have the right or need to ban people with alternative lifestyle from their clubs, but they have a duty to maintain the integrity of the club and protect other patrons. Once the word gets out ‘bey don’t go in there, that’s a sissy club.’ Either the club will eventually become a gay club because straight guys will refuse to go there, or it will close down.
Remember the last general election had one of the lowest voter participation in the history ofThe BaHAMAS. So whilst Brave and his new day government may have been elected by the majority of voters who voted, he was also allowed to get elected by the registered voters who didn’t vote. That last election was one where ‘your vote matters,’ or ‘make your vote count’ rang true. And even if one didn’t want to vote for any of the major parties at the time, going out and voting for an independent candidate or third party would be more effective than staying home Upvote0

brave davis seems to be shocked by everything he or his party does wrong or fails to do. including the fuel hedging for BPL. The man is being shocked too much! No wonder BPL having these high electricity bills and all these power outages. No wonder
Don’t forget as Florida’s Governor, DeSantis rehired the two white policemen who were fired and jailed for sodomizing an Haitian immigrant with a nightstick. Speaks volumes for his racist personality. As bad as Trump calling Haiti a sh@thole nation.
SO, with the stamp and seals barely placed in the West End and Grand Bahama and Bimini Elections, the IMF is telling those people of that constituency that the near Billion promises this government made to you is vapor in the wind. Government is up to its ears in spending now so no way it can take on the additional burden of financing barely any of those projects much less completing a minimum of them in three years.
Government spending ( outflows) money three times faster than it is taking it in. In a period when they ( Brave Dem) say the economy is booming. So what happens when the economy slows down next year as anticipated? If you can’t achieve fiscal projections when money is freely flowing, imagine when it starts to drizzle. ONE problem is too much of the profitable revenue ( tourism sector) is not being taxed or being under taxed. And they continuously turn to bahamians to make up the shortfall. So essentially they are taxing ( squeezing) Bahamians out of the economy. As taxes increase Bahamians have less disposable income, businesses have less revenue to grow and expand and surely cannot compete with the foreigne businesses that incur no tax or little tax, so more and more Bahamian dollars are being taken out of the economy and so government revenue declines as taxes increase and the economy becomes stagnant. So you have an Atlantis vs Bain Town economy.
