> The vast majority of Bahamians want the sanctity of a 'marriage' between a man and a woman preserved
The only way this can happen is by a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between one biological male and one biological female and a second connected amendment restricting parliament from legislating marriages that do not meet that definition. These current Bills do not make judicial challenge suddenly possible, those challenges can happen right now, today, without any of these Bills ever coming into existence. Same sex marriage today in The Bahamas **is not unconstitutional**. There is nothing in our Constitution today that prevents Parliament from enacting same sex marriage anytime it chooses. Parliament can enact same sex marriage right now as we speak, without any of these Bills being in existence. This is what most Bahamians do not understand.
All four of these Bills are Ingraham's Bills. Why do you keep saying the PLP has an agenda? They didn't make these Bills up, they are literally the same Bills passed in 2002 under Ingraham. Copy and paste essentially.
I think Bahamians are masters at false equivalences. Are all vendors guilty of selling drugs? Are all jet ski operators rapists? Are all Bahamian vendors rude and belligerent? Are no Bahamians supposed to be vendors to tourists? I'm not debating the issue of the fencing here, but the issue of Bahamians in the tourism industry.

The only thing I can do to **this** statement, is laugh out loud, loudly!
