All partisan politics aside, gender discrimination is right out no questions asked. Bahamians of every type will benefit when 50% of the population is treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.
I'm so sick of seeing every discussion regarding human rights violations boil down to, "We cannot allow this to happen because we need tourist dollars." This is about ethics people, not economy. If you cost/benefit analysis of the situation places monetary interests ahead of human rights, you are the problem.
Don't you think a Rachel Maddow special might just be the coverage we need to have these problems addressed? What is the solution? Sweep injustice and human right violations under the rug because we need money?
It's ok, I'm going to interview the detainees this week and post it all over youtube. After that, I'll send the videos straight to Amnesty and the Guardian. We can all get together with Mitchell and talk about how soon he can vacate his position.
