So because you don't find her fashion appealing what she says doesn't matter? You say you want people to come out of the closet but you unfairly criticize those who are out and trying to make a difference. Try to listen and understand her arguments instead of focusing on her appearance. Be the ally you seem to recognize LGBTQ Bahamians need.
The church is a special interest group. It seeks to have policies enacted based on a particular set of beliefs not rooted in fact or genuine concern for all people. If that's not special interest I don't know what is. And Brandon is quite right. This argument that marriage should only be between a man and a woman because only that combination can reproduce is nonsense. We don't require fertility testing before marriage, we don't prevent people no longer capable of reproducing from getting married and we don't penalize people who are able to have but don't want to have kids. Based on your logic, one would assume that all "traditional" families are stable, happy homes for children and we know that's not the case. And what is "traditional marriage" anyhow?! One man,one woman is hardly the norm in the bible.
So to follow his logic we should promote "strong, loving functional families" not because they are good for all persons and do not have a prescribed makeup but because they will stop the "homosexual avalanche"?! I hope more and more people see this and recognize it for the bigoted nonsense that it is.
