Exactly they weren't! Well don't use the phrase "equal opportunity for all Bahamians!" because clearly it is only equal opportunity for some! Equal spands far beyond gay in The Bahamas because there are second generations of Bahamians of Haitian descent who face inequality; because of there ancestry but does this phrase of equal opportunity apply to them? Of course not! All I am saying if you are going to say something as political as equal opportunity for all then be 100% equal for all bahamians or rephrase your argument.
I am proud to see my people standing up for something. Way to go but be careful what you ask for. This is a march of equal opportunity. Last time I checked, in today's world equal opportunity is most relative towards gays and the LGBTQ community. I understand that The Bahamas has a growing LGBTQ Community everybody knows at least one gay person whether it be a close relative or someone in the job market. Are you truly advocating equality and rights for Bahamians? If this equality isn't inclusive of gay rights then I say change your wordage. 'Then let it be we wan play numba's' or what ever colloquialism is suited for this environment.
