No one is trying to stop those.
“old fashion marriage” won’t be affected at all by marriage equality.

You have no legal argument now!

You have no argument at all.

Everything you’ve posted has been shown to be incorrect, false and misleading.

You’re funny. It’s cute you think that voting on this will make any difference. It’s now illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation. The government basically just spent hundreds of thousands of tax payers dollars to make you feel like you have a say…you don’t, law is law.

“meant to be truthful”?
Are you serious? You, yourself, have been shown, many, many times, that the propaganda that you spread from Preserve Marriage has been false. You have been caught in lies over and over.
“Meant to be truthful”? You don’t know the meaning of the word!

And you STILL haven’t given a valid, honest, REAL reason that we should vote No No.

Not once.

Truthful? Not even close.

How has the Yes/Yes campaign been divisive and often hurtful?

They aren’t the ones trying to promote discrimination.

You can love and support them, but not give them access to rights.
That’s not what love and support is.

And, it has to be asked AGAIN, knowing you won’t answer, but…

How will Marriage Equality “re-order society”?

think you should know my feelings before you assume you do. both sides have been guilty of critical and hurtful comments toward the other. it’s not always ‘what you say’ but ‘how you say it’.

The Preserve marriage campaign may not intend to be divisive or hurtful, but they are. They may intend on being truthful, but they aren’t.

Regardless of the results of today’s opinion poll, I mean, referendum, civil unions will be granted in Bermuda. It’s simply a matter of time. Get over it.

YES YES

The truth is :

Same Sex couples are marginalized and disenfranchised in Bermuda.

Vote Yes/Yes to stop the oppression

Today it is the rights of same sex couples, yesterday it was:

Womens rights
The holocaust
Slavery

Where will you be in terms of making a difference?

Is traditional marriage a form of indoctrination???
How long has mankind been around?
How long has traditional marriage been around?
If one compares the two, I at least can only answer “Yes” to the first question above. My vote is “Yes” X “Yes”.

Society has been evolving for how long?

The text below is copied from Wikipedia – “Indoctrination”

Some distinguish indoctrination from education, claiming that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned.[2] As such the term may be used pejoratively or as a buzz word, often in the context of political opinions, theology, religious dogma or anti-religious convictions. The term is closely linked to socialization; however, in common discourse, indoctrination is sometimes associated with negative connotations, while socialization refers to cultural or educational learning.

Your willful ignorance saddens me.

It is horrific that you wish to deny other human beings the same rights as you.

Pondering. The Preserve marriage campaign is not meant to be divisive or hurtful, it is meant to be truthful. Unfortunately, we have news outlets posting photos of our chief justice in their opinion piece with the implication that he wrote it. We have social media and what’s app voice overs misleading people regarding the ballot. Look up the Dr. Nicholas Cummings and how the APA was bullied into changing its classifications.

If you vote anything other than NO, NO we will have same-sex marriage in Bermuda because we will have no legal argument for anything else.

Look at the preserve marriage website for more information.

No. One side is saying “give people their rights, stop discriminating against the queer community.” and the other side is saying “these people shouldn’t have the rights that we have, if we give them those rights, it’ll destroy society and hurt families and children.” So tell me again, how are both sides hurtful? Sorry if we’re hurting your poor heterosexual feelings. lol.

Slaves are in servitude to their masters and are marginalized and disenfranchised. The LGBT community are not in servitude to anyone and wield a significant amount of financial and legal prowess in this country and around the world. People were bragging about how many same-sex couples can come and buy expensive homes outright without a mortgage in Bermuda. No slave has the power to do that.

Being for the Traditional Marriage is no more homophobic than being for SSM is Christophobic. We can disagree and not hate. Does the LGBT hate all religious people or non-religious people because of their deeply held views on preserving marriage.

how can you claim to love someone yet discriminate against them or deny them their rights??? It literally makes no sense. Stop trying to sugarcoat your hate.

Deception again. Why is there a voicemail circulating on social media telling people that they actually have to tick yes to vote no?

People are intentionally confusing voters especially seniors and robbing them of their right to vote their conscience. VOTE NO, NO BERMUDA

Exactly. If you can’t see that, or even make up an excuse for why you think that doesn’t jive, then shame on you.

Spot on- we tend to tear at each other when we go public on issues.

We are not skilled on the tough conversations that connect us at a deep level of our humanity and we quickly resort to word wars – that hurt, divide and wound.

How do we generate more energy to forgive ourselves and each other than the energy we are using to hold a resentment?

All people should love and support all people, religious, non-religious, LGBT or not. Loving and supporting all people does not mean to love and support all things that they do.

Bermuda we can love one another and still VOTE NO to SSM and NO to Same Sex Civil Unions because ALL countries that have had a Same-Sex Civil Union now have a Same-Sex Marriage.

Benefits can be given without re-ordering society. VOTE NO, NO BERMUDA BUT READ THE BALLOT, IT MAY BE CONFUSING
