While one group is promoting a denial of rights to Bermudians for absolutely no reason?

Where’s the respect in that?

This isn’t about a difference of opinion. The anti-equality position actually hurts people.
This isn’t about opinions, it’s about actions that are affecting people’s lives in a very negative way, for no reason at all.

Im happy to have cleared that all up for you.

there is a difference between rights and privileges, even those people on your side keep trying to misconstrue the differences between the two.

#2 the premier Votes against the bill- I will state I am shocked and state once again he is out of touch touch with the people and I may ask him to resign
#3 the premier votes in favor of the bill – I will state he is no better than me and my colleagues so therefore is not fit to lead this country and may ask that he resign.

Grow up

the shameful 20 who supported the bill: Reprehensible – Anti-equality – Pro-discrimination = Legalized discrimination.

in my mind it is abhorrent that people with albinism are discriminated against, hunted and killed in certain African countries in 2016. equally, this legalized discrimination against same sex couples in 2016 is equally disturbing and WRONG.

We are not just getting along. There are people right now who do not have the same rights as others. Who are you to deny them these rights? Human rights aren’t up for a vote. A proper constitutional democracy must uphold the will of the people, but it must also guarantee to protect minority rights.

I am ashamed of our elected leaders. They have left the most basic principles of democracy outside on the steps of parliament, for what?

The vote should never have taken place.

I don’t mind if people are not okay with SSM i’m fine with people not being okay with gays, my mother and father are among them. It is their right to have those views but the moment someone steps on my rights or blocks me from them I’m not fine with it.

and why shouldn’t be harsh with those that block rights while all the while spouting that they are doing what is “Right” and “Moral” trying to claim moral high ground when everything they do is opposite. How do you not rage at someone who refuses to have a proper conversation but instead goes “The Bible says…” then sticks their fingers in their ears and ignores everything that is said.

When it going to rights and human rights no the majority should not be able to choose. If that were so then women would have the rights they have, blacks wouldn’t have the right they have (still need to work on this) . and the message wasn’t clear because the majority didn’t vote, has it not struck you that there is a possibility that if they had come out they would have voted yes? supposing all the no votes were what was given? it would mean the no’s would be the minority.

And yes we can all get along when we all have the same rights and we are all equal in the eyes of the law. But until then no because I should have to be a second class citizen in my own country.

At least be consistent with your hatred OJ!

Bermuda is indeed another world. A backward, navel gazing one.

Memo to BTA and the BDA – STOP all of your hard work and long hours to promote Bermuda. The PEOPLE THAT WE VOTED FOR TO REPRESENT US in the House of Parliament just made us the most bigoted nation this side of 2016.

So the PLP must have decided to have someone hang themselves as a hater by bringing the bill. PLP too cowardly to have the blood on their hands.

Either that or the PLP has not recovered from their recent implosion.

I sat and had a cold beer after reading all this crap on this page and others.

Someone yell Zeka……………………………..

That will be the demise.

You know this already though don’t you. Agree with Onion or not, like Onion or not, doesn’t matter but at least have a legitimate counter argument.
