Mental disorders are not to blame for ignorance and hate, the only thing to blame for that is fear of change, selfishness and small mindedness.

Now going a step further.if a same sex union/couple wish to raise children, how is the child suppose to affirm their own identity when two adults of the same sex are married and purport to be the child,s parents would not the child have a twisted mindset and values imposed into his/her life. Will we as a community be able to embrace the troubled child/teenager when he /she engages in some deviant behaviour,not necessarily sexual.It may be violent or malicious in nature. What rights does the Registrar General,s staff have, with this new turn of events, will they be subject to disciplinary action for failing to issue a license to marry.

Also, no one is holding up divorce, or single parenting as an ideal. These are things we all understand can happen but no one aspires to have. We already understand that families tend to do best with both the parents it took to create them.

Our laws certainly do have a lot to do with the values of one religious group namely the Church of England. You asked to be corrected if you were wrong, well yes you are wrong. The Italy case is of significance.

The Bermuda Human Rights Act 1981 reads:

AND WHEREAS the European Convention on Human Rights1 applies to Bermuda2: (page 2/3 on-line-check it out)

Italy, France, Eastern Europe, England, etc are member countries of the European Convention, so the European Court on Human Rights (ECtHR) may hear cases from any European Convention country. These rulings, as per our own Human Rights Act 1981 have some implications in Bermuda. What happens in Canada and the US, for example do not have the same influence on our laws.

Not only the case in Italy, but another in France, June 2016 again before the ECtHR (Chapin & Chapentier v. France).

Basically, the ECtHR continue to rule that SSM should not be forced on any country and should not be decided by judges but by the people, particularly in a democracy.

Bermuda is the only country in the world to try and force SSM through 1 judge. Even the US used a panel of judges.

Also, you make a claim as to how “Preserve Marriage” should spend its time. The organization and its members have counseled numerous married and unmarried persons, gay/straight and in-between. Please don’t claim to know the heart of the many people who have been on the front lines rebuilding and fighting for marriage and this community long before the whole SSM debate ever came to the forefront.

Sin and man tainted the marriage institution with bad customs, however, the sacred sexual complementarity necessity was apparent.

Your arguments are a bit overused. It’s apparent that an attack on marriage refers to the Timeless institution of marriage and what defines marriage as a whole, not your specific relationship.

Marriage that is redefined has no definition at all, it becomes nothing more than a friends with benefits contract. There is no longer any reason to stop at 2 persons or any combination of a group of people who “love” each other from getting “married”. It means nothing, which is the real intent. To destroy its value. Look up Marsha Gessen’s comments.

If your assertion was true, then why doesn’t Eastern Europe or All of the countries within the European Union have SSM. No one is obligated to have SSM or SSCU under the law.

Explain why other countries in the EU don’t have SSM.

Misleading, Propaganda campaign?? People can see who has a Misleading, propaganda campaign. Let’s see, 2 words and a comma (Human Rights Act amendment) led to this whole situation. The misrepresentation told to by Pettingill to get that passed in parliament, led to Pettingill being allowed to work in government while suing the government based on the very changes in the human rights act that he made while attorney general.

Also, PM is not defining marriage for everyone else, marriage already has a definition. It is others who want to make up a definition and redefine marriage for everyone else. Pot and kettle situation here.
