How can they delicately convey to people upset at these decisions, that Bermuda remains light-years ahead of its Caribbean neighbours when it comes to gay rights (despite the significant rollback)?

Only PLPers would say Bermuda should learn from Jamaican’s example.

Progressive? Nah, more like regressive.

You momma named you ‘mixitup’?

“The real dummies are the ones”….who blindly follow the bigoted plp.

So, you’re a bigot as well as OJ?

Bravo on your honesty.

I think it’s hilarious and laughable that ‘people like you’ think that removing rights from a segment of the population is actually a step forward. It’s not, it’s a step back and proves that the plp and its followers are nothing but bigots.

Replace the word “gay” with “black / white / female…” Given the choice of where to spend your money, would you choose to spend it somewhere that isn’t friendly to “black / white / female…” people? No, not when there are so many other places to chose from.

You don’t see too many refugees trying to get into Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan.

According to Pew research – “Worldwide, roughly two-thirds of the countries that allow gay marriage — 17 of 26 — are in Western Europe,” Pew said. “Still, a number of Western European nations, particularly Italy and Switzerland, do not allow same-sex unions. And, so far, no countries in Central and Eastern Europe have legalized gay marriage.”

So out of the 195 countries in the world only 26 of them allow for homosexual marriage, and 17 of them are in Western Europe.

It’s not biased for that to be repeated online. Apply the gatekeeper of supremacy label where news is suppressed, not expressed.

LOL, spoken like a true, selfish, angry bigot.

The signs are all there people. We are on a very slippery slope.

They are no different from the Human Rights Commission right here in Bermuda.

Whats bizarre is that the majority of countries that due support SSM are ex colonial countries or countries that wiped out the original native populations.

“Worldwide, roughly two-thirds of the countries that allow gay marriage — 17 of 26 — are in Western Europe,” Pew said. “Still, a number of Western European nations, particularly Italy and Switzerland, do not allow same-sex unions. And, so far, no countries in Central and Eastern Europe have legalized gay marriage.”

South Africa is the only African nation to have made the unions legal, and New Zealand and Australia are the only countries in the Asia-Pacific region to have done so. Pew noted that Taiwan’s highest court ruled in favor of gay unions this year but gave Parliament two years to implement the ruling.

“Not surprisingly,” it added, “same-sex marriage has advanced mostly in countries and regions where acceptance of homosexuality is high.”

Standing strong…..ha! I think you have made everyone’s predictions of doom come true.
