As we differentiate between born and paper Bermudians as per the talk show should a born Bermudian have more say on issues?

Just like yours , my ancestors came from somewhere else . Like all Bermudians .
And on one side of the family they were slaves too a long time ago.
But we don’t discuss it (ancient history) just got on with making the right decisions and working hard .
Sorry, not going anywhere at this point .

……….

it’s really hard not to respond with swearing but I’m going to try.

First to answer the stupid question that you already knew the answer to, No the didn’t.
They didn’t need to ask because as you full well know the researchers can tell the gender of the animal in question and thus if two male or two females are the same way as a male and female of the species then that a good indication they are gay, there are clearly other requirements that the researcher look for but in most cases the animals meet those requirements.

We don’t allow incest and infanticide be cause we as culture no longer deem it appropriate behavior for a quite a few reasons, which again you know full well. We pick an choose things all the time based on the views and beliefs at the time but it doesn’t change the scientific facts.

These reports are not “perceive”, these are properly done scientific reports that prove that this behavior is occurring is happening in the wild, in nature, thus making it natural which is proves Bob’s point about it being unnatural as wrong.

So did anyone ask those wild animals if they are gay? No? Then how do they know they are? BTW, there are also cases of incest and infanticide among wild animals that is natural, so why don’t we allow that too? We can’t just pick and choose things that we perceive as “natural” because we feel it suits us.

The irony of The Scum Newspaper printing this.
Suddenly they are looking out for gay people ??

This shows what you get when you vote in a prehistoric bible bashing government though.

Shame Bermuda isn’t one of them.
No morals involved in promoting discrimination.

But you don’t have a problem with that, do you?
You like discrimination, as long as it’s YOU doing the discrimination, right?

The comments on the U.K. articles say the Bermuda people have a right to deny gay marriage. Sorry but the whole world is not in support of it nor do they care about attention seeking stories like this.

Get your head out of that cloud of self made delusions .
We’ve got one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world and if you think tourists aren’t on the list you need to be reminded of the Antje Herkommer and Middleton debacles.
‘Safe’ yeah , in your own mind . I bet you think we’re suddenly a paradise again after a brief lull in 2012-2017 .

Has anyone considered that all of those deeply Christian and religious people already choose to NOT come here based on our historically embarrassing out for wedlock birth rate , the preposterously high rates of infidelity , the shootings , crimes against tourists , the foul , un-christianly language one is exposed to anywhere on the island 24 hours a day , much perpetrated by schoolchildren ? Shall we even take on the behavior of certain church heads and ‘pastors’? And the list goes on and on .
Two different Bermudas OJ ? Huh ?

“Has anyone considered the possibility that tourism could benefit as the religious and conservative crowd will have a more favorable view on Bermuda and potentially visit? ”

You’re right. The religious conservatives overwhelmingly embrace gang violence, homophobia and racism. I’m sure they’d flock to an island with such a high percentage of alcoholism and unwed mothers.
Bring on faith based tourism, that’s where the good money is!

That’s what the old slave masters used to say too… trying to explain to their kids…. fast forward 100+ years… how stupid did they sound? That’s exactly how you will sound once the law changes and Bermuda becomes “in it and on it”

It would be interesting to know exactly how much the shipping registry contributes to government coffers. I’m thinking that if all the cruise lines decide not to renew we will definitely miss the fees. Not to mention new cruise lines considering running cruises stops to the island.

Highly likely that they will all consider changing registration to elsewhere. After all business is business and weddings bring other cruise passengers in the form of the guests.

Such a shame ‘civil marriage’ was confused with ‘holy matrimony’. One is man’s acknowledgement before his peers the other is man’s acknowledgement before the church of his beliefs. A person will always have to acknowledge before his peers as legislated by civil laws. The other is optional according to his belief.

I heard someone say we should target the bible thumping Christians to Bermuda who agree with the PLP and Preserve Marriage.

Well, we tried that with Faith Based Tourism back in the platinum period of Tourism. We all remember well how that little fiasco turned out. Then we had the invited speaker who felt that more extreme measures should be taken against gay people…and he was chucked off the island.

How many gay couples stole money or were invited to spew hatred?

This action by the government proves that Bermuda is not safe as it shows that Bermuda is willing to make people second class citizens.

By: Reuben

How is it unnatural? there are hundreds of documented cases of homosexuality with wild animals proving that it is very natural. And it’s very easy to explain it to children, the fact that you’re too lazy or too scared to do it isn’t justification for denying people the same rights as every one else.

Many don’t the horrors that are going on in other tourist destination. those things don’t take place in Bermuda.
