		<description><![CDATA[Nothing in this post is true. It is just insane ranting, desperate to justify and rationalize bigotry and baseless discrimination.

It implies that homosexuality is a White construct (it, of course, isn’t. Homosexuality happens all over the world and always has. Half an hour of actual research would show this), it implies that it is a worldwide conspiracy to lower the population of Black folks, which makes no sense at all, of course, because, as mentioned, homosexuality occurs all over the world. It’s not specifically focused on black folks.

This whole post is ridiculous, false fearmongering, designed to make folks hate white people for some ridiculous reason.

Look, we’re guilty of a LOT of evil in this world. 
I’d even cop to being responsible for most of it. 

You know what we’re NOT responsible for?
Whatever hateful nonsense this guy is pushing.

Sadly, though, we ARE responsible for filling him with that hate. 

Organizations like NOM are evil and have a LOT to answer for.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How ridiculous. YOU have no hard evidence they’ve given the level of support you claim. SImilar campaigns perhaps because the issues are the same!

Furthermore, you have committed the ‘questionable cause’ logical fallacy. Just because there appears to be a correlation does not indicate the cause. You claim NOM are the cause so the burden of proof is upon YOU.  In any event, if they were so influential you would not have preserve marriage persons still going around trying to raise money to pay off debts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So... can you let me know what you think your lifetime spend would be with me, if we’re to give in to your demand that I follow your God’s teachings and accept your perspective?

See, I have someone offering to double it...

And, for the record, how I live my life pretty closely parallels what your God teaches, except for some of the wonky bits, like the rules he set apart for His priests (in Leviticus) and stuff, and I DO accept your perspective and will fight for you to be allowed to keep that perspective.

I justDont think it’s fair for you to demand that anyone else should HAVE to follow your religion.

Oddly, Bermuda does, too.

In fact, I’d be willing to bet that YOU do, too, when you think about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly! These bigots believe everyone should have to follow THEIR choice of religion! Here we have the proof!

This person is DEMANDING that I believe in HIS God and in the cherry picked rules of HIS religion, or face a financial backlash in the form of a boycott.


This is NOT ok. This is NOT good for our country!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Again, I have to ask you for evidence to back this up.

It’s not a conspiracy theory when they admit they did stuff.

But a nice try to defend the indefensible.

“They said they came down here to support PM, but don’t mention it, cuz thats just a conspiracy!”

Is this how low you guys have stooped?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evidence of this claim? Link?

NOM has a long history of doing EXACTLY what I am “insinuating” to claim that they only “met with a person who is affiliated with PM” and didn’t provide guidance and methodology, even through that one person, when all evidence - for instance the fact that they USE the same methods that NOM do, they spread the same misinformation that NOM do, there have been several, if not many PM supporting posters that have been exposed as foreign instigators who have used the methods of NOM...

You’re going to have to back up your claim with some proof, please. If not, we can dismiss it as yet another lie from the Anti-equality, foreign led Preserve Marriage bigots.]]></description>

None of these NOM stooges have even an ounce of integrity.

This is so bad for Bermuda.

		<description><![CDATA[“You have no links to...”

So, you admit that you came in here, lecturing, without full knowledge of the topic and the situation.

So... why should we listed to your repetitive message when it’s based in ignorance?

When you actually do some research and find out that NOM has done exactly what you are falsely accusing Carnival of doing, will you admit you were wrong? 

Or are you dead set on pushing this false agenda of “corporate colonialism”, regardless of whether it’s true or not?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And yet those same Parliamentarians are happy to put their hands out to those multinational companies and expect them to be filled.  They&#039;ve even gone so far as to admit they&#039;re after the pink dollar - what have you got to say about that Mr Joseph?

I&#039;ve just returned from South Africa and the only manipulation I saw was from the ex-President himself.  I was  there when he finally conceded defeat and the rains came down and the people were in the streets dancing for joy.  So stop playing the Colonial card, it has nothing to do with this human rights violation issue.

Oh and just for the record, I have no links either, nor am I gay but I am Bermudian, so please refrain from the hostile name calling and focus on the issue of oppression in your own country not Africa!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing in this post is true.
Nothing is being forced into people with beliefs. Their lives will change in no way at all. I have proof of this, too. People of faith haven’t seen a single change in their lives since May.
See? That is how this works. If you make a claim, back it up with facts. You refuse to do this.

As for the people promoting a global agenda being evil?
I agree. Your NOM that you follow have been promoting this agenda of hate for a long time and it IS evil. 

Like I keep saying, we’re not just standing up for what WE believe in, we’re standing up for what YOU claim to believe in.

So, I have to ask...

If your position is so strong, why do you have to resort to lies and dishonesty, as you have here, to support it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seems to me its the &#039;whatever group you belong to&#039; Jim Bob that has hijacked the definition of marriage.  But you should check your dictionary, it no longer defines marriage as between a man and a woman, but between two persons.  The times they are a changing and if you really do want to &#039;preserve marriage&#039; I would suggest you become more inclusive because otherwise marriage will become obsolete as society moves toward an inclusive definition which is recognized all over the world and carries the same benefits.  When I see an application form with (single, married, divorced, separated, widowed, civil partner-shipped) on it, then I&#039;ll concede.

As I&#039;ve said before, certain churches refuse to marry divorcees or mixed faith couples as it is against their doctrine and yet do not complain about hijacked definitions when those people get married/remarried in registry offices.  So what&#039;s your problem?]]></description>

...because you straight people have destroyed marriage with your multiple divorces, adultery, bigotry and general arrogant ignorance. You couldn&#039;t handle the responsibility.

		<description><![CDATA[So I guess all of the people at Carnival are NOT right thinking?  Them and all the other people at cruise lines such as Cunard, P&amp;O, Princess etc that are &quot;jumping on board&quot; to support the legal action(s) going on right now?

All of those people are not right thinking and should just go away?

I thought the PLP wanted to have lots of cruise ships here, isn&#039;t that what the cruise terminal was built for?  

You now want to chuck all that away because you are the right thinking people?  Seriously?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why shouldn’t they?

Do you have one single reason that they SHOULDN’T be allowed to call their relationships “marriage”?

It’s not a religious thing, as atheists and people from other religions are allowed to get married.

It’s not a “they can’t have kids together” thing, as procreation isn’t a requirement for marriage and sterile people can get married.

It’s a “Slippery slope” thing, as all the other arguments - incest, bestiality, paedophilia and whatever else folks bring up - all involve consent or redundancy and, thus, are invalid arguments.

So, what is it? Come on. Offer one reason they should not be allowed to get married.

You asked why they should be allowed to “hijack” the definition of marriage.

They aren’t. The definition of marriage is two people creating a family together and thus bestowing the rights a family gets. That is it. 

A judge has ruled that the gender restriction is illegal and wrong and has to be changed. I don’t believe that ruling has been removed or shown to be wrong. 

We had Marriage Equality for months. The definition was changed for months. Did it affect your life in any way? 

So... I ask again...

Do you have a single reason that you are willing to defend as to why people shouldn’t be allowed to get married? 
Or will you just keep posting the same dishonest, already answered nonsense?]]></description>

<p>So&#8230; I ask again&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you have a single reason that you are willing to defend as to why people shouldn’t be allowed to get married?<br />
Or will you just keep posting the same dishonest, already answered nonsense?</p>

It’s amazing that you don’t have a problem with NOM, a hate group, coming to Bermuda and forcing their will on us.

This shows the strength, hypocrisy and immorality of your position.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don’t you ever get tired of this?

You’re so close to having a point. The problem is that you want to be the one on top. You don’t want us to work towards justice and equality, you want to flip it so that you are th one with the unearned privilege. That’s why you have no problem lying and playing evil, insidious little games to support your desire to baselessly discriminate. You want to keep any sort of unearned privilege you have, yet rail against others for wanting to keep theirs.

I know that writing this is a waste of time and that you will only cherry pick for something you can twist... if you respond at all!... but I felt it had to be said. And it will be said, every time you post something hypocritical.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is wonderful news for Bermuda, our LGBTQ community seeking the right to marriage equality and everyone who supports diversity and inclusion. 

A powerful one two punch in the courts by Bermudians for Bermuda. Courage in the face of legislated exclusion. 

The global fall out from our recent legislation to retract the right to marry for same sex couples is self inflicted and very difficult to measure. The BTA attempted to quantify the impact and was quickly shut down by the Minister of Tourism. His efforts to appease the LGBTQ traveler was simply an example of too little too late. 

How do we measure the economic impact of a tweet from Ellen? 

Bermuda&#039;s reputation as a place that welcomes all people has been tarnished and this court case will be an opportunity to redeem ourselves. 

When our politicians go low, our courts have an opportunity to go high.]]></description>

Why not organize? I keep asking you to organize so that I can support you, but you never do. All you ever seem to do is try to derail a conversation about Marriage Equality and make it about ganja.
