Secondly, doesn’t god love and accept everyone for who they are?

there is no reason why LGBTQ+ is wrong other than religious beliefs, which is a belief. Not a fact

Why is it that you lot never seem to be able to actually have a conversation about this? It always degrades into this ridiculous trolling.

Here’s what grown ups do… when someone points out a flaw in their thinking with facts, logic and data, they take that on board and, if they ARE wrong, admit it and change their position.

You, however, are so desperate to hold on to some ridiculous unearned privilege, you don’t do that. You just ignore anything that is said or written and make ridiculous, pathetic personal attacks.

As for my “banjo”, I’m doing more good for this island with this “banjo” that you probably have in your whole life.

I say “probably” because we don’t know who you are, as you don’t even have the decency or integrity to talk garbage about someone to their face. You have to hide like a little worm.

You’re a joke and you’re bad for our country.

If this IS your country. You could be just yet another foreigner trying to influence Bermuda for the worse…

That described bermuda to a ‘t’

Do you not see how pathetic that is.

You accuse me “and my family” of supporting the OBA, which is a lie, based on ignorance and desperation.

If you have to lie in order to support your position, why keep supporting it?

Grow up,

None of that is true.

And YoU lot brought up the “it’s unnatural” argument.

Why do you folks have to be SO dishonest, all the time?

I like how you set up a bunch of straw men, countering arguments I didn’t make.

NOM was crucial to the formation of PM and the tactics PM uses are straight out of their playbook.

The difference between them and Equality groups is that every argument PM and NOM use is based on a lie. Every single one of them.

I also love how you admit that they DID get support from them, but then call me ill-informed for pointing out that they got support from them!

Your entire post is ridiculous and desperate and false. Just like Preserve Marriage.

And “the majority didn’t want it” is a lie.
Weren’t you JUST denouncing this as happening because of a lie. Yet here you are spreading lies.

That’s unfair and it’s hypocritical.

Your first paragraph is literally saying “How dare they be intolerant of those that are intolerant of them?”!
It’s ridiculous and it isn’t a counter to “it’s just people celebrating”.

Are you actually saying that people should tolerate the actions of those who try to harm them by removing access to rights for absolutely no reason? Seriously.

And I didn’t pepper spray anyone. In fact, I spoke out rather vocally against the pepper spraying.

But you keep lashing out, trying to denounce in any way you can… you’re on the wrong side of history,
At least you won’t have to face up to this nonsense you’re spewing, safe behind your hood of anonymity…

This makes bermudians proud…proud to loudly show the world that the island is full of bigots.

I recall the fight for equality happening in stages.
I recall the Stubb’s Bill and the brave people who fought for it,
I recall Two Words and A Comma, a completely different group, looking to add needed protections to the HRA.
And I recall yet another separate group getting us marriage equality. Three times.

Do you really think that Mark Pettingill is the only person that fought?
What he said didn’t change the course of this.
The changes HAD to come because the restrictions and omissions are illegal and unconstitutional.

What’s telling is that you denounce a “lie” about this, but you don’t denounce the lies spread against equality.

And, finally, your entire point is irrelevant, as this is about Pride.
You’re just desperately flinging mud, hoping it’ll stick.

Pride is about community. It’s about support. It’s about celebrating who people are and their freedom to be who they are.

They have the right to do so and to denounce them with some ridiculous smear campaign is hateful.
(And it’s not hateful because you disagree, it’s hateful because you came here it’s the intent of defaming your fellow Bermudian citizens for absolutely no reason in an attempt to smear their right to get together as a group.)

Shame on you. This kind of thing is bad for Bermuda.

Weird how you folks never address that and always frame it like it’s just a disagreement.

A disagreement is “It’s not for me”.
Anything that has a negative effect on someone’s life because of a simple “disagreement”? That’s hate.

And they weren’t covered until just recently. To say the LGBT+ community was “already included” is a “…straight up manipulation of the truth”.

YOU PEOPLE are bigots and hypocrites.
YOU PEOPLE hate the UK, but want them to perpetuate your hatred.
YOU PEOPLE make me sick.

Billions of people on this planet and people are terrified that letting gay people get married is going to lead to humanity dying out.

If there WAS a reason, you would be able to have an actual conversation about this.

But you can’t, so you’ll run off without saying anything other than you wanting citizens of this country to be hurt for no reason.

It’s bad for our country and it’s bad for our world.

Shame on you.

No standards.
