SAME LOVE BERMUDA

Dec 8, 2017
FRIDAY DECEMBER 8th, 2017 will be remembered as a tragic day in Bermuda as the Government trample on #LGBT rights.
TODAY, as we remember the death of John Lennon, Bermuda will sadly introduce legislation to OVERTHROW Same Sex Marriage. http://www.royalgazette.com/news/article/20171207/conscience-vote-on-domestic-partnership-bill
This is a sad day in the history of Bermuda. We will never accept this heinous legislation that reverses a right granted by the Supreme Court of Bermuda.
See posts below from folks who are aghast that Premier David Burt and the "Progressive" Labor Party are going to make #Bermuda the 1st country on planet earth to reverse marriage equality by changing a "RIGHT" granted by the Supreme Court of Bermuda on May 5th 2017. this government will go down as huge violators of civil and human rights. They are evening going to rewrite the marriage act so that it "TRUMPS" the human rights act. It is a disgrace of global proportions. Furthermore, the loss in Tourism revenue will amount to tens of millions as this news ripples globally throughout the gay community: "Do NOT GO to Bermuda".
Cruise Lines and Hotels will all lose business as a result. This is economic folly and madness.
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THE LGBT COMMUNITY?
What side of history do you want to be on?

It will be a very sad day. Power reveals its of ugly head again. And they said they were for all of the Bermudian people. We have enough people leaving this country now, with this decision more will go. There is way too many hypocritical people in this country. I hope this does not effect your family one day. Government please change your minds.

PLP? More like RLP (Regressive Labour Party) or DLP (Discriminatory Labour Party). Being that they're currently being both regressive and discriminatory - either could fit.. Maybe even both

As I have said time and time again, discrimination on any front is discrimination and should not be tolerated. Period.

I deserve to be married in my own country like my identical twin sister (who happens to be straight) and not "domestic partnered". My 8 year relationship is worthy! Our son deserves that!

I'm signing this as a Bermudian living in the US because I don't want to see Bermuda go backwards and I believe that all people should be able to marry the person they love.

We are all ONE...there is no excuse for labeling anyone less equal because they are different....as long as you LOVE, that's all that matters....we are not to judge anyone or take away their right to love whomever they choose!!
