We won in Trinidad. Now it’s time to end all homophobic laws in the Commonwealth https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/13/trinidad-homphobic-laws-win-case-commonwealth?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other BERMUDA On May 5th 2017 Same-sex marriage became legal. It was a sort lived victory, as the government set about reversing this #Humanright with cynical legislation backed by #fakefacts and lies. Between the Government, Preserve Marriage, "some" religious institutions and the #media, the BIG LIE was told over and over again to justify that the country was not ready for #marriageequality. They repeated the #fakefacts over and over again. Indeed they were so good at their lies that even the global media parroted these false numbers. FAKE NUMBERS In 2016 a "Non-Binding Referendum" was conducted in #Bermuda on the same day the Brits voted for #Brexit. Less than 33% of all registered Bermudian voters said NO to Same-sex marriage. Indeed 53% of all voters stayed home. We surmise that many were aghast that a government would have a vote over equality. Further WHY VOTE in anything that is "Non-binding" ?? FAKE FACTS - 68% voted NO ! In the quest to justify reversing Same-sex marriage the Government, Preserve Marriage, "some" religious institutions and the media claimed 68% of Bermudians said NO to marriage equality. This repeated lie is there for all to see, again, again & again. On February 7th 2018 the Bermuda Government reversed Same-sex marriage in Bermuda after the Governor signed the Domestic Partnership legislation into law. Bermuda became the 1st (and only) country to reverse Marriage Equality. MAY 21st & 22nd 2018 A constitutional legal challenge in the Bermuda Supreme Court in front of Chief Justice Ian Kawaley will argue that the Bermuda government took a way a right. That taking away a right of equality is indeed "Repugnant to the Constitution". This lawsuit by Rod Ferguson, represented by former Bermuda Attorney General Mark Pettingill is being joined by Maryellen Jackson, OUTBermuda, CUNARD CRUISES and lawyer Rod-Attride Stirling PLEASE SUPPORT our #crowdfunding for this most important legal challenge to protect equality and the Human Rights of all Bermudians.
