Bahamians give mixed reaction to US same-sex marriage ruling
Ikaliki: Imagine this scene in court, gay divorce hearing, a man's lawyers tells the judge my client deserves to be maintained to the standard of living he is accustomed to. Reply, But your honor he's a man and can work...Nope he deserves spousal support u 2 are married and by the way he gets the kids and you have to pay child support. He also gets half your pension, investments and to keep the house. Before this ruling 2 gay dudes could be living together, something happens and each go their separate ways and take what they brought to the relationship. Be careful what u ask for... As a straight man I wish for a law that discriminated against me getting married, I could envision how much money I would have today. U don't need to be married to name someone in your will or trust to receive your assets and that way also u can change it as u please if this person does no longer act in your best interest. In America, now that the government is involved you're screwed. I support gay marriage because gays have been happy for to long while the rest of us have been doing hard time. Every gay person I know, always on vacation, always going to wonderful events, always cheery, well enough already come join us straight people in the torture chamber especially us men.

If you feel marriage is torture, that is your prerogative. Every person should have the same rights before the law though. It is basic justice. The UN Declaration of Human Rights is a fantastic document that, if implemented globally, would increase human happiness and help make people focus more on themselves and their own issues, rather than being caught up in hating and judging others all the time. Bahamians love to reach for the splinter in everybody else's eye while ignoring the logs... nay forests, in their own eyes. The sooner we get away from this bogus fire and brimstone evangelical Christianity, which basically destroys any and all chances of first world education, the better. If this country wants to be first world, then it has to embrace first world values. If it wants to be a two bit Banana Republic with third world politics and a third world economy, then that is their choice too, but you can't have it both ways. Bahamians want all the benefits with none of the education, none of the sacrifice, none of the progress and none of the work. Worst of all, our leaders keep lying to the people and telling them they can have their cake and eat it too. While the corrupt church and the corrupt politicians rule, the country crumbles before our eyes everyday. Everywhere you drive, the ghetto is growing and the ghetto is a mentality long before it manifests in reality.
Where is unemployment at again? Oh right... don't mind those statistics or reality, we will eat PLP yellow cake at Carnival!

I agree with PKM and banker ................... our biggest problem is not gayism ........ its the heterosexuals who are raping, scheming, abusing, divorcing and abandoning their spouses and children .................... maybe things would be better if Bahamians were all gay

Those who oppose the march of Human Rights in the Bahamas should be ashamed of themselves. The Bahamas, simply put, is an immoral society that hides its ugliness under a veneer of pompously false Christianity (even the Bible warns of false prophets and this island is full of them), expressed must sublimely by the archaic institution known as the Christian Council, who's mere existence should insult every democratically minded and freedom loving Bahamian. A choice lies before us.
The sooner the country shifts to a truly progressive, liberal and enlightened world view - not the sham world view that is the PLP - and embraces real human rights and scientific thinking and begins to actually properly educate its youth - that is the moment the country will begin to grow and excel again. That takes leadership and vision - that takes dragging the sheep to their better future against their will.
Until that time, it will continue to sink into the quagmire of false morality, ignorance, poor governance and violence. The choice of first world or third world is one that every Bahamian must make for themselves, but failing to choose the first world way means we will not have a first world education system and we will never develop a first world standard of living again because the jobs of the future need those who can think scientifically, not those versed in long irrelevant bronze age bible verses. If we do not grow as a culture and we do not change as a people, then those days of first world standards of living will be part of our past and third world politics will dominate our future. Investors and those who are educated will leave and the country will be left to the overly religious, the criminals and the ever growing Haitian under class. Choose wisely. Make no mistake, this is a crossroads.
