I didn’t know this was permitted. From the Ministry of Truth, you can’t ever retreat from progressive dogma. At least in SocialismLand.

just guessing Bermuda respects the beliefs of its bakers, caterers and photographers more than we do.

For the entire last generation, everything we hold dear has been under assault by BOTH PARTIES.

American jobs have been shipped to history’s biggest communist nation, and both parties have been EAGERLY participating in this massive sell-out. For 30 years.

Now, we are seeing a small country saying no.

No.

It is just a small start, but maybe it is exactly what is needed. Good job to them.

And when the gays boycott, Bermuda can run their “Fag-Free Family Fun Under the Sun!” promotion. I’ll go.

This is like overturning the legality of owning a Unicorn.

There’s NO SUCH THING as gay marriage.

Interesting, but I highly doubt a wave will follow. In fact, I presume we see more countries legalize gay marriage before we see more countries reverse on it.

Pssst NPR, not every nation in the West even acknowledges same sex marriage yet.

But your bias is showing...

At least in some of those states where prosecution occurred, those states didn’t even recognize same sex weddings themselves when they prosecuted private businesses for not honoring same sex weddings. Liberal lunacy and homofascism.

There are many cultures in this world which wouldn’t even consider normalizing gay behavior in ANY way (never mind “marriage”); while more governments might legalize it, every day in this world a lot of people are born that will oppose it to the death - while many who support it are ageing and dying.

Eurabia has many governments that legalized it, and their countries have growing areas where gays dare not show their faces...

Good. If the LGBTxyz crowd stops going there, it will be much more enjoyable to go there on vacation or honeymoon.

So, the politicians of Bermuda have come to their senses. God willing, the rest of the planet will follow. But I ain’t holding my breath.
