View Full Version : Gays say they can marry in the Bahamas
Vicky 05-22-08, - 06:39 PM I am not bashing Vicky, but it gets a little old sometime when it seems this is what every thread turns into, a pity party for Vicky!
Any way I gone home!! My day has ended, my only regret is that I even went on this site this afternoon!
What you people can't handel is the fact I am who I am I don't want praise I don't want pitty. Many of you can't understand I am unashamed of who I am what I believe. I am in your face and I don't back down.
Text does not show emotion non of this goes to my heart so say all the crap you like about and to me. I'm here I queer get used to it.
Ever thought if you people backed off of trying to drag me (or GLBT)through the gutter we could actualy have some good discusion.
Vicky 05-22-08, - 06:43 PM I NEVER SAID IT WAS LEGAL OR NOT I SAID THAT IN THE MARRIAGE ACT THAT IS WRITTEN AND WRITTEN THAT IS ON PAPER THAT IT NEVER SAID ANY THING ABOUT SAME SEX NOT BEING ABLE TO MARRY.
SO IF IT IS ILLEGALL WELL SHOW IT TO ME AND THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL NOT ISSUE IT IS BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT IT TO BE DONE HERE.....
NOW I AM OUT
and at that point you can take it to court if you so choose.

What do you mean
truth_hurts12 05-22-08, - 09:06 PM Ahhhh, I gat a question. What law in the bahamas says that gay people can't get married. Heck it happens all the time here. It's just that usually one of the people getting married usually don't know they getting married to a gay person.
As I re-read your post, I will assume that you were being facetious... However, in spite of your wry sense of humour, you have inadvertently raised some real issues facing todays homophobic Bahamian society...
You happen to be absolutely correct, in that, in our homophobic society gays do marry heterosexual partners. IMO, in most cases, this is a result of social pressures. And yes, usually when they first get married their homosexual orientation is unknown to the other spouse. However, because of their ever present "true nature" and repressed homosexuality, the gay partner eventually becomes extremely neurotic and/or seek unhealthy outlets for their homosexual urges.
How many times we hear through the "gape wine" that "Mrs. So and So, or Mr. So and So came home unexpectedly and caught their spouse in bed with a same-sex lover". We all have a good laugh and can not understand why the "roached" partner could not see that their spouse was "gay from the start..." But we never stop to think about the tremendous pain and suffering that these individuals and their immediate families maybe experiencing, nor do we seem to care. :confused:
I had a close relative who my family suspected was gay from his adolescence. However, as "good" Bahamian families do, we all pretended normal. This relative married and had three children from this union. Eventually his wife found out about his secret homosexual liaisons and banished him from their marital bed. They continued in the marriage, but led separate lives. He stayed in the lower level of their luxury home and lived a "down low" gay lifestyle, while she and the children lived in the upper section of the home coping as best as they could. The children ended up in counselling, the oldest was even suicidal. Eventually, the marriage ended in divorce... :taped2:
I submit to you, that we all know of a family member or friend in similar circumstances... Our homophobic society has destroyed lives and yet we refuse to "take a good look at ve self" and change for the better. If we become a more humanistic society and allow individuals to live "open" and "free" in regards to their sexual orientation, to develop healthy same-sex relationships, and yes, even be allowed to marry the person of their choice, then we would live in a healthier, happier and well-integrated society... :angel:
This whole thing both gays having the right to marry always does make me laugh, because they are not being denied the right to marry, but are being denied the right to marry someone of the same sex.
And no matter how you "twist and turn" this issue, when you allow heterosexuals to marry and deny these privileges to same-sex couples, that is discriminatory... :footmouth
Now if it becomes a right to marry the same sex, where do we stop.
Whats to stop someone from marrying two people at the same time if everybody cool with it.
Or what would stop us from marrying animals, a lot of us like our dog more than people anyway.
Ahhh phooey, thats alls I'm saying on this subject.
Now you have ventured from the sublime to the ridiculous, and even you know that... :taped2:
Simply put, there are no reasonable arguments that can be presented in the case for same-sex marriage, which can clearly refute the fact that these individual's basic human rights and equal protection, under the law, are not being violated... :hammer:

But everyone knows this...how many times do u have to say it. U are not getting the point ppl are sick and tired!
Give it a rest..perhaps u need to take another weekend off from posting!
truth_hurts12 05-22-08, - 10:25 PM Point to a question directed to Cassy that I answered?? oh and if you notice post 214+ people responding to a question for Cassy.
In jest, I attempted to illustrate how you were dominating the discussion on this thread, as if "you think that this thread was about you"... :sarcastic
You even stated that you had, "single-handedly", orchestrated the entire matter, after Ms. Cassy and her betrothed come to you and RAB for assistance... IMO, as an advocate, it was unnecessary for you to disclose this particular bit of information to the public... :footmouth
Interestingly enough, in the newspaper article where Ms. Erin Green spoke on behalf of RAB, on the subject of same sex marriage, at post #1, she never once mentioned Ms. Cassy and/or her intention to challenge the "archaic" policies of the registry department and marry her same-sex partner...
I also expressed concern over your "inappropriate" use of the term "sacrificial lamb", in regards to Ms. Cassy and her partner... knowing all too well of the extreme homophobic attitudes in our society, and having, both my partner and I, been victims of violent "gay bashing" on more than one occasion... :hot:
Had you taken time out to read my contributions on this thread, you would see that I am wholeheartedly in support of Ms. Cassy... Instead you responded with mean-spirited attacks and attempted to expose personal information that, you well know, could bring harm to my partner and me... :realmad:
I pray that Ms. Cassy and her fiancé are taking careful notes of your character, and I hope that when you and the RAB are through with this episode in their life, you do not abandon them, ridicule or belittle them, or violate their confidentiality by attempting to expose their private affairs on a public forum, if they happen to have a disagreement with you and/or the RAB in the aftermath... :hammer:
Vicky, as one mature member of this forum to another, PLEASE GIVE IT A REST...

Morning Cassy,
How does this compare to a gay man or woman?
What If I said "Why not talk about the older gay men and women of our society that are molesting younger males and females?"
You see you cannot take 2 wrongs to make it right, it wont work.
I cannot understand how you feel for I have never walked in your shoes but sometimes we cannot try to justify what is wrong by pointing out another wrong.
I say wrong because I personally feel it is wrong BUT then on the other hand I shall not bash you in anyway, thats your life and your judgement.
You must defend you and your point of views and why you feel it is right but you cannot do that by pointing fingers at other wrongs....
Here let me help we are talking of 2 consenting adults do not link pedifiles with homosexuality 2 very different things. BTW most GLBT hate pedifiles maybe more so than str8s.
YardManPickney 05-23-08, - 12:31 AM Hi too all,
I MUST SAY MANY PEOPLE LIKE TO BASH MS. VICKY AND SHE IS NO THREAT TO ANYONE, BUT EVRYONE IS A THREAT TO THEIR SELVES IF THEY LET ANYONE ELSE BE A THREAT TO THEM LOL.
Please do read other forums with this character, the character is not innocent and can be vile, Dont Feed The Animals.
New Comer many people are tired of Vicky/Victor mainly because whenever a topic is being discussed and things are said somehow that BI character in responses somehow always make the topic about her. Even when many times some things are said and they arent about that that character. Then the character when told it isnt about her or please tone down her rhetoric she claims that we on BI are just ignorant and she is trying to inform us of her situation. She ASSumes that because many dont agree with her opinions they are not getting her message. I think this is why people are getting annoyed because they are aware of the situation and they feel bombarded with unnecessary information they feel they already have adequate information. So, they feel she has an attention issue, or just get problems. I have not read anywhere where people say Vicky you can not be Vicky. Tho this person may be a friend dont believe for a second that people here are just bullyin the character cuz nuttin a go so. Go read many other forums then post in defense of the character, so you can get a balanced view of the situation. Also many gay persons are on the site and even some of them are tired of V-icky
What you people can't handel is the fact I am who I am I don't want praise I don't want pitty. Many of you can't understand I am unashamed of who I am what I believe. I am in your face and I don't back down.

Confused, Deranged, Delusional, Egoistical, Narcissistic and Mental Paralysis are just some of the words that come to peoples mind when they read this persons post.
Vicky 05-23-08, - 06:50 AM But everyone knows this...how many times do u have to say it. U are not getting the point ppl are sick and tired!
Give it a rest..perhaps u need to take another weekend off from posting!
then they should stop bringing it up its that simple. Do you know how much nicer these threads would be if people laid off the insults??? They don't bother me but right is right and wrong is wrong.
Vicky 05-23-08, - 07:03 AM In jest, I attempted to illustrate how you were dominating the discussion on this thread, as if "you think that this thread was about you"... :sarcastic [QUOTE=truth_hurts12;271633] got you people here is proof truthhurts uses adidas id and has influance over him. http://bahamasissues.com/showpost.php?p=271478&postcount=226[QUOTE=truth_hurts12;271633]
You even stated that you had, "single-handedly", orchestrated the entire matter, after Ms. Cassy and her betrothed come to you and RAB for assistance... I think you read more into things than that there. IMO, as an advocate, it was unnecessary for you to disclose this particular bit of information to the public... :footmouthuh you better re read someone said we would need to find a gay couplke to marry I said we got the t shirt to. Cassy introduced her self as the t shirt.
Interestingly enough, in the newspaper article where Ms. Erin Green spoke on behalf of RAB, on the subject of same sex marriage, at post #1, she never once mentioned Ms. Cassy and/or her intention to challenge the "archaic" policies of the registry department and marry her same-sex partner...
