It isnt about their tolerance level though..a marriage license will not be issued in such a case to enable them to marry the people.
sorry no shortage of them they ready to go

Technically, if you read the Marriage Act there's nothing prohibiting them from getting married; as the Act isn't specific instead of saying man and woman it states parties-and that can be interpreted as anything. But the argument can be that when the act was written there wasn't a growing problem of homosexuals as it is now. And although a constitution should change to reflect a growing society-this is one law that because everyone seemingly shares one view it won't change.
It actualy an unwriten policy where homosexual sex is grounds for divorce that same sex couple can't be married but hey it only an unwriten policy. What do you think will happen when it is legaly challanged??

I been posting this info for a few years now.
and you all playing like you surprised..

I dont even know what to say. The law on this point seems to be equally split so that it's a real gray area of the law. The conservative school argues that custom prescribes marriage as being a union between a man and a woman and there is some case law from the UK leaning towards that direction(viz Fitzpatrick v Sterling Housing Assoc (UK-CA)).
The liberal school contends that to hold to such a position would be anachronistic in light of changing social morals and values. It would be discriminatory to hold that heterosexuals can marry while homosexuals cannot.

dunno about the distinction being made as to conservative, liberal schools of thought, as the judge in the california case was and IS a moderate republican:cutie:. if anything, he seems to have taken the libertarian stance that a=a.

I suggest that the gay community find two homosexuals that intend to get married and they file an originating summons with the court to determine the question of law.

mmmmmmMMMMmmm you could we already got the T shirt to.

I AGREE NATION. THE LICENSE WILL NEVER BE ISSUED IN THE FIRST PLACE...:cutie:
Hate to say it but how can the deny it.

If you love someone and they love you and you both want to get married.

More power to you.

I dont know if its legal or illegal. But it seems stupid to wish and want to stop two people who choose to commit to each other.

Dont know if people are ready to accept that...but people should try harder.

Welcome to BI enjoy the good stuff take the bad stuff with a pnch of salt and don't take much to heart. Hi every one meet Cassy she and her partner are going to challange the unwriten policy.

Oh and you heard it here first BI news ahead of all the rest.

The law is ambiguous at the moment, and open to interpretation. The law needs to be definitive and clear about the precepts of legal marriage in this country. If the issue is pushed agressively enough, then maybe a refurendum would be in order to clear the air on the matter of same sex marriage.

You should pray for their deliverance. There is a God.

Is this law (Marriage Act) in anyway infringing on the human rights of homosexuals? No no, dont tell me that's obvious. Show me the citation, and the right OUTLINED in the Bahamas Independence Order.
