'VI must talk about same-sex marriage!' – Doug Wheatley
He was speaking on the radio talk show Speak Out BVI aired on ZBVI 780 AM and touched on a range of topics including medical marijuana and gay marriage.
“There is something else that the community does not talk about here neither does the Government offer any official position on gay marriages and this is something that I am going to discuss at a convenient time on the show,” he said.
“Our collective approach as BVIslanders to the whole matter of gay marriages but so far we have had no official comment from the Government, the Cabinet or anybody on that,” he said.
One man who called into the show said, “We are a Christian community and we are not interested in gay marriage!”
Wheatley said in response, “I think what is going to happen is that eventually we are going to have a discussion or debate on it and the views will come out from the religious and other aspects. Eventually there will have to be discussion on it because the BVI will be confronted with it one day and we ought to have our position on it.”
But just as the host was about to conclude the show another caller said that he does not care whether his neighbour is gay, since he would prefer a gay neighbour rather than one who is a criminal.
“As far as I am concerned gay people are ten times better than wife beaters, guys who impregnate young girls and drug dealers and drug users,” the man said. “People breaking into your house when you go to work are more detrimental to the community than gay marriage. These people don’t bother nobody,” the caller said.

The ndp atlarge team with the likes of m...n and a....e wont have a problem with this.
This can be changed when men take their rightful place in families and lead in a godly fashion.
