‘Openly gay couple’ allege being treated ‘like garbage’ by UK expat in VI
The Facebook post made on May 20, 2016 by a Pinky Callwood has seen the “couple” receiving huge support by members of the Facebook group, with many condemning the alleged behaviour of the expat.
According to the Facebook post by Callwood, the couple came “back home for a vacation and to introduce my husband to my family.” Callwood further said his biggest worry coming to the VI was having “the locals giving us grief” for being an openly gay couple.
“But boy were we wrong. Although we had a few funny looks and the odd comment from a couple of locals but nothing can compare to having an homophobic expat from the UK treating us like garbage on our last night. He threatened us with violence and spoke with such hatred in his voice it was unbelievable. He actually pushed a woman who stood up for us.”
‘Can’t help being gay’
Callwood said he only knows the person as “James” and described him as being about 6ft 2 and “chunky with it.”
“Well James, we can't help being gay, it's the way we are born, but you can do something about your attitude towards other human beings. We aren't all the same, and if we were the world would be a very boring place.”
Callwood then expressed thanks to a Karen Vella Freeman, who he said stood up not only for them but for people's right to be who they are.
“Also, thank you to all the local people that we have met on this trip for accepting us for who we are,” Callwood said.
Support
Among the many persons who offered support was a Stevie Ball, who said he was sorry to hear about the alleged incident and that hearing of it made him very mad.
Beth Brown said: “Don't let this one jerk (I would use a stronger word in person) taint your trip. It was wonderful to see you, and I'm so happy I got to meet Andy. Have a safe trip home, and see you on FB!”
Chris Sisneros White added: “I agree with the rest, don't let this one bad apple taint what sounds like a great visit. Honestly, I was a little worried for you, after everything you went through before you left. I am so happy that your homecoming was a wonderful experience, I only wish we could have been there to see you guys!”
Authur Authorious posted: “A small amount of the population has accepted the LGBT life that some have embraced and a large amount of the population has been practicing tolerance (finally). Glad no harm came to you two. Could be in a worse situation...could have been open Atheist lol.”
Stephanie Kerins wrote: “So sorry this happened, Pinky Callwood. I'm not sure why it was anybody's business but yours...and love is love no matter who you love. My Uncle Rex used to say "There is no fixing stupid...Some people, like the Do-Do, just have to die out !" Safe travels...”
‘Fantastic trip’
Meanwhile, Callwood’s ‘partner’ Andy Magraw wrote: “....Other than that one Neanderthal, it's been a fantastic trip. Also for me to see Pinky's home and meet so many of his friends and family has made this a truly wonderful vacation.”
Magraw also said there's no helping people that are too stupid to just enjoy their short time on this planet.
“Hopefully, we'll be back within two years.”

Suit them right, with dem n*$tines!!!
Nobody was born gay. Being gay is wrong and nasty!!! Stop trying hard for people to accept yall, we dont want that bull here!!
I guess you gay and nasty too! Run way i!!
Who knows you might even like it
These really are the last days that we are living in because men and women had no shame now, they are parading their sin all over the internet because Satan has them bound. Come out now before it is too late or you will be burnt up in a lake of fire! I know I will get bashed by many for my comment, people will try to say oh sin is sin which is true but the sin that is the topic here on this news site is what is up for comments.
Romans 1:18-27 says:
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
I find it funny how people sin every day, and only remember that homosexuality is among all the other sins of the world. "For we all sin and fall short of the Glory of the Lord." Let people live, they have to answer for themselves not you or anyone else.
If you believe in your comment be brave and show your face and let everyone know your name.
You won't dare because you know that what you are spouting is wrong and against Christianity
Show your face if you really believe this nonsense you are spouting.
Personally, I have an indifference to homosexuality. It's all a matter of choice to me. I read persons saying you born such and such a way, I just shrug at it all. I prefer mashed potatoes over rice, so I'll have mashed potatoes. Some persons prefer same sex relations, it's no big deal. Is it frowned upon in the bible? Yea. So is A LOT of things we do on a day to day basis. But why is it, everyone feels the need to be judgmental about someone's personal choice? To the bible thumpers, you know that there's only one persons that should be judging, and it's noone that's on this earth.
So leave the people alone and let them live their lives how they see fit. Let them do the things that bring them happiness. You just concentrate on your own happiness.
How about you stop trying to play God with all your judgement, let these people live their own lives and let GOD judge them!
percentage..
fire going burn dem
Yet if it's a sin, why try to force people to accept it and call it right?
Very ironic that straight interracial couples are seen as odd but when it's gay, it's supposed to be normal....
But that's what the devil does when you entertain it. It tries to make the good look wrong and the wrong look right.
The bible must be fulfilled. I urge you to repent of this ungodly act. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
All that P*ss out there and this. Santa ia Merry and Gay meaning happy not wanting to throw w**d in another man. I know some p**s- meaning p*$$ycat, out there can be stressful in getting them but it better than Balls University. Stop being homosexual and be p*$$exual.
Exactly they know it's wrong and they want people to accept that sh*t.. n*sty setta people. How could a man see himself with another man? Thats horrible!!
these people always keep saying that anyone who don't accept them need to be educated, but what they mean is that they need to be brainwashed into accepting one of the oldest demon known to man. crime is crime but some crimes carry a greater penalty and the same is true for sin some are unnatural and therefor are call abomination.
I have known K>>> for years and he has a history of lying and exaggerating and acting out to get his way so nothing that is said here i believe. *>>> has never proven to have a brain
They happy and is not hurting anyone so i say let them be and I'm a firm believer in Christianity, my only concern is the display of public affection for the sake of the innocence of the children then placing parents in very uncomfortable positions when being questioned.
They are two grown men so would know not to behave in an unseemly manner
Oh if only I could have the power of God for one day. I'd reincarnate all homophobics and the like as the very ones they hate. Let them argue they weren't born that way then!!
@Love
Persons are not born with that tendency. It is an influence based on the environment in which they live and the group of people they are exposed to. This group dates back to the Romans and Greeks.
Once the influence starts, persons likely uses the internet to lock in these new emotions and behavior. You will agree that this phenomenon has exploded since the internet was born in the 1990's. To the point where same sex marriage is now legal in white nations such as the US and Europe.
The end of days...Pastors where are you? The church is sleeping while souls are dying in their sin. You have your God given right to call sin by its rightful name! When Lot was in Sodim he was called out with his family because of the sins of homosexuality and other sins but his wife looked back and turned into ta pillar of salt. Mr. Callwood and Mr. McGraw come out of this lifestyle and don't look back. Serve Jesus!
HIV now affects more heterosexual people than gay people. There are plenty of drugs that control HIV and also some that will prevent HIV. However they are expensive unfortunately.
this homophobic attitude is just for show lots of b**** man in the BVI and in government
It is not happening here and not because of expats.
Best of luck with your future.
Virgin Islands Gone Wild! Live and Let Live! Life goes on-with or without us! Focus on what we can change here and now. Everyone has an agenda and we are all being played like puppets. There is a breakdown of (Hu-man, do your own research on why it is written in this way) beings living within any system; it’s the 85-10-5 breakdown: Eighty Five percent (85%)) of human beings living on Earth are misinformed, naïve, and ignorant (for black people within this equation, we are still running on the Willie Lynch chip implanted in our consciousness, so the percentage can be higher).
Ten percent (10%) are the Blood Suckers, those who are taking from the poor for their own interests and special interests; the self-interests who offer them a snippet of their transient and illusionary world and have fallen head over heal for the con.
And then, there are the 5% of the righteous teachers who are fully enlightened, able to view the whole forest and aware of how our energy is being used for the Cabal’s agenda, and who are working overtime to change the course of their agenda in the world. I will presume that this transmission will go over 85% of the people on this blog. Live and Let Live! If you are not focus on your business, you can guarantee that someone else is fully focused on it for you and it is only a matter of time before you go Bankrupted!!! There are many other sayings along this line: Dig two (2) graves whenever you decide to judge anyone. Whenever you point a finger, there are 3 pointing right back at you, etc., etc., etc.
This is my last transmission until the level of consciousness of our people has been elevated to a higher percentage. Now, go right ahead and blow up the dislike button because you all have been called out!
When you hate homosexuality you are called homophobic, what is the term for when you hate rapists and pedophiles....?? If someone dates an underage girl, everyone agrees that something is wrong, so why do we act like nothing is wrong with two men being "married"??????
I don't know whether or not they born are with gay tendencies but I would want to believe that most are. If people can be born deformed or with Down Syndrome then anything is possible. But I know one thing though, it is nastiness and something is wrong with them. To see the kind of women I does see walking around in the Virgin Islands and you going choose to go up in another man's septic tank?? Oh, something is very wrong with you buddy.... I don't know why you all trying to act like this is normal behavior. Going against your own existence is even more proof that this is abnormal behavior. A man and a woman created us all. Two men can't create anything. That goes against your very own existence......
is his sugar daddy for the moment.
Do you know them?
Where's your proof?
So much rubbish spoken about one of our own by idiots that don't know him. Fools
There were many like Mr. Callwood, and there will be many after him. They were even in existence before Moses'
alleged rules in Exodus. Look, people, life existed 3,000 years before Moses and we waiting in this era to know how to live? Study to show yourselves approved. People refuse to reason for themselves today. Search inside you and find the spiritual connection and you will find the answers for yourselves. It is obvious many on here blogging negatively do not know how to identify truth. The day is fast approaching when that which you claim in your Constitution, "non-discrimination" because of sexual orientation, will be thrust in your faces and what you going to do? It is only a matter of time when persons to whom this fundamental rights apply come knocking at the Government's doorstep for proper redress.
The foundation upon which you hold your view of homosexuality was written in the Bible, and that good story book is not the law of our land today. Let the law reign supreme. It does not call homosexuality a sin or an offence when done with two consenting adults. Story dun; who are you to call it otherwise? Separate Religious Laws from State Laws, please and let truth prevail.

To the people at VirginIslandNewsOnline
We really don't appreciate you running that story. We put our post on this Community Page to not just vent our anger at the expat, but to also thank all of the local people for their friendly hospitality.
Running that story is just going to cause problems for many people, but especially for Pinky. He now feels even more that he doesn't belong. People should be able to say what they want on a community board without having to worry that some news organisation will copy and publish it. Especially as you didn't bother to contact us first before doing it.
Also you've deliberately used a picture to incite adverse reaction. There are many pictures of us that you could've used that wouldn't have had this effect.
Unfortunately for you, but fortunately for us the picture that you have used (without permission) is subject to copyright protection. So we will be looking at taking this further for breach of copyright.
Being on the internet makes no difference and the O called journalist who wrote (I use that term loosely) this should know this. Well they would if they were professional.
Before commenting rubbish do some research to see if the rubbish you are spouting is accurate.
Do some research it doesn't take long
