Politics is St.Vincent

"Poli- Tricks or Politics ?

A questions that probes the mind of majority of persons in St. Vincent and the Grenadines around this time when the atmosphere is polluted with politics.  Each party seems to have the future of St.Vincent and the Grenadines in their best interest according to the politicians.

There are currently three parties running  for leadership in our small island of St.Vincent and the Grenadines.
 
The Unity Labour Party- This party was founded in 1955 and has been in power for the last 14 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.

New Democratic party- This is the opposition party, who is under the leadership of  Arnhim  Eustace and was founded in 1975

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Green Party- This was founded in 2005 and is under the leadership of  Ivan O'Neal

Same sex marriage should be legalized in St. Vincent and the Grenadines?

s
?

Homosexuality is fast becoming a very popular lifestyle within our society today. In St. Vincent and the Grenadines we regard our self as a christian society, then why should we embrace such a sinful act?

Waite and Gallagher make the following statement (p.17): "Marriage is not only a private vow, it is a public act, a contract, taken in full public view, enforceable by law and in the equally powerful court of public opinion. When you marry, the public commitment you make changes the way you think about yourself and your beloved: it changes the way you act and think about the future: and it changes how other people and other institutions heat you as well." Can we whole heartily relate this to same sex marriage? Would it be beneficial to uphold this kind of marriage in our little island of SVG?

The state of same sex marriage is constantly changing. If you live in a state that allows same sex marriage, there are many complex issues you have to evaluate. These issues includes, it is an offense to God, it turns moral wrong into civil right, it denies a child a father and a mother figure in their life.

Any one who loves God would oppose  homosexual union. A number of books in the 

bible speaks against homosexuality, Genesis teaches how God punished Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality. Can we in St. Vincent and the Grenadines bear this kind of harsh punishment from God for such a sinful act?

It is morally wrong to indulge in homosexual activities therefore we as Vincentain should not to promote homosexuality as a civic right. Same sex marriage opposes nature, two individuals of the same sex, regardless of their race, wealth should not be married  because it goes against what nature intended.

As this picture clearly states this child has no conception of the father figure or role of a father in her life. Do you really want this kind of life style for the children of St.Vincent and the Grenadines?

It is in the child's best interest that he or she be raised with his or her natural father and mother. this is proven with the difficulties faced by the many children who are orphans or are raised by a single parent, a relative, pr foster parent. The unfortunate situation of these children will be the norm for all children of a same sex marriage. A child of a same sex marriage will always be deprived of either his natural mother or father. Same sex marriage ignores a child's best interests. 

Same sex marriage should NOT  be legalized in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
