Marriage newest target in quickening march towards 'normalisation'

Bruce Golding, GUEST COLUMNIST

Homosexuality has been a reality for centuries. The Book of Leviticus, which makes reference to it, was written circa 1400 BC. When I was growing up, it was looked upon with scorn and those found indulging in it became outcasts.

Much has changed since that time. The gay lifestyle has gained acceptability and even respectability in many parts of the world. Jamaica itself has become much less intolerant than we are so frequently accused of being.

Not sure if the title of the piece is his or the Gleaners, but it sounds to me like he himself has yielded ground. This has a much different tone than "Not in my Cabinet". Sounds almost desperate, crying for no surrender.

Once a politician always a politician.

One word fi dem fiyah!!

Come clean?
It means do not yield (FULL ground).
I agree FULL 100%! Label myself as being not intolerant but there must be boundaries.

[Islandman]

Yield NO ground means do not yield FULL ground? In what language?

Come now, the title does not match the content of the article. As to whether that was deliberate or just good old incompetence I cannot say.

Funnily, I was not thinking on the article but wondering on Gamma's stance.
Do not blame you for the misunderstanding...my fault as I was not clear.

Communicating?
This is a minor misunderstanding...to both of us no big deal! ...but imagine how the major could play???? ...and no doubt has played out on this board?

[HL]

The same Book speak about murderers thieves and criminals etc. They too should be looked upon with scorn...and those found indulging in [it] should become outcast.

That's the biggest problem I have with people who quote the scriptures to support their claim.

BTW: I hope this is NOT the same Bruce Golding who was 'defrocked' because of his association with crime-mongers:

[Peter R]

Does that include thieves and criminals wearing white shirts? hope so. But, it seems they are immune to convictions or sanctions.

[HL]

White shirts with expensive silk ties wearing dark blue suits.....

Indeed!!
