Det er jo vanvid!! Anyways, her paa Cayman er der osse godt gang i den. Se f.eks. denne artikel fra i dag om "the Bill of Rights": http://www.caycompass.com/cgi-bin/CFPnews.cgi?ID=1037504.
Via the link from Jasper, I find that there is a draft of a constitution in the Cayman Islands that a human rights group does not think go far enough in terms of human rights. Leader of government business, Mr. Tibbetts, think the group is silly, and should stop objecting on the grounds that this constitution goes further than the previous one - which didn't have any human rights provisions at all.
Anti-gay Christians seem to me to be way more confrontational than anti-Christian gays. Neither of which, thankfully, represents the entirety of their respective demographics!
This reminds me of something Against Biblical Counseling posted awhile back. It's a link to an article about how a Christian group had a "purity raid" on a gay bar, and apparently talked a mentally unstable man into faking a mystical not-gay-anymore conversion experience.
Personally I think the ideological extremists who use Christianity to push their anti-gay views are afraid of being proven wrong. If gay marriage were allowed, and if gay couples turned out to be no more nor less dysfunctional than straight couples, their opinions about the so-called sinfulness of being gay wouldn't hold as much weight.
