Sep 28, 2007Quickie Link: Christian Activists in the Bahamas Oppose Gay Channel LOGO
By vanrozenheim
(Bahamas) - This week, Gay activists in the Bahamas meet with powerful social conservative groups to resolve the latest wedge issue between Gays and the Church: The proposed inclusion of the Gay-themed LOGO network to the Cable Bahamas channel lineup. Bishop John Humes of the Bahamas Christian Council claims the island's cable provider is being forced to participate in the vast, so-called "Gay-agenda." Erin Greene, the president of the LGBT activist group Rainbow Alliance, says the Council's logic is "ridiculous" and if churches genuinely believed a Gay-themed channel "promoted homosexuality in the country, then we need to cut off every network channel that runs a show about cops and robbers." Cable Bahamas offers at least ten adult channels and their inclusion was never opposed by the Christian Council.
