Prime minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, is to meet with evangelical leaders in the tiny Caribbean island to seek their advice about allowing gay cruises to dock there. There are no restrictions on the gay tours but religious leaders have expressed concerns. “I will make a statement on the issue after my meeting with the members of the Evangelical Association,” said Skerrit. Bill Daniel, the group’s president, said Skerrit had not contacted him to schedule a meeting — which the association had demanded. “We want the government to ensure that gay tourists do not come to the island and conduct themselves in any immoral way,” he said, adding that he did not want Dominica portrayed “as a gay tourist destination”.
