CHURCH LEADERS SAY “NO” TO GAY AGENGA

Belizean Church leaders today issued a rare press release and delved headlong into
the growing public discourse of the so-called gay agenda.

Signed by Bishop Dorick Wright of the Roman Catholic Diocese, Bishop Philip
Wright of the Anglican Diocese and Reverend Eugene Crawford of the Belize
Association of Evangelical Churches, the statement formally announced that
Christian leaders have applied to join the government in the case of Caleb Orozco
and UNIBAM versus the Attorney General of Belize.

The release says UNIBAM is heavily influenced by foreign interests who seek to
impose a world view that directly contradicts the supremacy of God as reflected in
our laws by seeking to abolish the nation’s sodomy laws.

The church leaders say that the action challenged our national sovereignty and
threatens our very way of life.

Their statement says, “We declare that God is the author of all creation as our
Constitution affirms by recognizing the
supremacy of God.”

The leaders make known in their

release, that what they describe as the
homosexual agenda insists on the
promotion of homosexual acts in the
schools and society and undermined the
rights of parents as primary educators of
their children.

Ultimately the
release
concludes, is
that the promotion of sodomy and
immoral behaviour, disguised as
comprehensive sexual education will
lead ultimately to a call for same-sex
marriage in Belize.
 According to the clergy statement, “this
lawsuit was filed to establish a new right
to engage in homosexual acts in Belize.
In every country that has granted a new
right to homosexual behaviour, activists
have promoted and steadily expanded this
right t trump universally recognized
rights to religious freedom and
expression.”

The release ends by saying that the

Church is joining the Supreme Court case
as interested parties representing a broad majority of Christian churches in Belize
who do not support these initiatives of changing our laws to accommodate
homosexual behaviour.

The high powers team of attorneys who will represent the churches s interested
parties include Senior Counsels Rodwell Williams and Eamon Courtenay as well
as attorneys Michel Chebat, Jackie Marshalleck and Christopher Coye.

The case in question is expected to come up for hearing in the Supreme Court in
July of this year.
