In our last segment, we told you about day 4 of Caleb Orozco's challenge in the Supreme Court. Well, while the attorneys were inside finishing up their legal arguments, John Brackett, the leader of CIFOS, Citizens for Safety, was engaging in a 1-man protest.
In the interest and fairness of freedom of expression, we spoke to Brackett about why he's decided that he must voice his disapproval of this court case so loudly.
He told us that Belizean citizens should not accept it because it is a Christian state.
John Brackett - Leader, CIFOS
"After Independence we have received this constitution and it is good for us and vital for us in this manner and I beleive that any changes would be a plus to the homosexual world and this is what we don't want. Giovannie, Orosco has already had a lot of rights; he has the right to move around freely; the right to associate; the right to have a job; he has the right to be paid for the job that he has done; he has the right to associate with anyone he wants; he has the right to live; I mean, we don't want any changes to the constitution especially to section fifty three (53). As a nation we need to look at the Bible; the truth; the word of God; Leviticus 20:13 Giovannie, the year we are living in; look at it, if a man also lies with mankind as he lieth with a woman both of them have committed abomination"
We do note however, that Brackett's posters said Section 53 of the constitution. We'll take it that he made an error and that he meant to put Section 53 of the Criminal Code, which is what Orozco is challenging.
