One week ago Patrick Menzies started his "Occupy Belmopan" event - and one week later, it's still going. But today he took a break to protest against the new US Ambassador - and then went right back to the foot of the Assembly Stairs to resume his occupation.
Today, he repeated that he will stay there until the gender policy is withdrawn.

"The movement is this; we're here Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday having services and teaching and preaching and praising God. And on Monday and Sunday…every other day we're there passing out flyers. And it's been working. We have a lot of people, English speaking and other people coming out there now and saying you know what, we didn't know what you guys were doing so thank you very much. My victory will come when Belizeans stand up for their nation. Belizeans out there stop being cowards. Cowardice is of the devil, it's not of God and if you are scared for them to take your job right now they will be trampling upon your sons and their kids. You must sacrifice now for further generations."

"These people don't join you because you are extreme. Not even your own church brethren join you because you are too far out there brother."
Patrick Menzies
"Thank you for the statement. Now let me clarify, if I am far out there I have not whipped the members of the honorable House yet, neither have I overturned their tables. I have never done that. If I am extreme Jesus Christ must be Taliban because he overturn tables and he whipped them, so any person out there that claims Christianity if you believe in God, you must believe in some limp-risk sissy that you want to call Jesus. My Jesus had a backbone."
Government has said it will not withdraw the gender policy.
