And while San Pedro has its own story with section 53, last night, we told you about the how the light, water and telephone unions came out in support of the Evangelist Churches. They want to the Government to reconsider their decision not to appeal the Section 53 judgment which decriminalizes gay sex.
Well today, the Belize National Teachers Union added their voice of support to the churches saying, quote, “The BNTU wishes to express (its) deep concern about the recent judgement (as) representative of the largest group of organized teachers in the country… (The BNTU) had registered our concern about the implications, for the classroom, at the suggested implementation of the National Gender Policy...We now raise our concern at the...Amendment of Section 53.†End Quote.
The BNTU is now asking the Prime Minister to ensure that this matter is thoroughly ventilated. They say, quote “Our people must be allowed the opportunity to openly express their concerns and opinions on the issue and the possibility of an appeal process, before it is brought to the House of Representatives.†End quote.
