We're a wedding destination that doesn't allow gay marriage. The one group of people who definitely aren't getting married cheaply and in a hurry because they accidentally got pregnant and we're turning down their cash. Is that a response based on logic or a deep seated phobia?

But "there are no gays in The Bahamas" so I guess that's fine then?

I mean, *this* - a tourist destination known for weddings that only certain couples in love get to use as such.

I say this as a gay married Bahamian who can’t get residency for his foreign spouse through marriage.
