Civil Unions Debate Continues on Guam

Discussions on whether same-sex civil unions should be allowed on Guam continued last night during a town hall meeting on Bill 138 at the Mangilao Community Center. Last night's forum on Bill 138 was different than the previous ones held in Yigo and Agat. Instead of attendees standing up and asking questions to a panel familiar with the legislation that would allow same sex civil unions on Guam, those who attended where asked to write their questions on a piece of paper. One woman asked, "Do you believe that gays have no control over their sexual preferences equal to blacks having no control over being black and whites having no control over being white so why would god say that homosexuality is a sin but then turn around and make people homosexual." Vice-Speaker BJ Cruz was the only one on the panel to respond to that particular question, saying he wasn't sure whether people have control over their preferences, adding he hasn't done studies on it, but there have been studies that been conducted. He added that in spite of how much they call this "the gay life it is not the happiest situation in the world". Full Story from KUAM.com
