(If you don't like naughty words, stop reading now. You have been warned - rtm)
Julianna O’Connor–Connolly is the latest idiot to throw her dunce hat into the circle of stupidity surrounding a lack of human rights in Cayman.
Julianna made what could possibly be one of the most idiotic, uneducated, close-minded, homophobic, scared, hateful statements surrounding this issue in today’s Compass. And what’s worse is she used her political position to do so.
It goes something like this: “Once doubt enters in the equation that we have to pander to these people…then we are diminishing our faith in God…”
“These people?” “THESE PEOPLE?” Are you kidding me?
Julianna, you’re a bigoted ass whose efforts are doing nothing more than perpetuating fear and hatred. You’re an idiot and you should crawl back under the rock from which you crawled out.
Why don’t you talk about “these people” who rape women and children? Or “these people” who beat their spouses. Or “these people” in West Bay who fuck horses. Or “these people” who deal drugs. Or “these people” who kill Miss Teen Cayman in car crashes. Or “these people” who steal government documents under the guise of some lame-ass whistleblower rule. Or “these people” who financially rape the country. Or “these people” who care more about two men kissing than about attending a meeting on Constitutional matters, human rights or a bill of rights. Or “these people” who label people as “these people.”
As far as pandering to “these people” – Julianna are you really that freaking stupid? Actually, yes you are.
No one is asking anyone to pander to gay people – we’re asking you to simply ignore them. Treat them like everyone else on the island, then when it's election time kiss their asses and lie to them like you do the rest of us.
Pay them as much attention as you pay people you don't know, cruise tourists, ex-pats, anonymous residents, rapists, drug dealers, child beaters, wife beaters, animal fuckers, drunk drivers, illiterates, thieves, ex-pats, voters, your constituents, the economy, Cayman’s global image, etc… In other words, just ignore them and pretend like they're not here and if they are their pressence is of no consequence. You've been doing it long enough with everything else so this shouldn't be a stretch even for the likes of you.
One thing that bothers me is your pious attitude that in spite of your lack of secular intelligence begs the question, "How does being in the midst of different people diminish your faith in God?" Does God tell us, “go forth and minister to the good people and the people who are like you and the people who believe everything you believe,” or does he send us out as sheep among the wolves. Does He send us into the not-so-pretty areas to minister to all of God’s children?
Did Jesus not tell Peter to “feed my sheep?” Do you truly understand what that means – or do you simply think God meant to feed his 13 sheep and screw the rest of them?
Julianne – before you spout off your warped religious ideals you may want to wait until you’re outside the LA and inside your close-minded church.
Regardless Jewlianna, at the very least you’ve helped us regain a sense of our past. You’ve sent us backward in time and you’ve shown us that if we follow your religious teachings that copping out, quitting, dividing God’s people, spewing anger and hatred and perpetuating a bigoted attitude will allow us to enter the kingdom of heaven; but more importantly it will allow us humans the right to pick and choose those whom we want with us in heaven while excluding everyone else. When the fire and brimstone rains down from heaven I'm sure we can all huddle in safety under your umbrella.
So Julianna we’ve scratched the fags off our list, now let’s do something about the kikes, the niggers, the spics, the nips, the crackers, the slants, the slopes, the wops, the micks, the limeys, etc… because “these people” are really mucking things up. Find me the bible passage and I'll exploit it for the sake of your self-serving ignorance.
And as far as telling pastors how and what to preach – THAT’S NOT GOVERNMENT’S JOB YOU IDIOT!!! You don’t tell a minister what to preach – who the hell are you Henry VIII (although you do strike an amazing resemblance; although his beard was a bit thicker and you’ve got a few pounds on him…)? Besides, the ministers here in Cayman are more than adequately qualified and capable of spewing their seperatist bilge without your help or the help of the LA - although it might be easier for them to do so if they weren't busy pulling the strings of Cayman's political puppet show.
You know what I don’t want to see? An angry, moron spewing jaded religious nonsense under the auspices of political leadership. I’d rather see two dudes kissing than one Julianna acting like she knows what she’s talking about.
And I certainly don't need to see a politician belittling a government employee for making a correct judgement call and apologizing for an incident that can and will have social and ecnomic repercussions in these islands. Cayman's indignance will be its undoing so any little jestures made by someone like Pilar Bush that may help soften the blow of Cayman's stupidity shouldn't be met with such opposition and derision by the people charged with helping these islands succeed. But I wouldn't expect an idiot like Julianna to understand this intensely cerebral concept.
So screw you Ju! Hats off to Pilar Bush for apologizing (even though the apology was a bit backhanded and not entirely accurate) in the wake of a most unfortunate incident perpetrated on one of Cayman's benefactors by government.
And kudos to Julianna for teaching our children that if people are different it’s okay to ridicule them, deride them, berate them, exclude them, deny them liberties, deny them human rights, inconvenience them and after all is said and done NOT apologize to them - in the name of God.
“The Gospel According to Julianna – Go Forth and Hate.” Julianna your stupidity is showing – again.
It’s amazing actually; the LA has a dress code but it doesn’t have an intelligence code. Thanks Julianna. Thanks for putting a bit more lipstick on that legislative pig. How about trying a little on yourself…
AMEN!!

As a open gay caymanian (a rarer breed than the blue iquana according to GOV!) I justed wanted to say a big thank you for standing up against all this nonsense. I don't normally post and not out of fear of personal reprisal, but I don't think its fair for my family and loved ones to be hassled because I am gay. And for the record, my family supports me in any and all things I do. Keep blogging - we have some scary people in some scary position on this island and we have to change it.

WELL SAID. THERE'S NO REASON IN THE WORLD THAT YOU OR ANYONE SHOULD BE JUDGED BY THE LIKES OF ALSON EBANKS OR JULIANNA O'CONNOR-CONNOLLY FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE.
RELIGIOUS ZEALOUTS OFTEN LOOK FOR WAYS TO EXTERNALIZE THEIR OWN INTERNAL STRUGGLES AND INADEQUACIES - WHAT THOSE WHO SUFFER THE BRUNT NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM BEING DIFFERENT AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH AN INSECURE PERSON'S WEAK SPIRIT TURNING INTO AN UNHEALTHY AND UNWARRANTED ATTACK ON YOUR EXISTENCE.
ANGER IS FEAR EXTERANALIZED.

In taking a slightly different approach to that of the Cayblogger here, let me point out that indeed the Bible does refer in several places to Homosexuality as a sin. (ok this really only goes to prove that there were oppressive bigots like this back in those days also)
However ...
The Bible also points out that sins including homosexuality are forgiveable by god. Gods forgiveness is available to all that belive in him and jesus christ for their salvation (you weak people)
read for yourself.
John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Corinthians 6:11; Corinthians 5:17
And in christianitys inherent nature this means that all christians and homosexuals are equal on the sin marker. Christians believe they will recieve eternal life for their belief in god. Us humans are not given eternal life, but christians strive for it, they want more than they were given, which is being greedy, greed is a sin and you will go to hell for being christian unless god forgives you. Luckily as earlier stated though you may all be forgiven as long as you believe, and if you don't it doesn't matter anyways !
________________
ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL TEACHING THE ONLY SIN FOR WHICH I PERSON WILL BE CAST INTO HELL IS THE SIN OF IGNORING GOD'S PRESSENCE. ALL OTHER SINS CAN BE CLEANED AWAY (THANK GOD) BECAUSE AS YOU POINT OUT THERE'S NO ONE SIN ANY WORSE THAN THE REST. THANKS GILES - rtm

AAAARGH!!
Why can't these politicians shut their YAP about this GAY kissing and focus on something IMPORTANT like those REAL Issues you mentioned in your blog. I don't personally know ANY caymanians that think its a good idea to hyper-venthilate about gays, especially while the spotlight is on us!
Politicians like that Sea Witch Connor-Connely are pandering to a minority of these Gods-fearing morons that let religion rule everything in their life.
If Al Ebanks told his flock that God wished them to shit their pants on a daily basis while deep in prayer they would do it. The biggest problem here is these mentally retarded religious leaders like Al Ebanks that can't get his bulbous head out of his rectum and preach tolerance.
PLEASE, please stuff a soiled Gym sock in your esophagus Ms Connor -Connely and shut the hell up. MAYBE just maybe the dickheads in the local religious community will do the same.

Thank you RTM.
It's people like Julianna that should listen to thier Mama when they said 'if you don't have anything good to say.....'
It's a sad day in Cayman when a Gov't official expresses such hate and idnorance.
For all the so called christians out there, PLEASE think for yourself.....who are you to persecute, judge or hate anyone?

Well next time I wish you would be a little clearer on how you feel. Thank-you for the rant. We have a great couple of threads going on MarlRoad.com about the growth and develelopment of The Sisters WITHOUT Julianna. Moses K has done an incredible job laying the foundation for The Brac and Little Cayman and to move forward he needs to do it without Julianna. She has put "down" the Brackers with her dribble. Brackers don't need hand outs they need to grow their home land. Moses K needs help so I hope someone with vision, leadership qualities, common sense and decency runs in the next election. Caymanians are learning that many of their elected members have lead them to where they are. Stay over tourism floundering, middle class cannot afford to live in their own homes, environmental disasters waiting to happen. Stand up next election. Turn down the back handers, free drinks, undred dolla bills, washin machines and vote for people that will lead the country and people. The ignorance and hatred being spewed from Julianna and the lieks of Pastor Al is only pushing Cayman back into the stone age.
Press on .......Lachlan MacTavish

Yes! An amazing post. I have never quite understood how some Christians who have an all loving God and aren't supposed to be prejudice or discriminate against others, can be so closed minded.

I'LL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU: THEY'RE IDIOTS!
THANKS FOR THE COMMENT. - rtm
