IBarbados ayinakonwaba ngakumbi ukusingatha iNkomfa yoNyaka ye-SATW ye-2018.
IBarbados yamkela iindwendwe ezivela kuyo yonke imvelaphi kunye neenkcubeko, kubandakanya noluntu lwe-LGBT, kwaye ayicalucaluli nakubani na ngokusekelwe kukhetho ngokwesini okanye ekuchongeni isini. I-Bajans yaziwa ngokuvuleleka kwabo, ukubuka iindwendwe kunye nokwamkela indalo, kwaye unxibelelwano lwabo neendwendwe sesona sizathu siphambili sokundwendwela kwakhona.
Ubufanasini abukho mthethweni kwii-barbados. Umcimbi ekuthethwa ngawo ubhekisa kumthetho wakudala ochasene nesodomy ngokolwazi lwam awukaze unyanzeliswe. Amazwe amaninzi kwihlabathi liphela, kubandakanya iCanada namanye amazwe aseMelika, anemithetho efanayo engapheliswanga ngokusemthethweni. Ngokubambisana nemibutho yamalungelo amabini e-LGBT, i-B-GLAD kunye ne-Equals, Inc., thina njengesizwe, siyaqhubeka ukwenza amanyathelo kule micimbi yamalungelo oluntu ibalulekileyo. IVeki yesibini yeQhosha yonyaka kwi-barbados iya kubakho nge-24 kaNovemba.
Mna ngokobuqu ndinabahlobo abaninzi kuluntu lwe-LGBT abatyelela iBarbados rhoqo, amatyeli aliqela ngonyaka kwaye bayibona njengekhaya labo lesibini - ndikopa eKaryl Leigh Barnes olilungu le-SATW kwaye ndikwangumlingani kwiarhente yethu yobudlelwane noluntu irekhodi, abaCebisi boPhuculo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe.
Ilungu le-SATW u-Bea Broda wafikelela kwisigqibo esinomdla:
Ndivakalelwa kukuba le iseyindlela yamacala, kwaye kunokwenziwa ngaphezulu ukubetha umthetho kwiincwadi. Ndicinga ukuba amandla eenkolo ezithile angayithintela le nto, kwaye abantu bacinga ukuba ukugcina ubume beyona meko kokona kulungileyo. ”
Isisombululo sabameli beBarbados: Musa ukuqhubeka ungabuzi ungaxeleli umgaqo-nkqubo kwaye uthathe le mithetho ezincwadini, ngenxa yoko ayinakunyanzeliswa!
