The US Virgin Islands -– St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John -– are facing a “gay marriage” battle. A bill was drafted in their legislature in May, and although it hasn’t yet been formally filed, the fight has already started. Pastors have organized across the territory and have begun to confront the “gay marriage” threat.

The island of St. Croix has been a vacation destination for gays for years.

Lol, I just lived there 15 months and this loons bill ain’t going anywhere but in the trashcan.
To another freeper on this threads comment about St Croix being a go to place for gays, I was in only one bar/restaurant in all my time there where there were homosexuals. And, it was in Fredericksted.
Nobody is real safe down there right now but a gay person is taking a chance. VI has the 8th highest murder rate in the world. They are, or maybe were the last time I checked, # 8. South Africa at that time was # 9.
Like Mexico, fear the cops!
