Dear Editor,
I noticed a news report, “Majority of Guyanese accept or tolerate LGBTQ persons, study finds” (SN, Sept. 29, 2022). The sexual deviance lobby in Guyana is well funded and active to promote its cause with lots of support from the ABC/EU countries. So, a pro-gay outfit from the UK called the Human Dignity Trust that focuses on strategic litigation challenging the criminalisation of homosexuality around the world, provided US$31,000 for this “flawdulent” study, that wants to make the public feel there is widespread support for buggery and sexual deviant practices. The sexual deviance movement (SDM) is working hard at promoting its sexual deviance agenda, and wants to change our laws to give legal protection to deviant behaviours that destroy the traditional marriage and family values. We have enough problems, as is, than to adopt certain western decadent values that would destroy our country. The SDM is extremely strategic in its work and seeks to influence public opinion while the churches/temples/mosques are silent and not affirming our values and countering the deviant propaganda.
Guyanese should note that in the recent election in Italy, a far-right party that ran on a campaign based on anti-LGBTQ themes, is poised to form the next government. This should tell us that maybe right-thinking Europeans have seen the damage deviant practices have done to undermine good family values.
This week in Virginia, USA, students from 100 schools were protesting for “transgender rights,” whereby if you were born as a boy and you choose to be not a boy and want to use the girls bathroom, it is a “right.” And if schools don’t go along with that, you protest for your “rights.” If a boy tells you he wants to be called “her” and “she” and the teacher refuses, that teacher can be fired. Is that what we want to adopt in Guyana? In Virginia, “Students streamed out of their classrooms to speak against the State policies, which require parental permission before trans-identifying students can be addressed by names or pronouns that do not match their assigned sex at birth. The Virginia Education Department policies restrict participation in certain school programs and the use of school facilities based on students’ assigned sex at birth, although they do allow schools to make special accommodations for transgender students, such as the use of single-user bathrooms – the details of which must be worked out between school officials and parents (“Virginia Students Protest Anti-Trans Policies With Walkouts, Metro Weekly, Sept. 28, 2022).
Supporters of the State policies have hailed provisions that protect school employees and students from being compelled to refer to transgender or nonbinary students in a way that violates their constitutionally protected right to free speech, or forcing them to use pronouns that conflict with their religious beliefs regarding sex and gender. Recently, a Virginia teacher had to sue to get his job back after he was fired for not using a transgender student’s “preferred” pronouns. One elementary school physical education teacher, Tanner Cross, was disciplined after stating during the public comment period at a school board meeting that his religious beliefs prevent him from referring to transgender students by names or pronouns that do not match their assigned sex at birth. The Virginia Supreme Court reversed his suspension.
So, take warning, do we want our schools to be the battleground for these kinds of problems or do we want Ms. Priya to fix historic educational inequities? If the religious groups and family values groups continue to remain silent, the SDM would overrun our beautiful country. Stand up Guyana for traditional family values!
Sincerely,
Dr. Jerry Jailall
