Some people in Bermuda love gays

Bermudaprotest
A delightful woman called Michele Lawrence has contacted PinkNews.co.uk with pictures of a mini-demonstration she and her daugher arranged in support of gay tourists visiting her home of Bermuda.

"After the Rosie O'Donnell-sponsored (gay family) cruise pulled out of a proposed stop in Bermuda several weeks ago because the churches had threatened to demonstrate against them, my daughter Freya was outraged enough to start a group on Facebook to discuss it," she writes.

"There was a story in a local newspaper saying a small group of gay travellers with the tour group Pied Piper would be arriving last weekend and I suggested, somewhat in jest, that we should go out and stage an anti-protest protest.

"I then forgot all about it until last Thursday, when Freya said, "well, are we going to do it?" So we decided to, had a great time doing it, met some nice people and made a small gesture that made us feel like we were doing something to help convince people that not everyone in Bermuda agrees with the churches."

God bless you madam!
