Governor won’t intervene in marriage equality case

Governor Martyn Roper

(CNS): Governor Martyn Roper says he will not intervene to prevent the Cayman Islands Government from fighting the legal challenge filed by Caymanian Chantelle Day and her British fiancée, Vickie Bodden, who have been refused the right to marry by the registrar on the grounds that they are a same-sex couple. Although Roper said he was aware this was a “hugely sensitive area”, he has signaled his clear support for LGBTQ equality. But he told CNS that this legal challenge was a matter that the local court should be allowed to decide and it was a case of wait and see what the results of this case are.

Speaking at his first press conference since his arrival in Cayman Islands, where he agreed to take questions on any topic, Roper said that having been on island for just a few days, he was still in listening mode.

Asked about the marriage equality issue, he made it clear he was aware of the particular case but was reluctant to go further than offering his support to the concept of equality and compliance with the law.

“We need to see how the courts handle this before moving forward,” the governor said, making it clear he was not planning to intervene and impose any kind of civil partnership law before this case was heard. He also referred to the British government’s policy of, where possible, allowing its territories maximum self-governance for domestic issues.

“My view is that everybody is equal and everyone should have the same rights,” he said, but stressed that the court should be allowed to decide this case.

“We need to wait and see the outcome of this case,” the governor added, as he indicated he did not want to comment on the use of public money by the government to fight the case, despite the UK’s position that it wants to see equality for the LGBTQ community.

During his address at the governor’s formal swearing-in ceremony, the premier hinted at the pressure coming from the UK over this issue and indicated that he was hoping the governor would tackle the issue. However, Roper made it clear today that he feels it will be the courts that decide.

Day’s case is due to open in February before Chief Justice Anthony Smellie, who is hearing both a judicial review application and a human rights challenge. If he finds that the marriage law should already be interpreted in line with the Constitution, this means that it would be lawful for Day and Bodden to marry without any action from government.

If the governor intervened before the case was decided to pressure government to create new legislation for some form of same-sex civil partnerships, it could save public money and save the couple from a costly legal battle, but it could also mean that the couple would have to wait much longer for their wedding day.

    Where is the RIGHT of those that have Christian Values in this Country?? What made cayman great , that has caused $40,000 on work permits and about 110 different Nationalities here……… Our christian beliefs. Have bleesssed this island. While so many have laughted at and scoffed at our Values. Yet so many have had to leave their countries to make a liviing here. Yet they want to deny what has blessed us to the point that so many have moved here for a chance to a better life??? That is sad that our Ideology of what is a Sacred Marriage is being guestioned and pushed out the door. I trust I will be out of my island when the distruction hits ( because of stromppling under of what has made us great in the first place)

      Oh yes, the plight of the modern day christians. It is so sad how persecuted you are in the name of… human rights. I can’t wait till you meet your maker (whom I don’t believe will be there but in this case you do so we are going to tell the story this way)… Here is how the pearly gate exchange will go:

      DUDE AT GATE: Joy, what have you done to deserve a seat in heaven?

      JOY: Oh ya know, I took it upon myself to personally attack people who just wanted to get married because they loved one another but their private parts matched so thats not right because of the Bible.

      DUDE AT GATE: You were never asked to judge, we said leave that up to the maker. To hell you go!

      JOY: DOH!

    I mean really. They are talking about EQUALITY for EVERYONE? come on guys …. Where is the Equality for so many of the Women/ Moms working in jobs making $1500 a Month?/ Simply go around to 50 percent of women , man of whom r single mothers, and find let them tell you how many are making say $1600 a month . Out of that they need to spend $1000 on rent for a two bedroom , then it is water ( at least another $60.00 .) Then it is Electricity another $150.00 . Then they need Transport to get to work.. And lets not mention at least $500.00 on Groceries for her an her two children. Where is put her and the children? Yes this is no isolated case. Not at all . Where is the EQUALITY for months making about $6.00 a hour. How is this fair?? Whre in Cayman, will$6.00 a hour be fair and just to have somewhere decent to live in Cayman on $1500 a month. Check the Statistics and find it is not a whopping about 40 percent of employees working on this meager salary. I dont hear these Leaders coming with a Agenda to ask for Equality for LOW PAID WORKKERS? ( a issue that bleeds crime, poverty, prostiitution, children being molested and unsupervised because of good parents that have to work 12 hours a day to try to make ends meet at $6.00 a hour. Where is the Agenda for these who are being Economically explotted?

      This isn’t about that though, this is about marriage equality. I am glad you brought this into it because as a women I find it is high time I address some of you out there.

      Why are you a single mother? Did you know the man you had a baby(s) with for longer than a minute before you jumped into bed with him? Was he with someone else when you got pregnant? The majority of time one or the other is to blame. I am a mother of two, I was with my husband for 6 years before we decided to have children. We were in our 30’s when we had said children because we were less selfish, more stable in our careers and made enough to support a family. I find it hard to read the drivel you just wrote on here and care when I can take a guess about how you got into your situation.

      Now I think that was quite harsh of me to say, but I said it for two reasons. I think it’s time you take responsibility for your own actions AND don’t post this crap on an article about MARRIAGE EQUALITY! Find and actual relevant place to post this instead.

    Why do we even have MLAs if fundamental decisions are going to be made by Judges?

    If there is a perceived loophole in the Law then MLAs quickly close that loophole!

    If there is a perceived loophole in the Constitution then put the change to close the loophole to the electorate in a Constitutional Referendum.

    Let the electorate decide the issue of what is marriage in the Cayman Islands, the decision must not be left to be decided by Chief Justice Smellie.

        The Constitution must be respected as the electorate approved supreme governance document.

        If the Judge decides a law is not compliant in implementation of the electorates’ wishes then put the correcting change to leave no doubt the wishes of the electorate in a Constitutional Referendum.

        As the Constitution is the supreme governance document, all laws derive their legitimacy from thr Constitution.

        For a Constitutional Referendum to be approved it must therefore require a an increased majority for approval, above other referendums. In all other countries a Constitutional Referendum requires at least 2/3 majority to be approved.

        In democratic countries ALL CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ARE APPROVED BY THE ELECTORATE, NOT JUST BY POLITICIANS BECAUSE THAT IS UNDEMOCRATIC

    Sounds like the politicians want to bog the governor down in this issue. Anything to keep him from interfering with the cosy world of CS. Hopefully he doesn’t fall for it.

    In any event what kind of weirdo cares who wants to marry who. I can only conclude those so vocally against gay marriage are just bitter and unhappily married themselves.

    The aversion to same sex unions predates all versions and semblance of Christianity and religion.

    Never in the history of humanity has any group, culture, or creed equalized homosexuality to heterosexuality.

    The constant dragging of Cayman’s Christian background through the dirt of this debate is very misguided – by both sides.

    Grow up. Read a book. Study a cave painting. Different but not equal.

    Similar to how we’ve never required the Bible for us to realise it is wrong to kill your own mother – we’ve also never required it to realize a man fits into a woman and therefrom springs regeneration.

    Male + female rules supreme – dont take my word for it tho..ask your Mom & Dad – or for those therewith, ask your same-sex parents.
    Good luck!

      They will continue dragging down our Christian heritage to the mud. And why is it always an “us versus the church”? Because despite the diverse beliefs churches have, they share in common certain morals from the Bible. And this is a threat to their new age agenda. The Bible makes it plain that homosexuality is not only contrary to nature and the family, but is a sin against God.

      And God is the last thing a stubborn or arrogant homosexual want to hear. That he or she will be held accountable for sins they cherish. How dare you say we can’t pick and choose our own morals!

          I trust you equate the Roman Catholic Church with the “murda a battybwoy” sectors of Jamaican culture, yes?
          Because they are one and the same in this respect.

          Interesting how many have such condemnation for Christian morals when it has a non-White face but will go along their day as if the cannot identify the actual (fairer) genesis of the regional aversion to homosexuality.

          The “Western world” should clean up its own backward before running around and condemning others.

          Their supposed inherent moral authority is a myth.

      They can marry. They just want everyone to legally accept it on par with real marriage. But that would mean our government interfering in marriages, and why do we need that? If all they want are simple rights like properity or inheritance, that can be easily be arranged without destroying the sacredness of real marriage.

          There are 7 billion + Homo Sapiens on this planet and that number is steadily growing. Our resources are also under strain while we pollute the environment and promote global warming. Our species is at no risk to go extinct just because a few people ended up falling in love with a human of the same sex. We’re destroying our own habitat while being split on petty issues like this, so we’ll kill ourselves environmentally or through war before everyone turns gay, falls in love, and decides to stop procreation entirely.

          The argument that gay people should not be able to marry or form a union is simply idiotic. What about people who are born infertile? Those who choose not to or cannot afford to have kids?

          Why do they not deserve equal rights? None of your rights are threatened – YOU are the one which forms the wall that stands in the way of their freedom to equal rights as equal, and fellow,

    What a shame.

    The LGBT is against democracy. It is leftist socialist agenda! They will tell you to educate your children their way, or face the consequences. They if had their way, they will persecute you for speaking your mind in public, and brand you a bigot or hater. They are not a group that respect others freedoms, and this gov does not know what he is talking about!

    None of our government members seems to have the balls to stand up for respecting traditional marriage, making it to a mere contract. And what is so upsetting, they are silent about it. I guess too coward to follow Eden or Suckoo. Instead leaving the issue to the Uk to decide the destruction of our morals.

      No one is suggesting he intefere with a court case. The Governor has the power to legislate in situations where the local legislature is unwilling to do so and there is a clear breach of international treaty obligations. Cayman is required as a result of the ECHR decision in Oliari vs Italy to provide for same sex unions and the Governor has the power to enforce this without these two ladies being required to fight the point in court. It’s a waste of effort and resources to allow this matter to proceed to court.

      That’s what Alden gets, he wanted to pass the buck so they could blame the Governor if things went bottoms up. Well played Mr. Roper, well played.

    Good job Mr. Roper. The laws of the land must be respected irrespective of race, gender, religion or sexual preference.

    While this isn’t a surprise given the Foriegn Office’s previous unwillingness to get involved, it is sad that Chantelle and Vickie will be forced to litigate on a matter in which the UK Government has, not only the power, but a legal obligation to intervene as the ultimate governing body of Cayman as an overseas territory, where it is evident and undisputed that Cayman is not adhering to its international treaty obligations on the matter of same sex unions.

    It’s not only disappointing but also hypocritical that the UK is willing to force the requirement for public registers, a move controversial and potentially damaging to the financial services industry, on the OTs by way of order in council but are not being willing to do the same for a matter of human rights and equality.

    Our Goverment and each and every elected member of the LA should be ashamed of themselves for remaining silent on this issue when it is well known that several of them have no “issue” with same sex unions behind closed doors, but are too fearful of the alleged public “backlash” to stand up and be a leading voice on this important matter. They would all rather sit on the wrong side of history and react after the fact – pathetic.

    While the public purse is drained fighting this losing battle, I look forward to welcoming Cayman into the 21st Century (albeit they seem to want to be dragged there kicking and screaming) when the judgment rules as we all know it will, in favour of equality and justice.

    Love is love and this has nothing to do with anything other than equality for our fellow Caymanians.

      Whereas I agree completely with your sentiment, especially on human rights and the hypocrisy compared to the register, I do think you are confusing ‘Government’ intention. Governments don’t do what is right, they do what is convenient, financially beneficial or popular (regardless of whether it’s right) politically. And the UK is a master at it!

      @8:00 I agree with everything you said but like the article said, if the governor did intervene there it may make them wait even longer like it said in the last paragraph.

        I disagree…I am >$100k and three years into a Grand Court FSD case that hasn’t yet advanced to a preliminary case management hearing. Even at the glacial pace of our LA, we could have had an amendment in shorter time than the speed of judiciary resolution in the Cayman Islands.

      Equality yeah right, after we see whats happening to the rights of people up north. “Love” is no reason to impose laws on us. You need to keep your kind of love to yourself. Our children don’t need it!
