Fiji Methodists March Against Gay Marriage

From Pacific Islands Broadcasting:

24 JUNE 2005 SUVA (Pacnews) - Methodists in Fiji have applied for a permit to stage a march tomorrow (25 June) protest against gay and lesbian marriages, Fiji Sun reports.

Organiser Reverend Malakai Tuikadavu, of the Nausori Methodist Church circuit, said this would not be a political march but "a faith march to show the people what we believe in."

He said it was sad to see through the media that other countries had allowed same sex marriages and that children had been able to see it through television.

"We could not allow this thing to happen around our community," said Tuikadavu.

"If we allow gay marriages and lesbian in, our country will be under a curse," he said.

Mr Tuikadavu said such an example of a curse that could happen to our country, would be a
tsunami like that, which hit Indonesia.
