Debate on same-sex marriage must start and must be taken throughout the country, Trinidad and Tobago Gender Affairs Minister Mary King said on Wednesday.
She made the statement in the Senate during debate on the Statutory Authorities Amendment Bill. Several senators brought up the issue of same-sex marriage where clauses concerning co-habitants were concerned in the bill.
King, who noted how the issue of same-sex unions was being dealt with in the UK, said:
“The debate must start and we must ensure that debate is taken throughout the country and when the recommendations come in they will be taken to the Cabinet for decisions.”
