A Government Senator on Friday joined an Opposition Senator in expressing alarm about sections of the new Sexual Offences Bill.
Last week, Opposition Senator Navel Clarke suggested sections of the bill might overturn the buggery laws and sanction consensual sex between two men. In the Senate Friday morning, Government Senator Hyacinth Bennett also picked apart sections of the Bill.She expressed alarm at the prospect that the bill could sanction buggery and said doing so would cater to the homosexual lobby.
The Government Senator also said changes should be made to the bill to guard against people who undergo sex changes.Turning to the section of the bill dealing with marital rape, Senator Bennett disagreed with fellow Government Senator Dennis Meadows who last week suggested that marital rape be made gender neutral. She said doing so would lead down a slippery slope that could bring into contention the definition of marriage.
The debate continues in the senate.
