Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge says that government’s submission on gay rights to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) may have been “badly put together” but it only made a reference to a possibility rather than stated definitely that a referendum would be held to decide whether to decriminalise same sex intimacy.
“There was a reference to a possibility. I read it to mean that and it could only have meant that because no decision was taken,” he stressed at a June 16 press conference when questioned.
