T&T says no gay marriages

Trinidad’s minister of culture and gender affairs, Marlene McDonald says there is no avenue for gay marriage in the country.



She says the Government is opposed to same-sex relationships as expressed in its recently drafted National Gender Policy.



In March, Prime Minister Patrick Manning rejected a call to re-define gender to include gays.



Ms. Mc Donald says Cabinet yesterday accepted the latest draft of the National Gender Policy.



She says it would soon be laid in Parliament as a green paper, open for public comment.
