Bermuda, a sister OT has been engaged in a long-running, fractious, legal back and forth internally and with the British government over same-sex marriage and the human rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgen- der (LGBT+) persons. The law was passed by a previous Bermuda government but was repealed, then reinstated and has since been referred to the Privy Council by the current Ber- muda government. This issue creates a constitutional conundrum of co- lossal proportions for the OTs whose British-approved constitutions - and the power and authority vested in the British-appointed resident Governor (drawn largely from the British civil and diplomatic service) - are brought into sharp relief. The Governor has the power to assent or reject laws passed by the locally-elected parliaments. But despite their territorial constitutions, the Crown ( British government) has the ultimate override. The matter of same-sex marriage and homosexuality reverberate throughout these conservative island societies unlike any other. It touches on deeply-held Christian religious beliefs (curiously, largely imposed on the predominantly black descendants of African slaves whose ancestors’ original moral codes were largely subsumed under the doctrines followed by their captors).

From April 1, the ban on importation of such petro-based single-use products will be enforced, while the distribution, sale and use of such products will be banned from July 1. After those dates, government is pro- posing to enforce penalties ranging as high as BDS$50,000 (US$25,000) or a year’s imprisonment, or both, for im- porting, offering for sale, or using single-use plastics in Barbados.  Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Hum-  Opposition Leader Joseph Atherley says the fines are too high for This was announced by Minister of Mar- phrey announced fines as high as BDS$50,000 (US$25,000) sellers itime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, during the second reading of Minister Humphrey also noted that “I have serious concerns about the hefty bags or polystyrene containers for items the Control of Disposable Plastics Bill 2019, from July 1, no person shall import, sell for pharmaceutical dispensing or any in the House of Assembly on Monday. or use any single-use plastic containers tics beyond the given date.
