The commercial manager at V.C. Bird International Airport has been suspended pending an investigation into her role in approving a controversial advertising campaign by CitizenGO, a group known for its anti-LGBTQ+ stance.

The manager, who led the department, admitted to granting approval but said she was unaware of the ad content. The campaign, which included posters and digital displays in the arrivals area, coincided with the arrival of delegates for the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly.

Human rights advocates and international observers have condemned the ads, arguing they contradict the OAS’s principles of equality and inclusion. Following government intervention, all related materials have been removed.

Rights groups warn the incident could harm the country’s reputation as it hosts a summit focused on human rights.

  1. Miss or Mister
    Let me shake your hand commercial manager
    You have done your country well. Let dem keep their debauchery elsewhere !

  2. Ice always told people, the Alphabet Gang has MORE RIGHTS than everyone else. You can get slandered left right and center and no one blinks an eye. But standing up for what Bible does not condone is a sin.

  3. What a diagrace and disappointing move. Yall should be ashamed of yourself for not allowing this ad to run. Yall have no balls and will always bow to the evil and woke agenda. Then yall have the heart to say yall stand for free speech and equality? Where is the equality in that? Total disgrace…

  4. That is why it is important to know the contents of advertisements before permission is given to accept and to post them. I believe the Commercial Manager acted in good faith and personally have no bias against LGBTQ people but she should have done more due diligence and scrutinize, consider and inspect the ad before posting.

  5. When you have a country with its main industry as TOURISM you have to be smart not stupid! It’s the same Alphabet gang does spend money in y’all shops/stalls. I don’t agree with their lifestyle, but at the same time TOURISM is everybody’s business! 💰has no gender! Keep it professional and keep it pushing! Their lifestyle isn’t my problem to take on! That’s between them and the Most High!

  6. Wow. Can tell when you’re with the gays! Thats how these people act! Suspend the man cause he wants to make a change? Anything for reputation.

  7. If gays offend you that much. They must be doing something right. Hell , when you guys start to pay people not to be gay. Call me. I can be gay for a min lol 😂😂😂😂😂

  8. And yet still they want.big position big pay for their incompetense .My great nephew use to love hot dog, now he don’t want anymore hot dog because he did a research and found out that hot dog is made from low grade meat and he is only 11 years old So how she didn’t know the contents.
