Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my deep dismay and indignation over the recent remarks made by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, which have not only showcased an appalling use of language but also highlighted a blatant disregard for the dignity of individuals and the values of our society.
His crass, sexually charged comment, replete with degrading innuendo and personal attacks, is both reprehensible and unacceptable.
Such rhetoric, which smacks of sexual discrimination, verbal bullying, and a profound disrespect for the LGBT community, does nothing but undermine the integrity and reputation of our nation on the global stage.
Prime Minister Browne’s conduct is a far cry from the leadership we deserve. Instead of inspiring confidence and uniting the nation, his words serve to alienate and marginalize, fostering an environment where intolerance and disrespect can thrive.
The people of our country demand better. We expect our leaders to set a standard of conduct that reflects the progressive, inclusive, and respectful society we aspire to be.
The Prime Minister’s remarks are a stark reminder that he is no longer the viable leader our nation needs. His actions have embarrassed our country, and it is time for him to take responsibility for his words.
I firmly believe that it is in the nation’s best interest for him to resign and allow for a leader who truly represents the values of respect, decency, and unity.
I urge Prime Minister Browne to reconsider his position and recognize that his continued leadership only deepens the divisions within our society.
Our country deserves a leader who upholds dignity in discourse and honors the rights and identities of all its citizens.
Concerned

Just go and live in California wokeee
What are you a white old man? Tying to use woke as a insult learn what “woke” mean awareness to systematic discrimination. go and live in Ohio old ass yankee
One of the most difficult things for me is to listen to an individual go off on someone else without letting me know what they’ve done. 99.99999…. percent of the time people like this are only interested in there own interest. They cut across you, they’re louder than everyone, they’re loud for no reason and extremely selfish. These are the freedom fighters that when they become king become tyrant’s. They who stand for nothing fall for everything.
PM Brown I’m not sure what these comments were, but I hardly think it warrants you resigning. We will not accept that the homosexual lifestyle is right nor should be accepted here in Antigua. Nothing is as repulsive and revolting as that lifestyle. Article writer take your BS somewhere else!
Just because he does not support a lifestyle that even the Bible condemns, he’s not fit enough to lead.
The Lgbt+ community agenda once was for equality, they would have gotten that, now their aim is to force their lifestyle down another man’s throat.
And you become the bad person for not accepting that, give me a break.
Thou shalt not bull!!!
Go complain to Trump or try MBS in Saudi!!
🗣️ Boom bye bye inna batty boy head. Gaston nah promote no nasty man them haffi dead
We just witnessed the rotten “Soul” of Antigua let off some steam staging a march through the streets of St.John’s. Is it now time for the GAY soul of the nation to peddle their wares and dogma in similar fashion? Or is this a BACKDOOR introduction of that joker, Vere Bird the lll as candidate for the disgraced, rapidly disappearing UPP.?
De Jezebel and the other queers have always been allowed to exist unimpeded in Antigua to this day. So why come now to create a firestorm without fire?
This is what I call pure sissy-like behavior!
So i see only when things don’t pleases us we turn to the bible as an back up to justify what we want but when it all come done to it if we do follow all of the commandments that the lord set out we would not be here for today since we as a nation and the workd at large have broken all from sin to taken ppl life so what give us the right to not accept someone sexual identity ? Are they not human? And do we know what these people been through?. We all have rights and a change is coming so we as a nation better change from this stupid personal narm bout bible say when it say all sin is sin no grater none lesser he with out sin should cast the first stone and as an leader he have to uphold the rights of all humanity not what he believes is good for most of the people in the LGBT community have been helping each one of us the most at resk population in some form of way we all can never be the same someone have to be different in life . Lets put it this way if all of us gonna be managers who will be the workers we need to get our heads out of our asses and be realistic.
I agree with all that you have said about the prime minister and especially his ability to lead their fair land.
He is crass, uncouth, disrespectful and a disgrace to the office.
I however doubt that he has an issue with the LGBTIQ community.
Isn’t Dame Sherese his biggest fan and vice versa? I do think so.
I went to the service station one day where I overheard a conversation. The gentleman was saying that you can make sexual jokes with an openly say man and he will not be offended. However try the same joke with a man in the closet and he will tear you apart.
He went on to say listen to the attacks on say people. Mark the faces of those who are so openly against it. Trail them by night and you will see their true identity.
Leave Gassy alone.
He doesn’t have an issue you the unnatural community.
Did you understand me???????
Well… explan this… https://panam.one/antigua-barbuda-gaston-browne-sodomize/
It’s genuinely shocking — and globally embarrassing — how proudly some of you flaunt your ignorance like it’s a badge of honor. You talk about “not accepting” homosexuality as if human dignity depends on your approval. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Let’s be absolutely clear. Homosexuality is not some modern invention or “Western agenda.” It predates your religion, your country, your worldview. It has existed — openly — in ancient civilizations, from Sumeria to China, from the Aztecs to Indigenous tribes across Africa and the Americas. The only thing that changed was colonialism showing up with a Bible in one hand and a whip in the other, preaching “morality” while erasing entire cultures and identities.
You’re not preserving values. You’re preserving ignorance.
And let’s talk about morality while we’re at it. Some of you shouting the loudest about “sin” have three baby mamas, cheat on your partners, abandon your kids, lie, steal, gossip, and live however you want — until it’s time to open your mouth about someone else’s existence. Suddenly you’re the morality police. The hypocrisy is staggering.
You’re not defending faith — you’re hiding behind it to avoid doing the hard work of understanding people who are different from you.
And that’s the real tragedy — not just the hatred, but how proudly uninformed it is. You weaponize cherry-picked scripture while conveniently ignoring the parts that would hold you accountable: lying, gluttony, infidelity, greed, judgment. Where’s your outrage then? Or does your so-called righteousness only wake up when it’s time to attack the LGBTQ+ community?
What you’re really saying is this: You’re uncomfortable with things you don’t understand, so instead of learning, you lash out. That’s not moral clarity. That’s intellectual laziness. It’s fear masquerading as faith. And it makes you look painfully out of touch in a world that’s moving on — without you.
And to top it all off: this is coming from a Black-majority Caribbean country — a region with its own long, painful history of oppression, dehumanization, and being told it was “less than.” You’d think that would breed empathy. Instead, some of you have taken the tools once used to shame you — and turned them against others. That’s not cultural pride. That’s generational trauma reenacted.
Meanwhile, countries around the world are decriminalizing homosexuality, legalizing same-sex marriage, and protecting LGBTQ+ rights — not because it’s “trendy,” but because it’s basic human decency.
So go ahead, keep clinging to your double standards and shouting into the void like it’s still 1950. Keep screaming about “God’s will” while ignoring your own mess. But understand this:
You are not the guardians of truth.
You are not “defending morality.”
You are the ones who will be remembered as the loudest fools in the back of the room — yelling nonsense while history quietly walked right past you.
The world isn’t going to wait for you to catch up.
It’s already moved on — you just haven’t realized it yet.
pm must have had a good laugh after reading this. The PM is far from homophobic trust me
Wa really a carry on for Antigua news room? First them want transgender come perform in concert with gospel artists for our children to see not them a talk bout this bulla man ting? Nobody want no part of this dam agenda you trying to push, go to the US with it make President Trump lock you up for lgbtxyz bullshit
The PM will you gay if he thinks you’re gay but not at all homophobic
Jamale Pringle is homophobic not Gaston Browne
The PM has many gay friends and associates. He’s confident in his sexuality so i doubt he’s homophobic
This letter is hilarious. next!
ANR dont kill me this morning please
Ah must Bramble write this
A who forced you into faggots glee?!
It is imperative to recognize that the writer of the post, is compulsive with delusional disdain for the laws of nature.
The Prime Minister who was born and, is a convicted male; does not possess the right to give “right” to any member of society the “right” to be deviant and goes against nature; as a personal choice. He is completely within his “right” to uphold the dignity of creation as audained by The Creator’s will. Male & Female created he, them. It is pure audacity for anyone intending or, incline to be deviant to be posturing about a subject matter that is of a personal choice, and out of sync with the purpose of procreation, and intended purely for self gratification. Let alone, to stage the impingement of judgment of the PM–to gain sensational reticent at the expense of society acceptable norm, as the new normal aspirational of the pivoting few.
Luckily, society has shown tolerance as not to have preferred public stoning. But then: give them a line, and they will want an inch; to fester the degradation of humanity; in the vanities of their warped mindset preference. I salute the PM. for his resolute stance, and let God be the judge.
No one is interested in your stupid antiman story
You’re free to go to the US and stay there!
You want to push your abnormal lifestyle on people! You can go about your business and live your life, no one cares, but when you want to push your lifestyle on straight people, then we have a problem
We all have our opinions and our preferences, but at the end of the same sex relationships are still WRONG!!! There’s no justification for it!!
I am genuinely curious what are you justification against it before I simple state why your opinion is objectively, scientifically, morally and even religiously wrong
The truth of the matter is the hierarchy of the state and church those that mold, indoctrinate society and culture is built on homosexuality principles. Gaston should remember and know, that his rise to power was supported by the power of Antigua’s Antimen/gay men and lesbians. v bird de third did openly speak to such happenings in Labour. Gaston is rattled like he has never been before with these personal international court proceedings against him, his family and his government. He will therefore create enough controversies to take those cases out of the international spotlight; unfortunately, he cannot, not in today’s world at your fingertips.
He’s been baited and he swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Anything posted on social media is admissible in many Courts today. The lawyers are simply reeling you in and your fighting like a shark. Dame Cherisse can harpoon you with some of shim documetations.
This is a senseless article. Why condemn alleged remarks and not state what those remarks were. If there were in fact remarks that the alphabet people deemed offensive why not state what those remarks were. In any case, why should they get special treatment and be apologized to. The prime minister doesn’t discriminate, if any one offends him, regardless of their race or gender, he let’s the have it (not saying this is right). Just saying no special treatment for the alphabet people..and still waiting to hear what the PM said that was offensive to them…
Dutty sodomite, antyman, bi and lesbians alphabet devils. Fiya bun u. Nasty a**, you all always desperate for attention, dam devils
I’m just going to call this article what it is – baseless. The Prime Minister has not exhibited any disdain for the LGBTQIA’s community. As a matter of fact it would be safe to say that he believes in love and let live. Next time you make an accusation please provide actual evidence or just keep it moving.
He’s a conniving guy. He was once there and was somehow forced to break the connection and now suffering from withdrawal. I suspect that he’s not full weaned as it’s customary for him to engage in such dialog on his station. The rice pudding BUOY has left him with many years of fond memories.
To the men that take dick in their ass or push there dick in other men, you are an abomination to life, you dont believe in your exisustence you came into this world via a man and a woman!! burn🔥 🔥 and to the women sucking each others vagina and rubbing it together and using strap ons the same for you
Dem man who whan tun woman and want the same rights as woman. You fraid walk dark road ah night ? Man call you up pon the street, suffer period every month, carry baby for 9 months, dem ah real ting whey you can neva know bout and you can never get NO KINDA normal man attention. If you even can say yes to one ah dem ting you anna wan woman.
Can someone tell me what the PM said?
As Prime Minister of a country where all of us sins, should he be respectful of us all, all sinners? (Assuming he was rude, disrespectful, etcetera, I have no clue). I do not sin the gay way but I sin the other ways that the Bible forbids. Surely would have sex with a female prior to marriage, which is also a sin.
Surely have had imaginations of gorgeous women, in ways I rather not say. Does this mean the PM should not respect me and be a leader for me also?

Homosexuality is a sin against god. Plain and simple. Keep your lifestyle to yourself, as you don’t see hectrosexual progressively promoting their lifestyle.
You literally just did by trying to use the bible as justification
@wadad1 which kinda god you have? Look like you jealous bad your god don’t let you bull or get bulled. The answer is simple, change your god and pick the god that will allow you to get some bulling sessions in. Time to stop be a undacova bulla.
Battyboy you need fe stay far from we.
Foof4Thought, so the PM has many gay friends, you know quite a lot, just wondering if you are one of them. Just curious
The Caribbean on a whole don’t believe in homosexuality. I would say in Antigua probably 88% people “don’t support it” for what ever reason they would use mostly religion(Ironically the bible says don’t judge let god make the final decision) or gaza(cause by poverty mostly), 10% don’t care mostly women are allowed to openly not have a issue against it and 2% are the support mostly LGBTQ members I would say are the closet man them who are oppressed and young progressives.
Somehow I see people are becoming Americanized saying America are the ones who are “pushing a agenda” no they are not. The reason it’s a thing thing is the same reason why poor people fight back it’s because they are oppressed, and oppression cause people to fight for the freedom the more you push the more you push back people who are apart of the LGBTQ movement isnt pushing agenda it’s a fight for liberation a fight to be seen as people and to not get killed for just walking down a street and white people says the same about black movements
If you are poor, black or a woman you share a lot in common with LGBTQ members and should focus more fighting the people who are in power that can change your life than trying to open someone for being gay, stop fighting people for being different and fight the people who can make a difference black people are no different from gay people in the fight for liberation
The PM is just a crass individual, it’s part of his DNA, talk as much as you want he cannot change you cannot get mangoes from an okra tree
Creative self enricher Gaston Browne like he like a bulling session now? All dat included in self enrichment? Wat a ting.
Is the way how you guys make lgbtqyz or whatever they go by is the only sin in the world and y’all under here acting like y’all so righteous
The Bible reminds us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” None of us can boast in our own righteousness, because we all need God’s grace and mercy. But the good news is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where it says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” God offers transformation to everyone who comes to Him in repentance, no matter the sin. The Bible is also clear in its moral teachings, including that homosexuality is an abomination unto the Lord (Leviticus 18:22). But while Scripture identifies sin, it also calls all people—no matter their background—to repentance and new life in Christ. Therefore, as believers, we must stop attacking each other and instead speak the truth in love. We are all in need of grace, and we are all called to turn from sin, lift one another up, and walk in the newness of life that Christ offers.
The funny thing is, there are more gay women, lesbians that are accepted with no resistance. I guess you’re only gay when the dick is involved. I love this human world.
According to Science, sex is for reproduction – males and female humans unite to produce new offspring. Hence there is no such natural thing as “gay” or “homosexual” human beings. All the other aspects of relationships – love, companionship, attraction – are all based on hormonal systems that exist to draw males and females together to form stable families and raise the next generation. The Bible/religion says similar but also includes the complementary companionship of males and females as a reason for them to get together even without reproduction being the focus. So, romanticizing homosexuals as some sort of different natural species or subgroup of humans who are oppressed and fighting for rights alongside blacks and women is utter nonsense. Clearly in life people make a lot of mistakes in understanding feelings and relationships. Homosexuals and transgenders are clearly just confused about who they think they are and are attracted to because of whatever previous experiences they had in life or childhood. Heterosexuals also make mistakes in choosing compatible partners as well. People get confused about what they are supposed to do in life. Sometimes they try to justify their decisions by trying to force everyone else to agree with them. Newsflash that will never happen. Quite rightly, the majority of humans will never be convinced that anything other than the normal male plus female makes sense. Those pushing for such acceptance are fighting a losing battle and causing unnecessary hostilities in society. They should try to realign their thoughts with reality, but if they don’t want to then just leave other people alone. Society must prioritize traditional marriage and child rearing because raising the next generation well is essential for our collective survival. On the other hand, the love lives of the homosexual community are not essential to anything so expecting laws to favour that or society to encourage that is completely irrational.
Aye. Let me clarify. I am Antiguan and proud. Me love woman – Antiguan woman and Caribbean woman and all woman and only woman.
