Roman Catholic Bishop, Francis Alleyne has said that it is time for the anti-sodomy laws in Guyana be made null and void even though he did reference the fact that the Church is of the firm view that sexual activity outside of the male/female covenantal relationship for the purpose of procreation is disordered and morally wrong.
Bishop Alleyne was the keynote speaker at the recently concluded Intimate Conviction 2 virtual conference and while he spoke about the act of homosexuality being morally wrong according to the church’s teachings, he did advocate love for all mankind.
In his presentation, he noted that in Guyana, the existing laws as he understood them are seldom invoked and when they are it is by the law enforcers with the intention of victimising members of the LGBTQ community.
