When Phillip Lee (left) gets on a plane on October 29th and leaves our shores, the story of the His Way Out Ministries’ visit to multireligious T&T will not be about a “reformed” American gay man who came to combat growing acceptance of homosexuality here…to deliver a message that homosexuality is acquired…reinforce the Lordship of Christ and the authority of scripture, which says homosexuality is a sin…and spread the news that no one has been delivered from homosexuality except through Christ.
UN Right to Education Special Rapporteur Vernor Muñoz said sex education is a human right
It will instead be about three other stories:
that the GLBT community in T&T is ready to organize and advocate visibly for equality; that public opinion in T&T is that gay people should be able to live their lives; andthat young people care about something other than themselves, and that they hold a vision for citizenship that is about taking care of each other and standing up for what they believe in.
The mainstream media hasn’t been very interested in this last story. Even when the young people organizing to demonstrate an alternative local vision to Lee and his hosts’ visited media houses to tell their story, except in the case of Power 102, they didn’t think young people’s agency and vision that newsworthy. But a few journalists did.

Let us not forget that this same Ministry along with Phillip Lee was in Jamaica some time ago
Stokeley Marshall, then President of the Lawyers' Christian Fellowship and Pastor Phillip Lee, (centre in the photo on right) Executive Director of His Way Out Ministries based in California, USA outside of Kings House just before paying a courtesy call on the Governor General of Jamaica His Excellency Sir Patrick Allen on May 26, 2009. His Way Out Ministries is a Christian based ministry that supposedly provides support for men and women who seek freedom from unwanted same sex attraction.
Peace and tolerance
