Marriage between and a man and a woman was instituted by God with Adam and Eve.

Genesis 2 v24 states:"Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh".

In Mathew 19 v4-5 Jesus reaffirms this:" He answered,'Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female', and said,'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be become one?"

Quite clearly marriage is ordained to be between Man and Woman, and I urge the authorities of this little Island to make a stand and be an example to the world to resist the efforts of a small minority to go against God's holy word.
