Faux Gay Wedding Angers Choir In Fiji
 


A church choir in Fiji really doesn't like gay marriage, even if it is just for show:

A mock wedding that held for visiting travel agents at a Fiji resort that appeared to be a “gay ceremony” so upset a local choir hired for the event that its members refused to sing more than one hymn, the Fiji Times reports.

The “wedding,” held at the Sonaisali Resort near Nadi, including a mock wedding to showcase the property’s attraction as venue for tourists wanting to get married. But problems arose when the male who was to play the groom became ill, and a female was asked to step in to play the role.

"We are a church choir. This event was the talk of the village when we returned because all we were told was that we were going to a wedding. We came back angry and disgusted. Later, one of the villagers working at the hotel explained that it was a promotional gig. We should have been told because hymns are sacred,” said Korovutu choir member Watisoni Bakiki.

Oh, for the love of Jeebus!

Just shows you what can happen when the church brainwashes a backward people, it's moved out of Europe because everybody know it is evil and has caused more pain and death than even Hitler or Starlin

Maybe they weren't as upset about the gay issue as much as they were about the fact they were told they'd be singing at a real wedding when this was only a promotional one. If it were a real gay wedding maybe it wouldn't have been such an issue? I'd like more details. However, Fijians are rather homophobic traditionally.

Send LoRo (no-one would notce that one of them is not a Man!) Fiji is like a boring version of Hawaaii, but fatter and stoned on Kava.
