HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC – The new One Bermuda Alliance (OBA) government plans to introduce human rights regulations that will protect gays and lesbians from discrimination. Attorney General Mark Pettingill says Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, is at present in violation of European laws that makes it an offence not to provide protection for gays and lesbians within its Human Rights Act. Pettingill told the Royal Gazette newspaper that government was moving quickly to amend the law and that changes would be put before parliament “within the next number of weeks”.
