[LifeSiteNews.com] August 22, 2005--Public opposition to the homosexual movement and “gay marriage” is still powerful in some “traditional” societies. In Aruba, a small Caribbean former Dutch colony, sentiment against homosexual or other deviant “lifestyles” is vehemently opposed by the public whose cultural roots are more in tune with Latin American culture than with that of the modern Dutch. A lesbian “couple” Charlene and Esther Oduber-Lamers, who were “married” in the Netherlands are attempting to use the tried and true method of judicial activism to force acceptance of homosexual unions in Aruba, a country that is 80% Catholic.
