The Guyanese Muslim Community will continue to resist any decriminalization of homosexual laws and practices locally.
President of the Guyana Central Islamic Organization (CIOG) Fazal Feroze, says that while he has not been presented with any formal proposal from the Guyana Government as it relates to amending the Laws, he is aware of a promised consultation on the matter.
He said that he is cognizant of the fact that Guyana has signed on to several International Conventions that would speak to the matter of Homosexuality and the Death penalty among others.
He was quick to point out that while the Muslim Community will speak out against any such proposal he cannot make any more definitive statements at this point in time.
According to Feroze however, while the Muslim Community would not support such homosexual postures, it will not discriminate.
