Posted 22nd December, 2012
An interview was done along with a promo of the big night which went over by 30 minutes, the moderators shared that it was better than the mayoral debates that they previously organized and hoped that a follow-up debate could be organized. I left feeling like I had redeemed myself from the student divergent forum in Belmopan where it was a mockery, miscommunication and deliberate set up as Wade PlusTV was allowed to document the entire debate without my consent. But like life experiences one learns to improve on the next efforts. I remain grateful that Wade accepted the invitation and that LoveFM supported the process. Their promo can be seen below for the event.
Love FM and Love TV Host Debate on Homosexuality
Jun 28, 2012
The topic is here, there, everywhere. Do gay people have rights and if
so what are those rights limited to? Or do they have no rights at
all? Are they just partaking in something lewd against humanity? All
of these questions and more will be discussed tonight in a one of a kind
debate taking place on Love FM and Love Television. Organizer Julia
Carrillo explains:
Julia Carrillo, Love FM’s Manager
“This debate is on the topic of homosexuality. As you will recall,
Love FM and Love Television had engaged in a series of debates leading
up to the elections and it is something, that when we started up the
debates, we said it was something we would want to continue. At least
once every so often we’ll organize a debate and so the opportunity came
up for us to talk about the homosexuality issue. It is an issue that is
out there, it is a topic that is being debated everywhere, in the home,
to any restaurant you go, in the work…so we thought, let’s bring the
two most, the two people who are most advocate about their side of the
debate and we agreed we got Caleb Orosco and Louis Wade Jr. who will
come tonight to Love FM and Love Television and they will each present
their point of view on the side that they have on the topic of
homosexuality. We also want to make sure it is a fair debate so we
decided to get two persons who are well known, Francis Gegg and Nuri
Muhammed, each having their own view on that same topic and so we
figured putting the two of them together would make it a balanced
debate. So the topic, it’s a wide topic and there are different areas
of the debate. I don’t want to give out much information rather I’d
like to invite you to tune in tonight at seven o’clock on Love FM and
Love Television. It’s the first of its kind debate on the topic of
homosexuality and depending on the outcome of it; hopefully we’ll be
able to have more on this topic and other topics. It’s a part of our
agenda to educate, entertain and inform.”
Natalie Novelo, Reporter
“Would you say that a debate is modeled to change people’s way of thinking?”
Julia Carrillo, Love FM’s Manager
“Well, I don’t know if it would change anyone’s way of thinking but
the idea is to get the information out there and then you decide which
side you want to take on this issue. It’s not geared to change your
way of thinking but rather to put the information out there and then you
decide.”
Once again the time for the debate is from seven to eight thirty pm on
Love Fm and Love Television and you can also catch the live streaming at
