"I'm not a bigoted person. There is no bigotry in me at all. What I'm doing is trying to fight something that is not good for our community, not good for our people," said Okino. "It undermines families, undermines children, It is a huge threat to the community because it's not according to the natural law, or divine law. I think our problem is we have been silent too long. We just allow people to go ahead and do what they want despite the fact we know it's wrong. If we had spoken up sooner maybe we would have kept these things under control."
