OUTSPOKEN CLERIC Reverend Dr Lucille Baird has thrown her support behind embattled Cabinet minister Dr Denis Lowe who has vowed to resign rather than support gender-neutral legislation on domestic violence.

Baird, who is in charge of the Mount Zion Mission Temple in Rock Dundo, St James, was speaking at a service to mark the launch of 16 Days of Activism by the Bureau of Gender Affairs yesterday.
