| Message | If we are not to tollerate it anyway why take a weaker stance than we already have? We vote no to this preposterous proposal. |

| Message | Although this is better that the status quo, it is still not sufficient. |

| Message | Our party believes differently. Homosexuals are a natural part of life and society. How can we deny sizeable portions of our citizens the right to participate in national military service and deny ourselves potential assets against our enemies. Parties may not have considered the effect on morale this will have if healthy homosexual men and women are given preferential treatment and protected from the frontlines. |
