| Message | This bill is completely inexcusable. There is no logical basis for discrimination against homosexuals. This bill simply should not exist! |
| Date | 23:44:38, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Noordelijk Bevrijding Front | To | Debating the Family and Fatherland Act |
| Message | Homosexuality is not the norm within a species. It is a minority trait, some might say an undesired mutation. Marriages should be available to heterosexual couples as this is the basis of a family unit in which procreation is possible. Allowing homosexuals to adopt is forcing a perversion of normailty onto children. It is not in the child's interest. We must consider the child's interest over that of a homosexual parent. There is no logical basis for discrimination against needy children, condemning those who are forced into a homosexual family to be brought up in a marginalised and unstable environment. |

| Message | Homophobics laws won't be supported by us. |
| Date | 01:19:49, November 12, 2007 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Family and Fatherland Act |
| Message | The traditional model of the family unit is obsolete, and anyone who would support or vote for the DUAS(VF) is unfit to raise children anyway. |
| Date | 04:05:30, November 12, 2007 CET | From | Supreme Party of the Republic | To | Debating the Family and Fatherland Act |
| Message | We will support this bill! Children should not be exposed to such aberrations before they're able to decide what they want to do with their lives. |
