Message | Strongly support. |
Date | 05:28:29, January 10, 2008 CET | From | Anarchistes pour une Société Libre | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | The PBN strongly condemns this archaic and indecent proposal. Our beloved Premier, Pythias Demopolous, is himself a man married to a man, and the PBN is fully behind marriage rights for same-sex couples. This is a disgusting and immature personal attack on our dear Comrade and his husband, and this Assemblyman suggests that the issue be thrown out. |

Message | Why do you think this is a personal attack on your so-called premier? It has long been a issue for our party that marriage is limited to the holy union of man and woman. We have the full right to propose this in the Assemblee Nationale. |
Date | 09:22:32, January 10, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Jelbanian Party-D.L.J.-D.L.F | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | we strongly oppose |

Message | The FMDP is the backwards voice of Jelbania. It's sad to know that THESE kind of people still exist in today's world. |

Message | UCC supports legal partnership rights for same-sex couples, but we have always been hesitant to call these partnerships "marriages" for reasons of tradition. |
Date | 07:41:22, January 11, 2008 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | You mean for reasons of intolerance. |
Date | 01:02:59, January 12, 2008 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | No, we mean for reasons of tradition like we stated. |
Date | 02:04:44, January 12, 2008 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | Being "hesitant to call these partnerships marriages for reasons of tradition" is not a reason. What traditions? What reason must you not move on? What will come bad to our nation if gay people are allowed to get married? Maybe if the gay people got married and had a married life, that would be better no? Isn't that in itself solidarity? |
Date | 04:28:34, January 14, 2008 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | We would like the term "marriage" reserved for partnerships between men and women, while same-sex partners can form "civil unions." That's all. |
Date | 07:01:28, January 14, 2008 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the Holy Matrimony Act |
Message | Well what's the problem with them allowing it to be called marriages? Should we call interacial marriages something else and uniracial marriages something else? |
