Bill: Anti-Homosexualism Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Bloc Militaire pour Restauration
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2527
Description[?]:
We are very concerned about the rise in homosexuality among our youth. Our scientists say the causes are teachers who promote the disgusting ideology of homosexualism in schools, homosexual parents who raise their children as homosexuals and homosexual soldiers who openly promote homosexuality in the army. This threatens the very survival and morals of our great country. Firm action has to be undertaken to stop this rise. We therefore propose the following: Article 1: Teachers in public schools are forbidden to promote homosexuality. Article 2: Adoption by homosexuals is forbidden Article 3: Open homosexuality in the army is forbidden |
