| Message | No no no. Destroying the freedoms of people to perform acts natural to them is going too far. Homosexual rights are a progressive right, and your party represents regression in the state. |

This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
