| Message | We would support a revision of the current policy on homosexuals in the military towards a "dont ask, don't tell" system. However, we are a party of tradition and religion. We will not support the desecration of the holy institution of marriage, which is fundamentally the union of a man and woman as husband and wife. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
