| Message | Homosexuals have freedom, the same freedom as everyone else. What we don't want to do is change the world to accomodate marriages that arent really even marriages. It's not descrimination against gays, it's upholding tradition. It's not like we are singling out gays, we are making sure that people can't get married to kids, animals, object, more thatn one person, and other things that arent defined by marriage. |

| Message | Is coitus of heterosexual regulated as well? |

| Message | We actually have a bill on the floor right now for both of these; the Guarenteed Love Act and the Marriage Nonintervention Act. |
| Date | 02:11:37, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Homosexuality Protection Act |
| Message | This is proposterous. This legislation is tantamount to social engineering, imposing a politically correct homosexual agena on society against the natural developements of culture, tradition, family, and morality. If this legislation passes, the government will be officially sponsoring homosexuality, and indeed encouraging it, and citizens of this country will therefore have to accept homosexuals as equals by law. If the state officially sponsors the homosexual agenda, there will be no channel for dissent - the entire nation and each of its localities with their own particular cultures and values will be forced into uniformly accepting homoexuals without so much as speaking a word against it, lest they be labelled a 'bigot' or a 'homophobe', or some other politically correct buzz-word. Furthermore, if homosexuality is encouraged by the federal government, more people will inevitably choose to become homosexuals, and this will gradually erode the moral fabric of our society and the institution of the nuclear family unit, which the Reform Party believes to be the single most important association in civilization. We have said this elsewhere but we will say it again - homosexuality is wrong on several counts. It is wrong by the values and standards that have been so entrenched in our countries' moral foundation since its conception, and it is also inherantly wrong by nature. Examples of homosexuality's unnaturalness manifest themselves in various ways - homosexuals cannot naturally reproduce, which is perhaps the most obvious indication that these relationships are unnatural, and AIDS is most commonly contracted through sodomy. We reject this legislation and any others that attempt to further the homosexual agenda and any other politically correct social engineering. |

| Message | Are men and women not able to engage in sodomy? Those laws limit, not only homosexual relations, but heterosexual ones as well. No sexual practice should be legislated aganst. |
| Date | 04:22:46, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Party | To | Debating the Homosexuality Protection Act |
| Message | By making homosexualty legal across the nation, you force everyone to accept it as normal. Which it is not. And take away the peoples rights of freedom of expression, which includes freedom of religion, because you cause anyone who opposes homosexuality to labeled a bigot, just like the Reform party has pointed out. Secondly, there is loads of evidence showing that homosexualty is unnatural and unhealthy. It is an addiction, much like alchoholism. I am Christian and that is why I oppose it, and I reserve the right to oppose it in any way I wish. We will not stand for this outrageous legislation. |
| Date | 04:24:43, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Party | To | Debating the Homosexuality Protection Act |
| Message | You still fail to see the true meaning of freedom and liberty. |
| Date | 21:03:16, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Sons of Liberty | To | Debating the Homosexuality Protection Act |
| Message | these are both already taken care of now. |
