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: May 2647
Description[?]:
| The Christian League has always been a socially tolerant party, however we cannot help but feel that the will of the people is being ignored in the current laws regarding the legality of homosexuality. for decades homosexuality was labeled a crime in this nation, and we feel it is time for our nation to return to this established interpretation. Naturally we feel if homosexuality is illegal than open homosexuality cannot be tolerated in our military. |
