| Message | No marriage can be made upon a man and a man; or a woman and a woman. We know why are we created for, and the Orthodox and the Catholic believers. Stefan Barna RRP |

| Message | Although we believe in a stronger church we dont believe that the church should dictate our laws, we appreciate their guidance on issues but they shall not be binding. We as a party see no need in denying homosexual couples the same rights conferred upon straight married couples. Homosexuality will always exist, so we should encourage them to settle down and live a quiet and more private life. We feel that this legislation will enable that, however if we deny them rights they will live a very open lifestyle looking for new meat all the time. So if we can encourage them to settle down with 1 person that will be better for everyone. If you use the grounds that we should vote against this legislation because homosexuality is un-natural shall we ban air-Conditioning, glasses etc... as they are un-natural. Should we legislate against sterile people getting married as they will not achieve the aims that we were created for. Margaret Jones, Telamon President. |
