| Message | This should be a local issue since all of our crownlands have varying opinions. |

| Message | The BZH makes a good point. Though should we really be endorsing homosexuality by giving locals the option to vote for same sex marriage? |

| Message | In fact...we should be. If the region feels its right, then let them make it that way. If a region doesn't feel its right, then they can make it not that way. Maybe no regions will legalize gay marriage, maybe they all will, but it doesn't matter, its what they want. |
