Bill: Family Equality
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Democratic Workers' Party
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: April 2815
Description[?]:
| Refuting and condemning the existing discriminatory laws that seek to oppress social minorities and promote heterosexism in our society, and acknowledging that the oppression of bi- and homosexuals is the product of the same oppressive socio-economic system that gave birth to classism and racism, we propose the liberation of all LGBT individuals so they may take their rightful place in society. By legalising marriage and adoption for all couples, we can combat the percieved breakdown of family life and strive to end sexual promiscuity among sexual minorities and end intolerance of them by giving them the route to family life and equality in the eyes of the law and their fellow man. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
