| Message | Homophobic. Full stop. Homosexuals should have the same rights as hetrosexuals. The CPD cannot allow this bill to pass that would take away homosexuals equality. |
| Date | 19:52:48, May 09, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Marriage |
| Message | I don't see anywhere where FCP says they are AFRAID of homosexuals. |

| Message | Homophobia doesn't mean "fear of homosexuals". It can mean anything from fearing them to simply hating them or discriminating against them. The proper definition is "Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality and people identified or perceived as being homosexual. Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear." |

| Message | We agree with the CPD, all those conservatives are nuts. Homophobics. |

| Message | Homo - same Homo sapien - Man Homosexual - Same sex Phobia - Fear of Homophobia - 'Fear of gay people' |
| Date | 02:09:07, May 10, 2010 CET | From | Buidheann Saorsa | To | Debating the Marriage |
| Message | While I am voting against, I must point out the ignorance of the parties who are also voting no. Discrimination against butt pirates is prejudice, and discrimination. Homophobia is a PHOBIA. It is a fear. It involves the irrational fear of butt pirates. Only smelly pinkos and the mentally incapable seriously think that homophobia has been extended into the dislike for them. So may I ask, are you two smelly pinkos or mentally incapable? |

| Message | No, we are just capable of walking forward. Conservatives have got two fine legs, but they've never learned to walk forwards. |
| Date | 16:34:39, May 10, 2010 CET | From | Rerum Novarum Party | To | Debating the Marriage |
| Message | I like to use my legs to walk; however I'm quite hesitant of walking forward when it means walking off a cliff. |

| Message | Rerum Novarum: Well, you have proved your Greek is up to scratch, but you are wrong, as are you Buidheann Saorsa. The dictionary, along with the online dictionary says that Homophobia doesn't exclusively donote fear. Just as Xenophobia doesn't nessessarily mean they have a FEAR of foreigners. This, anyway, is not relevent. We are debating the discriminatory policies of the Federal Constitutionalists, not the definition of the word Homophobia. OOC: Homo Sapien means "wise man". We are "Homo Sapien Sapiens". |

| Message | The fate of the homosexuals in Darnussia is in the hands of the Libertarians now.. |
| Date | 21:22:13, May 10, 2010 CET | From | Libertarian Party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Marriage |
| Message | We don't care for civil marriage contracts, they need not exist. We shall abstain for now, but are leaning towards voting against, because if they do exist, the government should not be telling the people how they may obtain them. Although that last comment by the DPM really makes me want to vote yes on this ... |
