| Message | Mr Speaker, We strongly believe that the Holy Imperial Military must be kept clean from the influence of sodomites, which are clearly not apt to serve. Furthermore, we strongly believe that if a private initiative wishes to institute discrimination, it should be allowed to do so. I respectfully yield. |
