| Date | 13:27:35, February 21, 2011 CET | From | Ordo Illuminati Patricii | To | Debating the Orientation Equality Act of 3079 |
| Message | As persons of Alternate Orientation serve legally within our armed forces, spilling their blood for our beloved Republic and Empire of Selucia, why do we maintain legal blocks to their holding civil rights of familial affiliation in terms of marriage and adoption? Finally, most outlandishly and paradoxically, despite our allowance of their service, their very sexuality remains, on the books, at least, illegal under civil law. It is time for this to change. |
