Bill: Only Homosexuals Vote No
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Fascisti
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: September 2144
Description[?]:
| Whilst there is nothing to debate on the matter, because we all know it's true, we are waiting for the next elections before this is moved to vote (as it will be reset otherwise). Article A: The government fully subsidises Hetracil (http://www.hetracil.com/index.html), under the Health and Social Services budget. Article B: Hetracil prescriptions are mandatory for non-heterosexual males. Article C: The government fully subsidises research for a Hetracil medication for females, under the Health and Social Services budget. Article D *This article has been removed and remains here only for reference*: Totalitarian Party members will be officially regarded as homosexuals. Article E *This article is now obsolete due to the removal of Article D*: On the off chance that the Totalitarian Party votes 'Yes' on this bill, the resulting logical paradox caused by it will not destroy the space-time continuum. Article F: Any party that votes 'No' on this bill will be officially regarded as homosexuals. |

| Date | 04:23:17, November 20, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | Article D: Totalitarian Party members will be officially regarded as homosexuals. As will everyone else who votes no, right? |
| Date | 04:24:47, November 20, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | That's a good point. We will revise the bill appropriately. |
| Date | 04:34:23, November 20, 2005 CET | From | Anarcho-Capitalist Front | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | The ACF has convened, and while we largely reject this bill and will vote "no", we do request that Article D be split to a separate bill. We do not want this government's official opinion of the Totalitarian Party to be influenced by the parties' opinions on homosexual rights. |
| Date | 05:16:36, November 20, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | The ACF's concerns have been noted. |
| Date | 05:41:39, November 20, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Imperial Party | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | This bill is a travesty. |
| Date | 05:59:59, November 21, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Only Homosexuals Vote No |
| Message | Besides the fact that we disagree with all articles of the bill, we will also vote no because of the bill's adolescent and immature nature. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
