| Message | Remember our children and their future? enabling a crossdressing? Rather, we propose to express a neutral opinion of the topic and does not include it into law. We understand that you are trying to apply a liberal state in society, Democratic Party is conservative and not support this bill. Homosexuality in the military is not a problem, so we supports this bill separately from the first bill. - Samuel Novacek The Chairman of Democratic Party |

| Message | "I believe, Mr. Novacek - that the application of Conservative and Liberal principles are in no way in conflict with one another when it comes to this matter. Allowing for cross-dressing in our law code is a strong sign from the government that we will dedicate ourselves to the individual liberties of a person - especially when it is a personal, harmless activity such as this. From a Conservative perspective - I can admit that there is some desire to hold back on this. But ultimately, with proper thinking into this matter - there is no need to make a conservative judgement here. There is nothing to be harmed by giving people a secure environment to make a choice - that goes for the children as well. They can choose whether or not to participate in this activity as much as they can any other. It is not the sole domain of the progressives to respect choice. So why not this? To let it be is much the same as codifying it in legislation." - Shae McCaw Liberal Conservative Party |
