| Message | Solentia should not base it's civil liberty policies on homophobia. We, as a nation, should be more mature to handle gays. The government should not be acting like a 13 year old. |

| Message | The only reason we supported the CPS's anti LGBT on the premise that all anti LGBT laws could be challenges in the Supreme Court. With that option off the table (for now) we are reverting back to our long held position that government sanctioned is unacceptable, and the ULC will constantly vote against it and that is why were voting for this bill. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
