Message | "Preposterous. No man shall be turned away from his great patriotic duty. No man shall be told otherwise. The M.A.R.C. Guard is proud to accept all, regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. If you wish to lower your fighting strength and morale, so be it, but we'll have no part." |

Message | As if the concept was not enough, even the name of this bill is offensive to the People. |

Message | "You sound like that now when it suits you, yet you proposed to introduce apartheid against those who consider them Selucians together with your fascist allies. We believe that the military isn't the most well-suited place for someone struggling with homosexuality, and we shall be merciful." |

Message | "What a ridiculous comparison. Of course we wish to rid ourselves of you Selucians, you are trying to enslave our people! We have done nothing other than protect the interests of our people. You are not our people." |

Message | There was never an intent to bring about apartheid against the Selucians, but the pro-Crusader groups attempted to enact genocide against the Pntek people and have been vocal in their contempt for those of a Majartan descent. The only struggle homosexuals face comes from those who would condemn them for being who they are; people like the Crusaders. As it stands the don't-ask-don't-tell policy is in place to protect them from those would subjugate them; inquiring as to a person's sexual orientation is a punishable offense. Homosexuality is not a sin and nor is it a crime. A man or woman should not be barred from defending their homeland against interlopers because of sexual characteristics. Even if your oppressive laws pass, understand that the NLA and MARC will continue to allow homosexuals to serve in their organizations. |

Message | If the fascists continue to pose a threat to your country, we shall be ready to send 6,666 Death Knight volunteers to assist our comrades against the fascist insurgency. I swear on my own unholy magnificence that we have no homos among our ranks. Aesir the Warlock |

Message | The fascists are the Selucian interlopers. Understand outsider, less than seven thousand volunteers will not dissuade the MARC-loyal military. |
