| Message | Mr. Speaker, Marriage is not a human right and any legislation that tries do include gay marriage, polygamous marriage or free divorces destroys the original meaning of the term, which is that it is the basic, most core unit of society, the only unit that can produce new citizens and that therefore needs special treatment from the government. Marrige is not supposed to be some government "formalization of love". If we fail to secure a conservative majority after this election, we are ready to discus the abolishment of marriage with the libertarian parties, so that all can have the freedom of defining marriage as they want to.

| Message | Mr Speaker, marriage in terms of Hosianism may not be a human right, but voluntary association is. The problem is that the conservatives want to restrict certain privileges only to heterosexual marriage and heterosexual couples by using government force. We do not ask for the government to recognize homosexual relationships as marriage, but we want to allow homosexuals to associate in a mutually consenting relationship as it pleases them. Therefore, we would prefer getting the government out of marriage entirely so that religious communities can set their own standards while letting private individuals do the same. Troy Overton MP Member for Magadonia Minister of Justice RFR Chairman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would not support a proposal that completely takes the government out of the marriage process since it might result in forced marriages. This is the best solutions so if the parties in Parliament would like to give homosexual equal rights as other people than they should vote yes to this bill. Sofie Hansen (R) Spokesperson for Civil Liberties |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, enough damage has been done to the institution of marriage already with the introduction of easy divorce and polygamous "marriage". It would be totally wrong to advance further along this road towards politically correct chaos. Caron Rhydderch MP Chairman of the Dranish Conservative Party |
| Date | 21:47:00, May 21, 2013 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Same Sex Marriage Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Forced marriages won't be an issue if marriage is privatized since it wouldn't legally mean anything, it would just be a ritual, an forcing people to participate in a ritual is already a matter for the police. We are increasingly supportive of a solution that withdraws marriage from the law-book, since we are tired with the definition of marriage constantly changing depending on the colour of the government.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why should we as a nation define marriage based on one religion's view, last time I check not everyone was Hosian. Petran ap Brychan Cadwallader PGR President |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Surprise, surprise. The Kazulians are coming in and trying to redefine our natural culture. It'd be in the best interest of Dranland if these pagans were sent back where they came from. Zacarías Feras Quesada President & Founder -- Falange Exaltado de Renovación Nacional |
| Date | 10:19:59, May 22, 2013 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Same Sex Marriage Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Marriage isn't necessarily a question about religion, the fact that only the union between one man and one woman is the one which can give new life, and therefore deserves special treatment, is something that applies to all humans, no matter religion. Azula Iceling, MP Party Tanist of the Werin Deg |
