Bill: Marriage privatization act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Tekàmo Kaisrne
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: October 3495
Description[?]:
Dear legislators, The Reformist Forum firmly believes in the privatization of marriage, that marriage should be legally abolished, allowing marriage laws so that individuals, churches and associations are free to define the term as they wish. This would spare us from having to debate the issue on whenever homosexual or polygamous unions can be considered a marriage. |

Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
