| Message | "It seems to me that you are bringing evil back into this country. Why do you want to take away personal choice on such an issue? You homophobic people are under the false belief that you have a right to take away the freedom of sexuality." Festus Marcelius *Suddenly,a furious looking Progressive senator stands up: When I found out I was gay,I thought I wasn't human. Thanks to the KLP's policies,my life was in danger from those around me and from myself. But I discovered the truth,that we were taught lies,that it was ok to me to make that personal choice. I still had to hide my marriage, but this time I won't hide it. I dare one of these fat,miserable homophobes to come and break me up with my husband!" *Progressive senators stand up and cheer loudly in support.* |

| Message | We will not accept that perverts destroy the most scared national institutions. It is time to repeal the laws which have been broght to our country under the name of freedom, but in reality the only objective is to destroy families and marriage. To the right hournable member I say, that he is protected by our law within this Senate, however I ask him to say this again outside of this house in order to face personal and financial ruin by legal actions. Princeps Senatus Graf Klaus von Thenrarium (KLP) |

| Message | And how is marriage being destroyed? How are families being destroyed? We are all tired of your empty arguements. Festus Marcelius |
