| Message | Yes, let us return to the dark ages. Everyone who is good at their jobs should be in the military. The idea that gays or women are less effective or would damage our military morale or any other such nonsense is completely outdated garbage. Let all people serve in the military regardless of their gender or sexuality. -Tommy Gapard, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |

| Message | "The majority of the people in our party don't recognize homosexuality as a morally correct decision, but we still give the right to do it. We haven't been anti-Ahmadi in the slightest." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS |

| Message | The same could be said about you Unionists. Your social policies are staggering, pro ahmadi but anti-homosexual. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. And as the LPS has said, how in the hell are they anti-Ahmadi in the slightest? If we were Anti-Ahmadist then we would ban belief in Ahmadism as you have suggest banning belief in other religions. -Tommy Gapard, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |

| Message | Hypocrisy the ROS says? Reform Option is in a coalition with a party whose spokesman said a majority of its members believe homosexuality is immoral and he believes heterosexual parents make for a better environment for raising children. Maybe ROS should police their own before they attack the minority parties. |
| Date | 23:31:34, March 14, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the National Military Morale Act |
| Message | I would rather be aligned with someone who thinks that homosexuality is immoral but allows homosexuals to do legally as they please (and have the same rights before the law as everyone else) than someone who does not think homosexuality is immoral but bans them from the military and restricts their rights in other areas. |
| Date | 01:16:35, March 15, 2015 CET | From | SUN | To | Debating the National Military Morale Act |
| Message | It wasn't an issue of 'would one rather.' It is an issue of 'saying one thing and doing another.' |
| Date | 04:12:14, March 15, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the National Military Morale Act |
| Message | If they support equal rights for all people then I could care less what their personal views are about homosexuality. So long as you don't let your personal views effect policy, who cares? Hope that clears it up for you. This really is not difficult to understand. |
