| Message | Mr Speaker, marriage has its benefits for society indeed, and that's exactly why we should not restrict it to heterosexual couples. We also oppose the proposal to harshly restrict the legality of divorce, recognizing that marriages who would no longer exist without governmental coercion have already failed.
