| Message | The Hutori First Party believes that Marriage is a Sacred union between a man and a woman, and therefore only a male and a female should be able to marry. Legalising Gay Marriage opens us up to other marriages such as Polygamy and Incest. Keeping marriage between a man and a woman is important as it sets out the values of traditional families. Tarissa Westren Leader of Hutori First |

| Message | This is an insult against Hutorian values. The government shouldn't even be bothering with marriage. This is a matter between two people that chose to be together. While we would never condone incest gay marriage is not something we should be concerning ourselves with. Leah Ross Prime Minister of Hutori RAH MP for Port Prosperity Docks |
