| Message | As most know we do not believe government has any right in business so article 1 is explained. As for Article 2, we have no problem with gay people, they have the right to be that way, however strait people have the right not to see them acting that way. All that is being asked, to protect the rights of both gay and strait, is to have both parties do what they do in private. |

| Message | What's wrong with being openly homosexual. By preventing gay people from being open about this, you are reducing their rights. And how is having a diverse and open military hurting the rights of straight people? |

| Message | Sorry, but discrimination is not a civil right. And second, the defence busines is always linked by the state, as the state is the main client of defence industries. |

| Message | I any of you have ever been in battle you know what is wrong with having a openly gay person in the military. It is not good for either party. BCPP. Discrimination is the first civil right. We choose all the time. That is what makes us free. Making people spend time or deal with those they do not like is a violation of civil rights the same as making someone smoke, drink or watch porno. We have the right to choose, we have the right to discriminate. Sometimes freedom hurts. But it is worth it in the long run. |

| Message | no, discrimination and freedom are totaly different, they are not compatible, a person that is not allowed to serve in the military because of his sexual orientation has less freedom that a person who is straight. At the same time, if you fight on the battlefield and can't trust your teammates because you think they are gay, you have no place on a battlefield at all. your not fighting for freedom, you just dislike homosexuals.

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
