Bill: Delegation of Government Control for Marriage
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Libertarian Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2035
Description[?]:
As with medicinal cannabis, it is inappropriate for the national government to dictate to the people in the various regions of Beluzia would may and may not be done in regard to the institution of marriage among homosexuals. Therefore, the Social Libertarians propose that the decision be made within each region, though the government of each region will be required to acknowledge and honor marriage licenses given to citizens of other regions. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy toward marriage.
Old value:: The government only recognises civil marriages between a man and a woman.
Current: The government allows all consenting adults to obtain civil marriage contracts.
Proposed: Civil marriages are defined by local governments.

Message | Again, we would prefer an outright legalisation. |

Message | And again, we would prefer that this issue be left to the regions. Some regions are more willing to recognize homosexual marriage than others, and it is necessary for the national government to acknowledge that instead of making sweeping, federal laws. |

Message | Yet, it again complicates things for the individual. Homosexual couples will receive differing legal rights depending on where they are in the country. It is their right to be treated the same no matter which region of Beluzia they are in. |
Date | not recorded | From | Social Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Delegation of Government Control for Marriage |
Message | To make the sudden transition from national illegality to national legality would be much too harmful for the regions where illegality is supported. The people of some regions would feel hopelessly violated by such a measure. Would you perhaps be willing to consent if the idea were attached that marriage licenses granted in regions of the nation to citizens of that region must be held valid by other regions? |

Message | Yes, that would be acceptable. |

Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
