| Message | Mr. Chairman, The love between a man and woman is abolute. The love between 2 people of the same gender can be acceptable but marriage should not be a thing that anyone may aquire. Marriage should be something special and should be a right for heterosexuals. We are willing to accept a homogenous society but some rights for the hetero sexual is needed to ensure our nation wont lose its identity as a Hosian beacon of tradition.
