| Message | We are only voting "no" to this because we believe that rights such as these should be universal. There are many other current laws we will happily agree to set to the "set by local governments" state. |

| Message | Universal rights are an outragous suggestion, different cultures cannot be subject to one universal policy, they must be free to set their own policies. |
