| Message | Members of Parliament, PCP has for several years advocated for LGBT equality in this country. We have spoken in the legislature. We have introduced failed bills to legalize same sex marriage nationwide in each legislative session. We attempted to block and then repeal the ban on LGBT members in the military. We have taken our case to voters. And today, we are proud to finally bring a bill to the floor that accomplishes both of these objectives and likely has the votes necessary to pass. No longer will our fellow citizens be treated as second class citizens. They will be afforded equal rights in marriage and in military service. Alexandra Romero Prime Minister of Gaduridos |
| Date | 14:39:12, February 03, 2022 CET | From | Libertarian Socialist Party (LSP/PSL) | To | Debating the LGBT Equality Act of 5068 |
| Message | Mr.Speaker, The SPP will support this bill, we shall not let the LGBT community wait any longer. Juan Hernandez Leader of the Parliamentary SPP |
| Date | 19:24:05, February 03, 2022 CET | From | Universal | To | Debating the LGBT Equality Act of 5068 |
| Message | Dear Members of Parliament, Universal has always endorsed and advocated for the traditional norms and roots that have established this Glorious Country. To allow this deviant act of nature to penetrate into our families and schools will be a shameful act. I call upon all Gaduris to publicly denounce this bill and for once and for all ban this from our communities. Jack Klaus Universal Parliamentary Leader |
| Date | 23:54:22, February 03, 2022 CET | From | Progressive Conservative Party | To | Debating the LGBT Equality Act of 5068 |
| Message | Members of Parliament, We believe that this bill has remained in debate for long enough. PCP understands that these are contentious issues, but we truly believe that these policy changes are necessary for our country. These are basic human rights we are currently denying some of our fellow citizens. It is time for change. Alexandra Romero Prime Minister of Gaduridos |
| Date | 00:04:28, February 04, 2022 CET | From | Party of the New Orderist Front | To | Debating the LGBT Equality Act of 5068 |
| Message | Members of Parliament, The Party of the New Orderist Front fully places its support behind equal marriage rights, as any two citizens of our beautiful country, regardless of gender, deserve the same treatment under the law. The state has no right to deny two legal consenting citizens from binding their love within marriage. However, the Party of the New Orderist Front does somewhat oppose the acceptance of Homosexuality within the military, as it is believed that no sexuality should even be discussed in the first place, nor is our military the place for romantic relations. This can however be put aside for the good of the people, and the Party of the New Orderist Front places its support to pass this bill through Parliament. Party Parliamentary Representative Dylan von Königtum |
