| Message | What is wrong with homosexuality? Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, Virginia Woolf are examples from the top of my head of people are homosexual or bisexual and have achieved great things. To discriminate on the basis of sexuality is narrow minded and intolerant and belongs in the Dark Ages. |

| Message | Homosexuality is unnatural and hardly something that should be encouraged by the state. To discriminate against such an unhealthy lifestyle is what any decent party would campaign for. |

| Message | Why is it unhealthy? Also it is not unnatural, it has been happening for tens of thousands of years, probably as long as heterosexuality. This is just your prejudice. You don't like homosexuality, that is all. |
| Date | 23:23:33, January 09, 2007 CET | From | True Valruzians | To | Debating the Degenerate Bill |
| Message | Why is it unhealthy? Because the kind of sex that homosexuals engage in is the easiest with which to spread sexually transmitted diseases (of course this means that heterosexuals that practice that kind of sex are also guilty of this). Of course it is unnatural. What is the natural reason for sex? Well, the natural reason concerns the survival of the species, which of course homosexuals have nothing to do with. |

| Message | So Alan Turing, the man credited to inventing the computer and played a pivotal role in defeating Germany in WW2 had done nothing to help the survival of the species? |
| Date | 21:22:42, January 13, 2007 CET | From | True Valruzians | To | Debating the Degenerate Bill |
| Message | Thats not even a serious point. One had no problems with you mentioning real life people, but to mentiona real life context is inanely stupid in a RP'd nation, with RP'd parties and RP'd events. And if you are really looking for an an in game answer, then no. Survival of the species depends upon the reproduction of that species, not its ability to defeate other members of the same species in warfare. |
