From | | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | This bill is unfair to religions that accept homosexual marriages. In the name of freedom of religion I must oppose this bill. |

From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | What religions accept homosexual marriage? Why does the fact some small religions accept homosexual marriages mean the rest of the nation must follow suit? |

From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | "Protestant that are self-centered and favor religious rules in government, that is." Didnt you just say you oppose this bill because some religions accept homosexual marriage? |

From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | Religious same-sex marriages are already performed in Unitarian Universalist churches, some Reform synagogues, Quaker (Friends General Conference) congregations, and by the Metropolitan Community Church. This reads like a who's-who of world religion doesnt it. Lets change our constitution so the Unitarian Universalist church isnt offended. |

From | | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | I don't care if they're offended or not, fact of the matter is that if you're allowed to practice your religion than they should be allowed to practice theirs. If you don't like homos then don't let them marry in your church. If the government was trying to force churches to marry gay people I'd be with you. |

From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | The current policy allows the majority of religions that condemn homo marriages open to lawsuits. I think the govt should only recognise hetero marriages and gays can still be gay just not married. They can still practise their religion, their religion doesnt say they all have to marry men does it? |
| Date | not recorded |
From | | To | Debating the Ban on Homosexual Marriage | | Message | No, but it says they can. If churches were protected against lawsuits would you accept that? |
