In an shocking annoucement made today, Gay Marriages of all kind are legal, in all 23 states of the Federation. The bill was passed in congress 23 to 873.

Why would the goverment do this? Well the president tells us " It's time to stop listning to these reloguis idiots and start reforming out great nation, I'm sick and tired of "Bible Thumpers" telling me what to do. These people deserve to marry whoever they want. Ever snice the conservitives have been voted out of power by a 98% margin it's time we stopped listning to them, All Gay marriges arre legal, Gays can do whatever they want May it be work in an Corperation or Serve starfleet. This is an law that can never be overturred, the people support it and so does our wonderful goverment"

Offical Xenonian responce.

We, as a nation (Yes, I do mean as a nation) applaud you for recognising Gay Marriage. However, we caution you to respect the rights of Religions to refuse to grant Gay Marriage - you must respect both the rights of Homosexuals to get married, and Churches to refuse, as is part of their belief system.

President-Speaker Arkady Gregorovich.

Green Sun also applauds ECF on their new law, but does not agree with Upper Xen on respecting the rights of the Churches. Jesus didn't turn people away.

Marriage will be handled through an office, People can have a cermoney at a chruch if the chruch allows it.

Although the Confederacy of Lachenburg does not contain a Homosexual minority within our territories, we hope that this new law will make your country a more happy and peaceful place.

Official Statement from the Executive Office of the President

We in the Incorporated States of Sarzonia applaud the East Coast Federation's enlightened stance toward full equality for all people, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. We believe that religions should teach their followers to love one another and not dispense hatred and we believe that government should mean that everyone is created equal.

We are appalled by this move by the ECF. A step backwards in rationality, reasoning and morality. A sad time indeed.

Prehaps you should not be so close minded, We see nothing wrong with Homosexual Marriage.
We are a 300+lightyear sized Space Nation, can't we be tolerant of every body we come across?
