There are currently two repeals of Resolution #81 in the queue?
And I oppose both. The first is just plain nonsense. The second, by claiming #99 protects marriage (though the word appears nowhere in the resolution), is dishonest. Whichever one comes to vote first (Shackleton's, provided it isn't deleted under the "Bloody Stupid" rule) can expect a NO vote.
Repeal "Definition of Marriage"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #81
Proposed by: Sir Ernest Shackleton
Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: This resolution goes too far. It mandates what a constitutes a "marriage" with no respect for a nation's religious beliefs, or societal structure.
The last line is also disturbing: "FURTHER RECOGNIZES all nation's right to expand this definition beyond species borders as the individual governments see fit."
This is an endorsement of beastiality, and it should have no business being in the UN. Therefore, we shall hereby strike "Definition of Marriage," knowing that the individual nations know best what is a marriage and what isn't.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #81
Proposed by: Pro-Sovereignty Babes
Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: WHEREAS, Resolution #144 affirms this United Nations should seek to “streamline and strike out superfluous and ineffective legislation.”
WHEREAS, Resolution #99, “Discrimination Accord”, already establishes the right of marriage cannot be denied to certain groups and ensures the passage of this repeal will NOT permit member states to discriminate “on the basis of differences in recognized religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, age, language, school of thought, or intelligence”;
WHEREAS, the provisions of Resolution #25,“The Child Protection Act”, already establish the age of a child as a just reason for not recognizing marriage;
WHEREAS, the resolution neglects to include as part of a definition of marriage any condition of consent;
WHEREAS, Resolution #81, “Definition of Marriage”, is ineffective because it fails to describe what social rights and obligations being able to marry entails. Without this, Resolution #81 safeguards nothing;
ESTABLISHES “Definition of Marriage” as ineffective and unnecessary;
REPEALS United Nations Resolution #81, “Definition of Marriage.”
