Group and gay marriage legalized
The Federal Government has passed controversial new legislation that will see JRVian law officially recognize polygamous and homosexual relationships. The Marriage Amendment Bill (Groups and Gays) was passed unanimously and with little debate amongst parliamentarians today.
Extra Conservative MP's were unhappy with the idea of gay marriage being implemented into law, but said that it was a small price to pay to have more than one wife.

We praise this, of course!
Krioval favors this transition. So long as all parties are informed and consenting, we see no reason to interfere in any contractual or religious arrangements between citizens, and we are glad other nations agree.

Very good! Death to the moral system that divides us. The Holy Empire sopports you and your choice. Hopefully you will also ban religion, except that which worships me, and Patrick Swazey. Praise Patricia.
The Oppressed Peoples of Academe applaud this bold step. We assume that group marriages are equally available for all gender combinations. All marriages conferred by JRV will be recognized in Academe.
Less than 24 hours after the new legislation was passed, a number of high-ranking politicians and other civil servants have announced that they are marrying their mistresses.

This is insane! Marriage is a religious union between a man and a woman, and the idea that people can be married to multiple people just as bad! If you truly love someone, you should be willing to spend your life with them and no one else!
We condem this, as it is against everything God created. Currently, the Senate is discussing a bill that will define marriage.

1) OOC: I find it ironic that your avatar identifier is "pimp."
2) IC: Bravo! The Grand Patriarch is sending a bottle of Nargopia's finest wine as a congratulations gift.
"The Commander apparently reacted to the news in JRV by having a passionate orgy - with the Directors of the Military, Diplomacy, and Domestic Security. Let's just say that I'd hate to break into *that* house tonight!"

JRV thanks Academe and others in the international community for their support of this radical new legislation, a bold step in the fight for freedom. Religious oppression must be eliminated on all fronts.

The predominately liberal and secular JRV Government laughs at Neo Earth. Apart from the fact that your Bible condones polygamous relationships, religion has no place in the governance of our Republic.
