OOC:
Ok, new people here! Please take note, this is a role play! IC (meaning In Character), not OOC (meaning Out Of Character). What that means is that this is all a role play, a game. This is not serious, it is not rea life! Please, this is a role play, a game. If you want to put your personal views in here, fine. Make an OOC notation (like I'm doing for this little rant), but only if you're also role playing too!. If you're not role playing in here, then go to General (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1227), where it's all real-life talk! Thank you!
IC: (MEANING ROLE PLAY!!!! Sheesh, you new people need to learn this is a game in here!)
ViZion, who has always allowed same-sex marriage, has blocked a bill trying to ban same-sex marriage. This comes after a group called EASSM (or Extremists Against Sam-Sex Marriage) tried to, once again, stop same-sex marriages.
In a poll after the bill was blocked, 83% of ViZionarians (+/- 3% error) supported the block, even if they personally do not agree with the gay lifestyle. Said one 17 year old, "I hate gays, but the government shouldn't get involved. If they did this, what's to stop them from allowing my to marry some hot-ass chick?"
President Maybury has stated multiple times that the government feels it has no right to intervene in peoples marriages. "I would hate it if I were a citizen of this great country, and all of a sudden, the government decides I can't marry who I want to. We aren't going to intervene in our peoples lives. We just aren't."
The government is expecting some back-lash from the international community, but also hopes most governments will see where we are coming from.
