MAC ANU-In a landmark legislation event Gay Marriage is officially legalized within the Queendom and All it's Jurisdictions. RPB # 1487 proposed by noted Lesbian Grand Dutchess of the Royal Parliament and law maker Marina Antonioni which has been in debate for over a year was finally passed 120-97 on Monday.
"For long, I have struggled to get my bill the attention it deserves," said Grn.Dutc. Antonioni "And finally it was recognized, voted and passed on." Marina presiced her bill despite threats of motioning for a veto and for her removal from the stand. Neither Queen Akoowa nor Princess Akoowa have plans to Veto the bill or remove her from her position. "I'm more than greatfull the bill passed." Said Marina's spouse Admiral Dutch Payton, who also helped advocate the bill.
Homosexuality in Aqua Anu isn't as open as one may think. While the tolerance rate is exceptionally high for this conservative state, the status has always been low. Homosexuality was first outlawed in the Queendom in 1720, by Queen Dutch Churchill I. Churchill was a strong Catholic and belived strongly in purity and tradtion of the nation. In 1965 Princess Rosette Hillard urged her mother to legalize it. What Queen Hillard didn't know was her adopted daughter Rosette was her self a Lesbian. When Rosette died of a drug overdose Hillard attempted to legalize Gay marriage but with great opposition from the people. Instead she legalized Civil Unions and kept many of the old restrictions in place.
Now with this new legalization of Marriage, gay and lesbian couples can get a marriage license adopt children and be recognized under the law as legit partners.
"I'm very happy," said lesbian Mona Evans. "If my partner (who is an industrial water worker) ever had to go to the emergency room, I was never allowed to stay with her, I had to wait, but if it was a different gender couple they could stay as long as they like and get all the information they wanted. "
To surprise Princess Subaru, a devout Catholic, posed no opposition to the bill. "It's our desire to make this a democratic state with plenty of civil liberties. As long as no harm is done, (which none ever is by homosexual couples) I see no reason to stop it." Of course her Agnostic mother could be expected to not oppose it either. "Stop blending religion and politics, my daughter doesn't, why should you?" She grumpily told Aqua Today.
On the flip side those that are opposed to it think the Queendom is going to hell in a hand basket. "We need to maintain order," says concerned mother "How can we if we don't keep tradition alive?" "First gay marriage, then we'll be murding children with abortion." Says Pastor.
Without a doubt Aqua Anu is changing. Some say it's good, others bad. Maybe one day the monarch will be no more, some are wondering.
