Natural Law Party Platform 2000: on Civil Rights


Uphold laws guaranteeing equal opportunity, not quotas

The Natural Law Party believes that affirmative action is a necessary evil - a stop-gap measure to prevent discrimination. However, the Party does not support quotas, since we feel that representatives of all sectors of society find quotas to be demeaning and a source of resentment in the workplace. The Natural Law Party upholds laws guaranteeing equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.

Same sex marriage is not a government issue

Government should not attempt to legislate morality or to intervene in the private moral decisions of its citizenry. Therefore, on principle, the Natural Law Party will not draft legislation to discriminate against, nor to actively support, same-sex marriage.
