An advertisement battle over the morality and acceptability of "coming out of the closet" is taking place on Betelgeuse's buses, with different factions presenting their vehement cases on these moving billboards. Groups on all sides are demanding the government step in, soothe egos, and take action.

"This is disgusting, and I shouldn't have to see it," declares Wil Longbottom, a particularly prudish representative of Orthodox Christianity, "Have we forgotten that Aztox is a country founded on traditional values, not least the sanctity of the relationship between man and woman? These deviants have no respect for what is natural and are spreading a sickness through my country, so I have a god-given right to educate the people about it. I say we ought to ban these LGBwhatever posters and divert some government funds to reminding the people of Aztox what it truly means to be a virtuous soul!"

"This whole culture is foul, and we shouldn't perpetuate it," argues daily commuter, Jazz McKay, "Surely the point of public transportation is to quickly get people to work or wherever, not to bombard them with fringe political causes. We should do away with advertising on government services and properties altogether, as well as pour some more money into our public transportation network. Then Betelgeuse would have the best transport in the world."
