Disclaimer: This is all IN CHARACTER and it is not meant to be a debate as to the merits of particular beliefs in the real world. This is not the place for RL politics or religion. My nation does not reflect my real life beliefs all the time, so just because my nation is a single party state doesn't mean I want to live in one. Similarly, my RL views on this topic aren't reflected in those of my NS nation.
With that in mind, I’ll now state my nation’s position:
The topic of homosexuality is not a topic of much concern in Barzan (mainly because Barzan is authoritarian and people are more worried about lower needs in terms of Mazlow’s hierarchy). People are free to do what they like in private. Unofficially though, homosexuality is frowned upon, albeit for purely utilitarian reasons. The government wants people to breed so that there can be more workers, soldiers, and taxpayers. Marriage is only heterosexual, but then again marriage confers no additional benefits from the state since there is full employment, universal health care, government housing allowances, little allowed in the way of inheritance as it is, etc. Women who are married and have children, however, are given extra benefits and rewards as an incentive to help increase the population. Married women without children are treated no differently by the state than are men or unmarried women.
