Also keep Non - MT nations/beings out of it. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT WRITE ONE - LINERS OR I WILL REPORT YOU! ONLY DETAILED MULTI - LINE POSTS! Thank you.

GAY PRIDE BANNED!
CONSERVATIVE PROTESTS MAKE BAN ON GAY PRIDE!

Governor Murakami Taro on press conference.

Mikurajima - 27.06.2015

Today at 11.00 governor of Mikurajima prefecture, Murakami Taro called for a press conference about the gay pride issue that was touched in the city. On the press conference, with support of various conservative groups, Governor Taro declared that gay pride that has been registered on 1st July was permanently suspended and banned as being threat to public security. This made various conservative groups that were protesting the parade for at least two days celebrate. Meanwhile representative of LGBT movement of Mikurajima called the ban "violating of human rights" and stated that he will attempt to go to court with the verdict of local prefecture governor.

The whole issue begun four days ago, when Kiyabu Yuriko, leader of LGBT association of Mikurajima, registered a "march for equality" in local city hall. At first, it made no bigger problems, since the LGBT propaganda ban enacted by Shogun Maki Kojiro bans propaganda among minors and in media, and never banned gay prides in specific. Though two members of LGBT association of Mikurajima were already arrested for breaking that ban, rest of preparations for parade remained intact. Mikurajima prefecture is one of few that did not enact gay pride bans, because the state level regulations do not targeted the parades themselves and instead focused on what was considered "LGBT information warfare against Nihonese culture". Additionally, Kojiro never banned LGBT people serving in armed forces (as long as they do not go public with their orientation, sort of "don't ask, do not tell" policy) and allowed them to donate blood provided passing certain tests like all other citizens. Still, Nihon does not has any anti - discrimination laws (Kojiro stated that it is his personal issue if he feels offended or not, and that state does not care about that; if he thinks that state will care about his lack of balls to take an insult, he is wrong, and if there are serious crimes, they are regulated by other laws), ban on gender change and Nihon does not recognize same sex marriages taken in other countries.

As soon as the parade was announced, local conservative groups quickly seized the streets with thousands of people leaving their homes to protests against the incoming parade. Hino Rei, chairman of local office of ruling National Restoration Party called the pride an "abomination" and stated "it seems that cultural Marxism is coming to Nihon. How about we send it back home - to hell?" Local pastor of Nihonese Imperial Church, Shiro Katashi, said during his sermon "When our first shogun led his samurai on Shimazu against the pagan emperor and defeated him in battle, we were led by two ideas; honour and God. The same two ideas call us again today. Strike at plague that comes to our land today, and remember words of our Saviour: "whoever hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one." God be with you!" The thousands of people who protested for few days were trurly an enormous number, but the protests went mostly peaceful; partially because leaders of main nationalist groups promised to halt violence until the gay pride begins, but stated openly that they will not allow it to pass for the sake of "Nihonese national spirit".

The governor, however, learned about the planned parade from local sources and as soon as he learned he and members of prefecture assembly alongside General - Diamyo from local military district enacted first suspension, then infinite ban on the parade. In today press conference he explained why:

"It is in my overwhelming view that local people do not want this gay parade and minority will not enforce it's will over majority" he stated during his explanation "I am pretty sure that the moment the parade will come, various nationalist groups in this region will come with it - and considering how much they outnumber the 117 who so far signed up for parade, out of over two million people big city, I see only one result of that march, and I will not accept civil disorder in my city. Therefore, to prevent civil unrest and protect life and health of all citizens of my region, such steps will be conducted. I will not allow this parade to take place, for Nihonese people clearly stated that they do not want it. According to last poll results 87% of people said "no", therefore it is my duty to respect it. Minority will not dictate Nihonese how we should behave in our own home."

Governor Murakami already enlisted use of Prefecture Militia to help prevent eventual riots, and at the same time Kiyabu Yuriko stated that they will attempt to get pride going.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM MIKURAJIMA GOVERNMENT.

ATTN: The Government of New Hayesalia,
FROM: Mikurajima perfectural government.
SUBJ: The LGBT parrade.

GREETINGS WITH HONOUR!

First, I must inform you, dear sir, that the ban was enacted exactly for the same reason as Nihonese bill of rights was written; to protect life. I will not dispute legitimacy of your claims now, but I will inform you that LGBT citizens have the same right to live as other citizens of our nation, and that is exactly why the ban was enacted. We are talking here about Nihon, which culturally and mentally is different from western societies which were in modern times based on liberalism; Nihon has much different way of thinking.

I do not hate anybody, and I do not wish LGBT citizens harm. And that is exactly why after at first telling that I partially agree, I decided to ban it. You see, dear sir, what made me ban it were overwhelming protests carried by people of my prefecture, who in overwhelming majority expressed their will for this parade NOT to proceed. May I ask you, why should a government for the people and me as democratically elected governor should disprove will of my people?

Additionally I have to remind you that declaration to come on pride was signed by 117 people out of over two million citizens of my prefecture. At least thirty thousand were in first day of protests below my residence demanding me to ban parade. And I must inform you, dear sir, that there is no chance this parade would NOT had ended in violence considering public opinion about the parade. Therefore, I must protect my citizens - both those from LGBT movement and opposing it - and enforce order, as is my duty as governor.

Thank you, I hope you understand.

LOCAL LGBT PARADE TURNS VIOLENT
SCC: "They [LGBT] should be more concerned in family-building."

Ilyanograd, Social Democratic Quirina -- Over 2,000 LGBT Pride parade participants went into a violent furor with the participants of a local public mass recently after the trend of call to demonstrate Gay Power hit the marks in social media.

Police on riot gear went into the scene to apprehend the LGBT peoples for "starting the cause of clash" and "disrespecting belief-based domains".

Mark Ernstback, a spokesperson for the local LGBT community, said that their parade was permitted and gave specifics to where its route would be, but "it seems the church near that path did not heed us coming". Celebrating a Sunday mass, Rev. Albert Stale knew of the event, but "as churchgoers go here, I cannot dare say they are in God's premises when they want to cross the church zone and the number of people overflowing our small chapel is blocking their Parade".

The heated exchange between the churchgoers and the Pride participants went into a series of fistfights that grew into a massive riot, abruptly ending the mass and the police swiftly responding. According to witnesses, it was from the LGBT side that the clash started, with "a gay guy painted in rainbow, splashed a bottle of water to an old lady he's yelling at because she insists of standing on their way to listen to the Mass." This was denied with a counter statement saying that someone from the churchpeople threw a small bible at them and the fistfight started.

Over 300 were injured from both sides and most of the arrested were from the LGBT, now claiming the "the government is not supporting their rights, a criminal and inhuman government they are". The Social Democratic government denied that their rights as citizens are not denied and the law is upheld, said by the chief press secretary Aleksandr Simanovsky. Supreme President Victorio del Val denied also of such accusation and still see the LGBT community "an asset of communism and socialism, which is only tolerated in SDQ.

To the Shogun Kojiro of the Greater Empire of Nihon

I congratulate you on a job well done, putting these inferiors away I am surprised on how you were able to tolerate them at all? Never mind it is always the case with them the more rights they have, the more they will abuse them as well as abusing the innocent bystanders who may or may not of supported them they always claim they want tolerance yet they are among the most intolerant people there is. Anyway over here not long after I took the throne of Bolrieg I had 9000 of them burnt at the stake all at once in Shadforad, then I gained instant popularity for taking a stance on such depravity, hopefully they will all be gone, I wish you the best of luck in destroying them and if you want I'll arrange for the Jalnatzic to set up shop over there.

Good day sir

Nihonese Gay Pride Ban comes under criticism

Countess Clara of Lyralea speaks on LGBT discrimination in Nihon

^{SHARE THIS:}

^{Saturday June 27 2015, 23:00 | Emerald Bay, Allied Connurist States}

Today there has been uproar and strong public outcry in response to the ban on gay pride in the Nihonese prefecture of Mikurajima, which came about after a registered and planned peaceful parade came under verbal attack from hostile traditionalists and social conservatives. Following this, Governor Murakami Taro issued a ban on gay pride itself and failed to condemn those responsible for this disgusting act of intolerance, saying that ‘Minority will not dictate how we should behave in our own home’, and Shiro Katashi, a pastor of the Nihonese Imperial Church, called for violence against those who dare have an alternate sexual preference to the majority of Nihonese people, saying ‘Strike at plague that comes to our land today.’

Nihon is already infamous for its overall anti-LGBT sentiments and standpoints, with a total ban on gender change and a failure to recognise same-sex marriages.

These events prompted Countess Clara Armstrong, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Lyralea, to speak publicly about the matter in a press conference earlier today. “This intolerance is absolutely disgusting and is a violation of basic and fundamental human rights.” she said in an impassioned speech advocating equality. “The Nihonese tell us that this is merely democracy, but it is clear to all that this is simply tyranny of the majority. Simply because more people want to oppress those who they view as different does not make such actions justifiable or right.”

The young Countess has already received large support on social media for calling out the actions of Governor Murakami Taro, although she did not stop there. “I find it disgraceful that people seek to legitimate these actions via religion. As a Christian myself, I believe that God loves all people equally regardless of ethnicity, gender, social class or sexuality, for his benevolence knows no bounds. To think that a loving God could ever advocate violence or hatred is a complete misreading of biblical texts.” she stated, showing herself to be a part of the 2.7% of Connurists who hold faith in God.

“My prayers are with Nihon.” she said in conclusion. “I stand with the LGBT community and I can only hope that love wins, and that these nationalists may see the error of their ways.”

Progressive Republican Capitol Building
Landintown, Progressive Republic of Aanglandia
Unified Progressive Empire

Like any civilised country, the Unified Progressive Empire was tolerant of all sexual orientations and genders. However what it would not tolerate, is monosexual supremacy. 93% of the population of the Unified Progressive Empire is bisexual, with monosexuals (heterosexuals and homosexuals) making up almost all of the rest. Monosexuals faced no discrimination or disadvantages, they had all the rights and respect of the dominant bisexuals. However a subsection of the monosexual community, the heterosexuals, were not content with their equality. They wanted more. They wanted supremacy. In an unregistered protest, around 5000 militant heterosexual supremacists marched toward the Progressive Republican Capitol Building in the Progressive Republic of Aanglandia (the UPE's regional government in Aanglandia) armed with baseball bats, Molotov cocktails, knives and swords. They caused massive traffic jams, the slow moving front of extremists. When they finally got to their target, which they intended to burn down. Around a 1000 Progressive Revolutionary Guards and even more police and fire crews were awaiting them, to put them in their rightful place (beneath the bisexuals).

"Comrade. We have evacuated all citizens from the forward buildings, the troops and water cannonss are in place." said a soldier to an old man in a suit.

"Good comrade. I don't want a single one to escape. The Ministry of State Security has need for counter-revolutionaries; they are not a renewable resource." the old man in the suit chuckled. He listened into something on his ear piece, and then gave a signal for the soldiers to get into position.

The Progressive Republican Capitol Building, was at the end of a long square. With other state buildings along the side, leaving a wide entrance of about 50 metres and a length of about 500 metres. Flat stone was laid across the centre of the square. At the building at the end, was a large staircase, lined with armed soldiers. Beside, two massive water cannons were placed; with more soldiers another two ready in reserve to come around from behind and trap the heterosexual supremacists. Other soldiers were hiding in the buildings, ready to start opening fire on the supremacists when given the order. While only rubber bullets were being used, some would be seriously injured and even die, however most would survive and then be used to further the UPE's science and medicine.

At about 11:07, the heterosexual supremacists started entering the square. A few minutes later they were all inside, and approaching the staircase. Still defiant as they clung to their weapons.

The old man in the suit, spoke into his earpiece; then less than a minute later two water cannons and a few hundred soldiers came around from the back to box the counter-revolutionaries in the square. This clearly frightened them, they paused for a moment, then charged straight for the staircase. The man gave the order.

Powerful jets of water and hundreds of rubber bullets came speeding towards the counter-revolutionaries. They collapsed like dominoes, and the ones in the rear tried to retreat, but were mowed down from the sides and from behind. This was all being filmed by news crews, from vantage points on the buildings and from helicopters in the sky; so the world would know the crimes of these heterosexual supremascists.

Of the 5000 strong horde, 56 were killed, 945 would suffer permanent disabilities and deformities, and almost half would need hospital treatment due to the nature of their wounds. The dead were taken to an organ centre, so their organs could be removed if possible, to save the lives of those who wound need it, if not possible they would be used for medical training before being cremated.

"Comrade. We have put the survivors in trucks, they are ready to depart." said a young female in a blouse and skirt.

"Good comrade. We will be taking them to our facility to the north, I'll meet you there." said the old man. "They will be of much use to Section 1." he said with almost a sadistic grin on his face.

An Official Public Statement
Encryption: None.
Subject: The state of LGBT Affairs in the city of Mikurajima and in the nation of Nihon.

Our good friends in Nihon,

Majority rules, minority rights. This has always been a fundamental concept of freedom and democracy. The majority may set the agenda, allowing the will of the people to represented. That being said, the rights of the minority must be protected. In many ways, this is no more apparent than with the sexual minority. Sexuality is an inherently private subject. The laws of the state should allow citizens the right to love whomever they please, without interference from the sexual majority, whoever the majority may be at the time. This is consistent with the mission statement of freedom that the Santiago Anti-Communist Treaty Organization espouses.

However, in order for this privacy to be achieved, publicization of the cause must be achieved. However hypocritical it may sound, it is necessary for the wider public to become aware of the plight of the minority. In the case of the sexual minority, a pride parade is one of the most effective ways to spread awareness of the plight of said minority. However, the troubles we have seen here has not come from the LGBT community, but rather, the wider culture and domestic policy of Nihon.

One of the most troubling part is the bizarre restriction of freedom of expression. As a famed writer once said, “Wrong does not cease to be wrong simply because the majority shares in it.” If the majority do not prefer the idea of homosexuality, that is not an excuse to suppress the rights of homosexuals. They can simply stay in their homes and ignore it. The idea of homosexuality should not be offensive to them, but if it is, they can simply ignore it.

The most disturbing part of this entire issue is the failure of the government to perform one of the most basic function of the state - protect all of their people. Whether these people have a sexual preference for men or women, they all are entitled to protection by the state, in this case, by the government of Nihon. If a state does not protect its people, what is it? What good does it serve? Why could the pride parade simply not be watched in order to ensure the paraders were not assaulted? That way, everyone goes home safe and happy.

The United States of Conner has always, and will always, stand by Nihon. However, the USC cannot stay quiet while the abuse of one of the fundamental rights of a human being, the right to love whomever you love, is taken away. We call on our SACTO ally, as a defender of freedom against the communist menace, to not sink to the level of the atrocities committed by the Ardokians and their ilk, to allow these people their freedom, the freedom to love who they want, and express that however they wish.

May you all have a pleasant day,

Subject: Your Persecution of LGBTQ+ Individuals
Classification: Public

The actions of the Nihonese government and sentiment of the majority of its citizens profoundly shocks our government to the core. As a modern civilised state, we don't discriminate or judge people based on their sexual orientation, monosexuals (heterosexuals and homosexuals) have all the same rights as bisexuals and are not looked down upon in the slightest in our progressive society. The sexual activity of legally consenting individuals is not of the state's concern, except in backward traditionalist states such as Nihon. We formally condemn the Nihonese government for allowing such persecution, which includes a ban on "same-sex propaganda" (not allowing LGB individuals to state that they are not heterosexual or asexual). However we understand that it is of no fault of the Nihonese people that they are primitive savage barbarians, and we invite them to modernise their society and join the civilised world.

Greetings,

On behalf of the Riysian FAR, we announce our support for Nihon against these condemnations. We like to note how quick nations are to rush to the defense of an extremely small group of minorities who's defining feature is who they like to perform deviant acts with, while they drag their feet on more pressing issues. The hypocrisy seen here is amusing as it is saddening - a nation is only considered democratic when they follow a certain set of rules, otherwise they're considered mob rule. At the very least, Nihon is unashamed of holding to what it believes.

On this note, neither I, nor I believe the leadership of Nihon, sees any reason to go out of our way - or in the case of Riysa, at all - to accommodate a near negligible percentage of our population, especially when there are way more pressing concerns in the world. To say that its because they're human beings is a poor argument; Geoffrey Dahmer and Iosef Stalin were both human beings also. Does this mean that we should start letting rapists and murders walk free because they're human beings as well?

Sincerely,
Tawfiq al-Hiwari

OFFICIAL BROADCAST OF THE SHOGUN MAKI KOJIRO

All concerned parties about issue in Mikurajima,

Let it be known to world that I, as leader of Nihon, have nothing to hide as a person, and I do admit that I do not, and never will, support homosexuality until my soul leaves my body to link up with Almighty. But, facts be facts, let us state things that need to be stated. In 2007, when Kurosawa Tsugiharu proposed law criminalizing homosexuality and punishment of death or lifetime imprisonment, the bill was about to pass; I stopped it. I stopped it because I care for my citizens and I do believe that LGBT people should not be killed, even if they made morally wrong choice to start liking the same gender. I vetoed it and did not allow it to pass. Yet I remain in opposition - and God's willing will - to any LGBT movement in this country. I myself took action against it and ensured it will not reach minds of our men. Why? I will attempt to portray so below.

The issue to begin with is that outsiders do not understand how Nihonese society works. Nihonese culture never took from European enlightenment and it's philosophy; for first, we come from totally different civilisation, second, such philosophy is contrary to what we believe in as culture. If one of you visited Ishikawa, you would have seen how different are the Nihonese from citizens of your nations. The difference is most visible in mentality; Nihonese are more tradition - loving and collective minded than people of the west. Nihonese have strong need to belong and be part of a social group; weather if is family, corporation, or as in this case, church or nation. This type of bond is crucial in here; if Nihonese feel that they belong to something, they are expected to give their life for that group, and believe me, many will die for them gladly. Betrayal (unless carried by moral right) is highest dishonour, after which family has to shun such member. Life of Nihonese is no based on how much he can do to himself, but how much he can do to others.

Those believes and differences need to be explained to understand position of LGBT members in our society. Over 90% of Nihonese follow teachings of various Christian denominations, mostly Imperial Churches Association. And due to specific bond, Nihonese, as society, take their faith very seriously. Our culture is based on martyrdom; and it is their glory from which we take inspiration from. Majority Nihonese stated openly that they do follow this religion and they wish that fact to be respected. Christianity IS basis of culture in Nihon, alongside with warrior code (Bushido). And Christianity does proclaim homosexuality to be evil.

Clara-San has no idea what she is speaking about. I will allow myself to quote Apostle Paul's Epistle to Romans, chapter one: "26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." With no offence to Clara-San, I doubt she is a Christian, as she gave no biblical verse for her claim, instead just pointing to God's love. God' s love is why we are still alive, for God is loving and fair; but also is just. And justice can not be achieved without keeping evil in check.

However, seeing this, I may state "why the situation looks like that?" I will allow myself to explain why I, alongside with Nihonese people who put me into office, believe that homosexuality is wrong. Nothing is banned because it just is; if something is banned, it is because it does harm.

The homosexuality was always seen as bad in our culture. The thing is, that in many other ones too. Please do not tell me that having right to engage in homosexual relations is fundamental civil right; since I do not remember Nihon signing any document mentioning LGBT marriage. Each culture, on the other hand, had restrictions on who you can marry. You can not marry your sister. You can not go to bed with your mother. You can not go to bed with young person. These restrictions were created for something; protecting the most beautiful invention in this world: traditional family. Traditional family that can not be simply man' s design, it must be divine, since it serves so many function at once.

The purpose of LGBT movement is not to help certain people within Nihon; it's only purpose is to enforce minority rule and it's opinions on everybody as it goes. The movement has some dark issues associated with it, issues that I must state what Nihonese researchers found; and that fact is widespread practice of acts that could be only called disgusting by normal person, sexual practices that have no place to be even mentioned. There is a reason why the LGBT movement is being eaten and rotten by STDs (roughly 78% of homosexuals are affected by at least one kind of STD), and similarly, why so many of people from this movement have mental troubles.

It is in belief of Nihonese people that marriage is only between man and woman. First, marriage served always to create children - what homosexuals can not do. The purpose of marriage is mostly procreation and bringing children up. The research carried on my personal order proven that children brought up in gay families possess enormous mental health problems caused by lack of one parent. Man can now replace woman nor woman can replace father. This is quintessence of this issue; this acts are unnatural. Homosexuals can not even have sex and search for substitute using body parts that were not meant for this activity - and thus STDs eat them alive.

For that reason, Nihonese people declare that we as a nation do not want a movement whose only purpose is to destroy our culture to roam our country freely, which is a belief to which we have full right, the same as you have right to call us "bigots" or "homophobes". I will myself ensure that they can live as long as they do not attempt to move to push their ideas on us; but if they come to promote their ideology, being only other more emanation of cultural Marxism - expect our right to protect ourselves.

At last, I will allow myself to answer to Ardoki: yeah, you do not discriminate, you just kill everybody outright if there is a shadow that he is consecrative. Our government took steps to protect life, both LGBT and nationalist; and you just slaughter people. Just a good news for whole words: Ardokians are cowards who will lick your feet once you show the missile. Just remember how they gotten slaughtered in Lebanon.

Thank you, and may God bless you all!

Official Message from Supreme Chancellor Ríonach R. L. Ó Faoláin

As a committed Progressive Socialist I am really disturbed by the behaviour of the Nihonese warlord Maki Kojiro. Luckily in the Unified Progressive Empire, such people do not exist, and if we do we help them get rehabilitated. How tortuous it would be, to not be left-wing. I'm sure the Ministry of State Security can cure him of reactionaryism, and help him become a progressive just like my excellent self.

However I would like to ask him just a little question. So I can better understand his ignorant position.
How does the private sexual activity of consenting adults, threaten to destroy Nihon?
I've been thinking about this intensely, and I am still stumped on how he could think LGB individuals could destroy his entire country just by having sex. I'm really starting to believe this warlord is insane.

Supreme Chancellor Ó Faoláin out.

Official Statement of the Supreme President Victorio del Val

To all concerned parties of nations, specifically to the Unified Progressive Empire,

This day is remarkable for the social justice to show its true face: that there is no single inch of justice in society except the prejudice of the selected apartheid in a community such as the LGBT. The close-mindedness of the pro- and anti-factions of the said group is sending a clear message that their ideals are based on the material needs of man. Greed pursues its uttermost goal in mankind, and this should be given attention. The world is not the best place to live and only one can say otherwise, and beyond belief, people like the ones from the Unified Progressive Empire are nothing more than scoundrels that call themselves a nation.

The Quirinese society is diverse, and accepted even the vilest of beliefs, however, this should be not a reason for their belief to commit a crime. Let us be reminded what the UPE is all about, and I say, on behalf of those adherents of Quirinese social democracy, and as their Father of the Fatherland, they disgrace their UPE social democratic counterparts for one sole reason: they are not family-oriented.

They, the Quirinese social democrats, now ask the UPE socdems these:
- How does your country define "culture" and "personal belief"?
- How does your social democracy work without even using any form of democracy at the first place?
- Do you really know the price of democracy in the first place?
- Why is your nation afraid of being coherent to its principles?
- Why can't you understand that family is the basic unit of any society in any country?
- Why do you not understand that family only exists with a mother figure and a father figure?
- What is your best alternative to sex (as a reproductive process)?
- Why is your nation so proud in their government-sponsored terrorism?
- Why is your government viewing those who believed on their own to be insane and claim itself as the right-minded one?
- Why do you claim to be a perfect nation? What is your basis in all this? How do you define perfection?
- If ever the LGBT members soar high, do you think love can replace bread and butter?

We are not just talking about the actions of Ardoki, but of UPE. It may stand for what they know is right, but they seem to derail for what they truly believe and being viewed as either alien, insane, misunderstood, immature and/or all of the above. We don't care how you stand for your beliefs, as this was all your governments' faults. Knowing Ardoki's records of multiple cases of massacres, genocides and killings as if the human body is a playtoy for political arena, we don't see any reason for the UPE to question the Dai Nihon Teikoku's sanity and must reconsider looking at their own mirror (if they even have the mirror or even the hand to look at one).

50 years from now, your tolerance and legitimacy to bisexuality will make UPE nothing more but a pile of papers written by historians that might be also misunderstood as former patients from a mental rehabilitation center.

You're mostly welcome.

The official ideology of the Unified Progressive Empire is Progressive Socialism. We do not adhere to Social Democracy.

- The UPE is proud to be the home of a culture based upon the principles of Progressive Socialism. Personal belief is any belief a person may have which is restricted to them and not the greater society.
- While we are not a Social Democratic state, we are a democracy. Progressive Socialism allows the entire citizenry to engage in democracy trough the Party. This democracy is not divisive like multi-party democracy, but unites everyone through the Progressive Socialist Labour Party.
- Our democracy is the best. It ensures that everyone has a say in the running of the state. I myself, through the democratic pyramid of Party congresses, was elected to my position in the Party and in the government.
- The Unified Progressive Empire firmly abides by all the principles of Progressive Socialism.
- The family is not the basic unit in society. The state it. Through our public education system, we teach our children how the family is a unit for reproduction and that you may have many families. However the state is the the combined will of the populace, and is supreme.
- A family is like a small community. Gender does not come into play. Anyway, monogamy is backward and not encouraged in the UPE.
- Artificial insemination (IVF).
- We don't sponsor terrorism. We fight against terrorism.
- Any divergence from Progressive Socialism is insanity.
- We are not perfect. However we are the best, this can be seen by our adherence to Progressive Socialism.
- I don't know what that means.

I hope that cleared up your questions comrade. Until next time.

Prime Minister Frankhörst Condemns Homophobic Zealots!

In a shocking yet predictable move, the Asian supremacist state known as Mikurajima had banned LGBTQ pride parades do to their reactionary and backwards beliefs.
Prime Minster Erwin Frankhörst was quick to condem these bigots as he spoke before his comrades in the People's Assembly.

His exact words:
"It is disgusting and outrageous that a nation like Mikurajima thinks they can just stop such a large portion of the population from expressing their free love for each other. Us here in Toolsbergia are better than that and don't subscribe to the feudal and traditionalist samurai garbage that the uncivilized masses in Mikurajima do!
As Prime Minister of the People's Assembly I hearby order sanctions against Mikurajima and order the closure of their embassy and detainment of all citizens currently visiting or residing in our great nation."

Many believe this will help serve as a catalyst for Frankhörst and his allies to announce and enforce Resolution 23, which will officially ban heteronormative marriages in Toolsbergia as an effort to proactively destroy this sort of behavior and thoughts in our proper civilized nation.

Remember to watch your daily news brought to you by the Toolsbergian government to keep informed of the truth and facts pertaining to world events!
All reactionary activity is being watched by Glorious Comrade.

A gay man on his way to destroy human civilisation

No-one is surprised today as, shortly after the Supreme Court of the United States made a landmark ruling that same-sex marriages must be recognised by every American state, the Nihonese have come out as homophobic bigots.

In the city of Mikurajima, Nihon, a small pro-LGBT group announced their intent to stage a gay pride parade, registering with the relevant authorities. Almost immediately, the move faced uproar from the government and people of Nihon, who are fiercly homophobic and have a slew of anti-gay laws in place, such as a ban on 'gay propaganda' and a blanket dismissal of all same-sex marriages.

The march was denied permission to march by the government, who cited security concerns in the face of threats from militant right-wing groups, who are apparently so scared of gays that they think violence is an appropriate response. The hate and threats do not just stem from private citizens, however; Hino Rei, an important local politician and chairman of the regional office of the National Restoration Party, described the parade as an ''abomination'' and advocated that the ''cultural Marxism'' it represented be ''sent back to hell''

It is always appalling to see a country which claims to be democratic and free mistake tyranny by majority for democracy. It seems that in Nihon, being a member of a minority means that you can be forced off the streets and into hiding simply because you make the majority feel uncomfortable, presumably due to a sub-par educational system and a poor understanding of the causes and effects of homosexuality.

As ever, we at the Brytscop condemn such hateful and atrocious behaviour. Nihon is by no means a democracy, rather a violent mobocracy happy to brutalise and oppress its own citizens. Thank the Gods we don't live in such a backwards shithole.

Official Communiqué

To: Mikurajima perfectural government
From: Elijah Dorzuul, Premier of The Lendol Archipelago

When I first received the news of your blatant attack against your own LGBT community, I was shocked. Since then, I have had time to think about why you made this unpopular decision that has angered so many. I have only grown more shocked. How can a nation believe itself to be in the right when it actively oppresses its minorities? How can a nation believe itself to be in the right when its own citizens' freedom and liberties are dictated by who they find attractive?

I would like to offer a warning, if you continue on this path, you and your government will fall into disfavour, both nationally and internationally.

I, personally, would like to offer my most sincere welcome to any Nihonese citizens wishing to emigrate, be it in response to these bans or not. Please, see to it that this message is spread.

Lastly, I implore you to rethink your decision, if you still believe yourself to be right I would like to hear about your resignation.
Elijah Dorzuul.

Countess Clara hits back at ‘utter nonsense’ of Nihonese Shogun

Countess Clara of Lyralea replies to Kojiro’s response on the gay pride affair

^{SHARE THIS:}

Michelle Raynor (@MichelleRaynor)
^{Sunday June 28 2015, 14:00 | Emerald Bay, Allied Connurist States}

At roughly 4am CST (Connurist Standard Time) this morning, Nihonese Shogun Maki Kojiro officially broadcasted and spoke publicly to all concerned about the recent Gay Pride ban in Mikurajima prefecture, where the LGBT community was denied the right to have their ‘march for equality’.

The leader of Nihon, who opened his whole broadcast with the admission that he will ‘never support homosexuality’ and said he believed that ‘LGBT people should not be killed, even if they made morally wrong choice to start liking the same gender.’ Kojiro also stated that this is the way that Nihonese society is, as if that justifies intolerance and oppression. Furthermore, he questioned the faith of Countess Clara, for she gave no biblical verse to support her claim, because quite clearly that’s only the valid evidence to support a claim about the religion of Christianity. (This is sarcasm, in case you cannot tell.)

The Countess has countered these claims in a press conference she gave earlier this morning. First addressing the statement of the Shogun in its entirety, she said that “The Nihonese mentality that Kojiro likes to claim is shared by every single person within his nation does not justify anything. It is not correct conduct for me to feel sorry for myself over my flaws and do nothing to change it ; it is not good practice to be content with mediocrity. Most people have a tendency to try and better themselves, and no murderer, rapist, thief or bigot can use the excuse that they simply are that way. The fact that the Shogun does not allow these people to be killed is hardly commendable.”

“This shogun has no empirical evidence to back up his claims that approximately 78% of homosexuals are affected by at least one STD. That is a ridiculous claim which is simply based upon fearmongering and deception. Two mothers and two fathers are capable of performing the exact same role of a mother and father, for there is absolutely nothing which prevents them from doing so. In this country and many others around the world, there are countless people who have been brought up in non-traditional families. The functionalist claim that the nuclear family has some sort of superiority over the rest is utter nonsense. Whether parents are married are not does not have any effect on their capabilities of bringing up children. It is also a shame to see the belief that marriage is simply a means of procreation and for the socialisation of children. Marriage is so much more than that. For hundreds of years, some societies have shown that there is no innate deficiency in terms of a sexual preference or things such as gender.”

“If the Shogun wishes to quote verses from the Bible, then so can I..” she announced, challenging his direct reply to her. “Leviticus 19:19 says do not wear clothing woven of two different kinds of material, and Deuteronomy 22:11 commands Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together. I could go on and on concerning similar verses, but this outdated and obsolete law no longer applies. Jesus made a new covenant of love and mercy.”

OOC: I would prefer if none of us attempted to break 4th wall. Generally, RL references in form of references are something I even like, but there is a reason why I mentioned data collected by RL institutes as gathered and published by Nihonese institutes.

SEAL OF NIHONESE EMPIRE

ATTN: The Lendol Archipelago.
CC: Allied Connurist States, United Progressive Empire, our friends in Riysa and Quirina.
SUBJECT: The environmental and socialist terrorism.
ENCRYPTION: Public (zero-sen).

Greetings with honour!

At first I wish to inform Clara - san about Nihonese law. Same - sex activity outside of public space is perfectly legal and not restricted. The issue never was about the sex in first place; it was about certain movement attempting to enforce it's views on Nihonese society, force it's acceptance and most importantly, destroy traditional family, promote moral and sexual degeneracy and hedonism. As government of Nihon, we do protect our people from harm; and what foreigner seem not to understand, is our stance on homosexuality is caused not by personal interest; but for scientifically proven and divinely confirmed fact that such activity is immoral.

For reference to Clara - san, I must state that that countess has no understanding of law. Nihon as state has every willing murder and / or rape punishable by death - usually carried by beheading with a sword. If murder or rape was serial and very disgusting, after confirmation from central administrative organs, the court can announce different form of punishment appropriate for committed crime. If the homosexual was found of paedophilia or rape, he shall not escape death; yet I find it truly disturbing that Clara - san fails to see difference between crimes and willing homosexual activity in private of her home she claims to be protecting, and what is better, someone may guess that her question is "why are yo not killing them"?

We do not kill them because there is severe difference between various crimes and how law treats them. In this case, LGBT activity in privacy of their own home, is harmful for involved individuals, but does not case social damage, unless, of course, a rape is involved. The issue my government has is, that homosexual propaganda telling people that this is normal is morally wrong in eyes of whole Nihonese nation.

The fight will continue, for the fight is holy; and this is our spiritual crusade against civilisation of death manifested in social and cultural Marxism, which LGBT and feminist movements are members of. They just come to destroy our culture, our economy, our honour. Let for them be known that values of liberalism and Nihonese culture are incompatible; assuming that original liberals were all conservative in nature, we shall not submit to onslaught of civilisation based on rejection of God and human nature. Modern liberalism was infiltrated and hijacked by the communists, thus we will oppose it. It is our divine duty to fight it, and God's willing we will do so.

Do not please tell us that LGBT are moral; for they are not. Freedom of choice is why they are free to do so in their own homes. Our nation is NOT a liberal democracy; for the true face of liberal democracy is to be observed just here, when politically correct politicians and governments attempt to disregard democratic vote of Nihonese people and force their own ideology upon it. There is nowhere written in any international treaty Nihon signed or in Nihonese law that homosexuality is a basic human right; and Nihonese Empire will obey only the laws we agreed to obey, and no super - national institution will dictate us how we shall rule in our sovereign country. Neither shall any gaijin from Lendol Archipelago tell a democratically elected politician that he should resign; Nihon is not Lendol, and this government should respect that fact.

The claims were collected by scientist from Centre for Cultural Research in Ishikawa; and we have every reason to believe them as much as you can disbelieve them.

And as devout Christians, we shall remind Clara - san that we quoted from new testament, and while law was abolished, it never meant morality coming from it; for God does not change. Therefore, Clara - san is a heretic apostate and should repent before it is too late and God will punish her for deceiving other Christians.

***BREAKING NEWS***
PRO-LGBT MARCHES ARISE IN EATHICA

Marchers waving the Rainbow Flag.

News >> International Conflict >> Sunday, June 28, 2015, at 3:13 P.M. Local Time >> Eathican Daily

RIPELLY, EATHICA - Pro-LGBT marches began yesterday after news of gay-pride parades in New Aeyariss and other nations. Over 2,500 people staged a march/parade in the capital city of Ripelly, right in front of the Supreme House of the Constitutional Monarchy of Eathica (SHCME.)

"WE WANT CHANGE!" shouted the marchers. When a news reporter asked one of the march participants what they were here for and what they hoped to achieve, she said: "We want change. It doesn't matter who you love, and we hope the State will legalize gay-marriage immediately."

Another news reporter asked a participant with the Anti-LGBT group, he said: "This is crazy! We are a religious Nation, and Eathica is the greatest country on earth. They can protest, but I hope that the Government does not legalize this."

Everything was peaceful until Anti-Gay participants clashed with Pro-LGBT participants. Riot Police had to disperse both supporters from the area.

This morning, when the Prime Minister was asked about last night's parade, he said: "They have every right to protest, our Constitution says so, but my Conservative Party and I will not legalize gay-marriage."

Another march is planned to happen next weekend.

Another Duel!?

Earl Richard challenges the Nihonese Shogun Maki Kojiro on public TV

^{SHARE THIS:}

Michelle Raynor (@MichelleRaynor)
^{Sunday June 28 2015, 21:00 | Emerald Bay, Allied Connurist States}

There were sensational scenes in the CTC live studio earlier this evening as Earl Richard Armstrong of Lyralea hit back at the comments of Nihonese Shogun Maki Kojiro and openly issued a challenge to the man who leads the country. Richard, the older brother of Countess Clara, is well known in the Empire for his popular TV show ’Banter Biweekly’, which airs on every other Saturday night. Speaking on the CTC Daily Evening Show, he said that ‘no-one talks to my sister like that and gets away with it, especially anyone as dishonourable as Kojiro.’

Clearly irate, Earl Richard, who fought in the war of 2009 and 2010, said that the Santiago Anti Communist Treaty Organisation ‘taints the name of right-wing politics’ and even went to the length of saying that ‘as a neo-fascist myself, I at least have the balls to admit it’ and ‘I don’t try and justify my political viewpoint via a two-thousand year old piece of fictional work.’

He then launched into the main body of his speech. ‘I would now like to address the Shogun himself. I shall try to solve this situation using the only language you seem to understand, that of violence. Politically, I don’t care about this, but what I do care about is you talking trash about a member of my family and the fact that you seem to focus more on rhetoric than dealing with the Marxist plague. Henceforth, I wish to challenge you to a firearms duel. Don't go sending one of your slaves or servants like you did to Queen Aoife, fight me like a man. Why don’t you put your faith to the test and see if your God will support you through this, or are you a spineless coward?'

The challenge prompted shock in the studio, and reportedly has caused his family to beg him to back down and withdraw his challenge. ‘Violence is never the answer.’ a clearly upset Countess Clara told us over the phone. ‘This shogun really isn’t worth my brother putting his life on the line.’

We managed to briefly speak to Earl Richard, who said ‘Whatever the result of a duel may be, either way it’d be top notch banter, and it’s not as if I have a wife or any children to whom I have a duty.’

Augillo Un Informacio Chenne!

Nihon Under Assault from Cultural Imperialism!

In response to a recent motion passed by a province of Nihon which chose to bar an LGBTQ pride parade, critics and national leaders from multiple different - but hardly diverse - countries.
The Nihonese have naturally responded back, defending their culture and the popular support their actions receive; and have justified their actions with religious and traditional sources. They have also claimed that LGBTQ individuals are not persecuted against, and that this ban was done in the name of public safety.

So far, most Inyustan national leaders have declined to comment on the status of these events, with President Jack Peresque stating:
"The internal affairs of Nihon are theirs and theirs alone to decide, and whether or not we agree with them we should never stoop to the level of cultural imperialism - especially against our allies."

Assembly Speaker Rafael Gusman responded:
"While I cannot condone these actions, it should be noted that those who wish to 'reform' and 'change' them are completely unjustified in their attempt to force their cultural norms on another nation."

While their leaders talk and condemn, many analysts have predicted these soured words will have almost no effect on Nihonese foreign policy. The only action so far has been taken by a member of the Connurist elite who has challenged the Shogun to a duel - a fact we will build on later; yet no other serious moves have been put in place.
With Ardoki and Brytene involved, as well as the Connurist States and Toolsbergia, one is unfortunately reminded of the days of colonialism wherein imperialist Europeans showed up to shove their cultural norms down the throats of Asian (and other) civilizations in the name of "progress" and "being civilized." It is easy to see why the majority of Nihonese are standing behind their government in these disputes.

Chief of Staff Antonio DeLoroza.
"Ironsides" Fires Back at Royal Elite!

Breaking News - In response to challenges by self-admitted fascist, "Earl Richmond" of the Connurist States, Chief of Staff Antonio "Ironsides" DeLoroza has declared the member of their royal family an "enemy of SACTO, enemy of Inyursta and an enemy of Freedom". He has expressed that further baseless threats and life-threatening challenges against allies of Inyursta will not be tolerated, and concluded his adress by formally placing a $250,000,000 bounty on the head of Earl Richard, to be paid in full to any person or persons who can execute and confirm the death of the earl.

Le Premier et Le Seul?
Flardania's First LGBT Parade Post Sexual Freedom Law
First SACTO Nation to Promote Legality?
Français|日本語|한국의|English
FBC News | Flardanian Broadcasting Corporation

News Intro(ends at 20 sec)

Welcome to the Newsroom Report on the FBC Network, I'm Sugiyama Shinya. The main story at the top of the hour, today is the day that the Sexual Freedom Bill becomes officially a law the same day as the annual Flardania gay pride parade. We will have our political legal analyst go over the meat and potatoes of this law and what does it mean for homosexuals as well as the amendments to the legalization of prostitution. Also a top story is the move Flardania has just made while being part of a right wing alliance such as the Santiago Anti Communist Treaty Organization, which will entail a live statement from the Federal Palace as Dirigeant Kasuga explains the thought that went into him signing this proposal into law and the never ending fight in some nations between faith and culture vs homosexual rights. Later in the program we will cover the Flardanian national team as they prepare for World Cup 72 qualifications .However right now we will now look into what exactly is in this new law. On the phone now is our political legal analyst Ikeda Tokaji.

On The Phone

S:"Welcome once again Ikeda-san, can you explain to our viewers here and abroad what is in this law?"
T:"Yes thank you Sugiyama-san, well what this law does is legitimize homosexual marriages and enable homosexuals to receive the same benefits as heterosexual marriages and polygamous unions, to an extent."
S:"Okay thank you, can you please explain what the gray areas of this extent is?"
T:"Yes, well for starters religious institutions such as the Lake Shore Order and the Roman Catholic Church have the right to not preform marriages for homosexuals due to the RC Church believing in marriage between man and women and while Lake Shore Order preaches tolerance has scripture that only prohibits male and male relationships due to Goddess being a jealous Goddess as seen in Judicial 2:4 of La Vérité. Their religious freedom remains intact, as does every other faith except temporarily the Flardanian Orthodox Church in retaliation to it's anti-Flardanian message. "Also homosexuals will not be granted the right to have polygamous relations but bisexuals now can form polygamous unions."
S:"Finally what is the amendments to the legalization of prostitution trial act that was finalized in this proposal."
T:"The Flardanian LGBT party lost a big one as the H.E.S.L party forced a concession from them. Homosexual prostitution in the form of masculine x masculine relationships are now illegal. This concession was done by the LGBT Party so that homosexuals could express themselves in public. Other parts of the Prostitution amendments added steeper penalties on those vendors and customers who participate with an STD, escorts who do not have a license from the ministry of health, brothels that do not have license and all escorts and brothels are subjected to random exams at any time in case of health or human rights violations."
S:"Seems while LGBT movement gained a victory the G part of the movement also lost a privilege in outlawing male x male relationships?
T:"Masculine X Masculine not male on male, if a male is deemed feminine then they get the much better bisexual treatment."
S:"Okay as much as I love having you on the program the Dirigeant is about to make his statement, thank you for taking the time"
T:"No Problem"

We now send you to the Federal Palace in Megalo Mesembria.

"Hello Ladies and Gentleman of the media, those watching at home and abroad." Arata began from behind the podium. "Today a proposal has gone into effect legalizing and legitimizing homosexual relationships. We have a system with democratic process different from many of our SACTO and IFC allies. We have a system where we do things for the majority but we protect and remember the minority. This is not a nation that will entertain 100% rights for homosexuals because while our faith allows it, it doesn't allow all forms of it. We however compromised and found something that everyone can be happy with. They need some sort of recognition and respect the same way human society has learn to accept one another regardless of age, gender, race, and religion. Sexual orientation should be properly handled as well. I do not believe every nation should legalize this. I believe the minority and majority should work together an compromise. If one of my SACTO brothers do not know how, I cangameplan with them to find a way to keep the majority happy while the minority can have at least something to smile about when they wake up. Remember culture at one point told us discriminating due to race, religion, and gender. It is the job of religious nations such as ours to lead the way in balancing values with the value of human respect. Thank You."

FBC will be back after the break.

His Majesty's Foreign Ministry
400 Riachuelo Boulevard, 1st C^vo, Santa Catalina

To: Mikurajima perfectural government
Subject: Suppression of gay pride

The government of Wagondia is very dismayed to hear of the recent events in Mikurajima prefecture, which can only be described as an unlawful silencing of peaceful activism. In our careful monitoring of all related Nihonese broadcasts, we have found that the only offensive argument the Shogun or Governor Taro can field is that LGBT rights is an offshoot of radical Marxism, and therefore an affront to the societal integrity of Nihon. We have not had any shortage of Marxist challenges in Wagondia, but we are careful to distinguish the militant Marxist movement as nothing past a radical political faction willing to hurt innocents to achieve their political goals. The LGBT movement is by definition a campaign to promote equality for those born with a predisposition to be sexually attracted in some degree to their own sex, or those born with characteristics of multiple sexes. The gay pride marches that have been shut down by the Taro government did not advocate violence, nor call for the violent overthrow of the Nihonese government. The shogun's extension of the right to life for LGBT people is not a kind gesture demonstrating the mercy of his rule, as he has defended, but rather the most basic of expected securities for an entirely innocent subgroup of loyal Nihonese citizens, barely considerate enough to lift Nihon just above the genocide threshold. The government of Wagondia thus continues to maintain that holding an entire demographic of Nihonese citizens who pay taxes, obey laws, and serve their beloved country hostage to the personal comforts of government officials is an indefensible and senseless act meant to extract political support from further oppressing the already heavily marginalized LGBT movement. That these activists, no different in their quest for rights than any other demographic minority, should be held to the standard of Marxist saboteurs, those who seek to destroy the country of their birth, is shameful, and we call upon the Nihonese government to fall back upon the patriotism it has always relied upon to see that the LGBT community is no less willing to contribute to a prosperous future than anybody else.

Sincerely, Sir Cipriano Milanesi
Foreign Minister of the Wagain Commonwealth
