Is it legal to be homosexual?
There is no legislation against it.

Can homosexual people be in civil unions or marriage, if not what?
They are not allowed to be married, but they can live together in civil unions. Under traditional Themiclesian law, marriages are unions of two clans through two persons; these two persons are not free to choose whom they marry (you must marry the person your parents order you to marry). Civil unions are more similar to the modern institution of marriage, where love is free. Marriage is governed strictly, the families of the two spouses being required to reconcile with each other previous differences and agree to co-operate in the future, whereas civil unions are more or less created and terminated at will of the united. On the other hand, we don't have a concept of sexual fidelity between marriages, which is more of a political and economic union, so married spouses regularly engage in intimate activity with others. A person can legally be married to one and be in a civil union with another.

Can same-sex couples adopt?
Children are adopted by clans, not by couples.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation?
Sexuality is strictly personal and therefore confidential, and no sensible state would try to extract this information from citizens.

Has their ever been a homosexual person as a leader in your nation?
There probably is, but since our leaders are hereditary, they don't bother making this public, since their opinion does not matter.

There is no legislation concerning sex, love or anything excluding the laws on Unlawful Procreative Activity (rape), so I guess you could say so.

Can homosexual people be in civil unions or marriage, if not what?

People just marry if they feel like it. We don't give a shit.

Can same-sex couples adopt?

Everyone is grown in vats here and no one has the intention to adopt. But legally, they can.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation?

21%, mainly in the transhuman population.

Has their ever been a homosexual person as a leader in your nation?

The government does not get involved with the legality over sexual orientation.

Homosexual couples may be married just as any other couple of two consenting adults can in Parhe.

Can same-sex couples adopt?
Provided they meet the requirements set forward for any individual wishing to adopt.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation?
Date isn't collected by the government of the Holy Parhic Empire but data from NGO's range from 0 to 2%. Homosexuality is, at least believe to be, very uncommon as almost everyone is pansexual with a small minority, albeit larger than the Homosexual or Heterosexual minority, being asexual.

Not that we are aware of.

Is it legal to be homosexual?

Homosexuality was formally legalized in 1951 in Färinge, though there had never been any legislation prohibiting homosexual behavior.

Can homosexual people be in civil unions or marriage, if not what?

Yes, marriage is open to all couples regardless of sexuality. Only marriage between siblings and underage children is prohibited. The state-sponsored Lutheran Church, the Church of Färinge, has performed same sex marriage since 1998.

Can same-sex couples adopt?

Adoption rights are extended to same sex couples.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation?

The census does not record sexual orientation, but estimates range from 4% to 9%.

Has their ever been a homosexual person as a leader in your nation?

Multiple members of the Folketing have been homosexual or bisexual. Staatsminister Åsne Sund of the Social Democratic Party was openly homosexual.

Is it legal to be homosexual?
Yes, of course! There's no law approving or banning it.

Can homosexual people be in civil unions or marriage, if not what?
The government issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples, making them treated the same way as heterosexual couples under the law. Individual churches or private organizations may refuse to conduct wedding ceremonies for whatever reason they wish, including sexual orientation of the couple, but that's their right as private entities. In the eyes of the government, all that is needed is a marriage license, and those are issued to anyone.

Can same-sex couples adopt?
Yes. They undergo the same sorts of screening that any other couple wishing to adopt must go through.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation?
Something like 7%, most likely. That's about 1.4 million people. Our government doesn't maintain any sort of data on this.

Has their ever been a homosexual person as a leader in your nation?
Yes, several of our leaders have been either homosexual or bisexual, both openly or in private. In fact, our current Prime Minister, Dr. Elisabet Abel, is openly homosexual.

1=Yes, ever since 1872.
2=Same-sex marriage was legal since 1935, but civil unions go way back to 1872.
3=Yes, ever since Mattantia was founded in 1872.
4=0.6-1.1%, approximately. Could be way higher due to closeted gays. Should be way higher due to its legal status.
5=Not yet. There was one chancellor back in the 1920's that was bi, but not fully gay.

Under the Homosexual Rights Act, homosexuals have the same right as heterosexuals. This includes marriage, adoption, and etc. Furthermore, the Homosexual Rights Act makes discrimination against homosexuals illegal. About 2.5% of the population identify as homosexual and Lugstran's current leader, Simon Nazarov, is bisexual. There has never been a fully homosexual leader in Lugstranian history.

Under state law, homosexuality is illegal and will result in ample time and deportation. According to state law, if you openly practice a lifestyle of that sort in public you will be deported. Family members and friends however, are not under compulsion to turn them in.

culture, respect, and society have developed quite differently in y-g and homosexuals have thus never been ostracized or treated differently from other human beings. they have all basic human rights, and 'marriage/adoption' rights the same as 'heterosexual' couples in other places. approximately 1 in 7 gavs are male-male or female-female couples. this information is from a voluntary survey in which most choose to participate.

**we have had 2 gay leaders. solen di santirena and mette eikers. both faaabulous :clap: :)

Is it legal?
Of course. Laws are something everyone has the ability to follow.

Is Marriage Allowed?
No. Unlikely to happen.

Can same-sex couples adopt?
Yes, but orphanages have the right to deny adoptive rights to homosexuals, singles, or non-married couples under the "Children's Rights Act".

How many homosexuals?
3-4% of the population according to a state survey. About 20% of homosexuals per generation converts to heterosexuality through Church support programs. Unlike the scarring American homosexual aversion therapy, these are non-violent help groups, free of charge and sponsored by the Church, meant for people with unwanted attractions to help each other, similar to drug rehab or phobia counseling.

Has there ever been a homosexual leader?
Not in recorded history, however extremely little is known about the "Old Tekkit Empire" after its collapse and it is speculated by some historians that some were indeed openly homosexual.

Other Info: Violence or threatening a homosexual person because of their orientation is illegal. Companies that wish to ban homosexuals from a job must apply for a "morality license" that has a legitimate reason, which are hard to get. (example: boy scout leader, all-male college teacher, church reverend). Free market policy technically dictates the ability to refuse service to anyone.

Is it legal to be homosexual? Since it's just sexuality, there is no law against homosexuality. Although, since homosexuality is not a Zhouranese thing, it is considered "foreign."

Can homosexual people be in civil unions or marriage, if not what? Same-sex marriage does not exist in Zhouranese culture. As a result, it is considered to be part of the cancerous Cultural Marxism.

Can same-sex couples adopt? Since Zhouranese culture recognizes parents as a mother and father, it is illegal for same-sex couples to adopt a child.

Whats a rough estimate of people who identify as homosexual in your nation? Possibly about a thousand or less, but since people look down on those who show-off their sexuality (even if heterosexual), the true estimate is unknown.

Has their ever been a homosexual person as a leader in your nation? Nope and never will be.
