Your Nation's View on Gay Marriage and Homosexuals

Postby Laurasia » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:19 pm

Basically as the title says. What is your nation's moral or legal view on gay marriage and homosexuality in general? Does your nation allow gay marriage? Prohibit it? Does it criminalize homosexual acts or not? Are people in your nation homophobic?

In the Laurasian Empire, homosexuality is considered to be a grievous sin towards God and a horrible, beastly, aspect by much of the population and by the Orthodox Church. Gay marriage is illegal; numerous statutes exist that criminalize homosexuality, allow for legal persecution of gays and lesbians, and direct other measures towards them. The recently deceased sovereign, Dimitry I, was very conservative and homophobic; he issued a decree in 2000 which declared that gays must go to rehab and gain treatment for their "condition". Gays are not allowed to serve in the military and those who are discovered are imprisoned or banished to Siberia.

Homosexuality is illegal in Saurisia, punishable by a visit from your friendly neighborhood SP who then take you to their nearest HQ where you are then tortured before being mind-altered so that you are straight (or at least asexual). On a whole, the populace abhors homosexuality and considers it an abomination of nature.

The government has no place in dictating marriage and sexual preference. There are no laws against it in New Heathera, but the rising fascist movement wants to change that.

It is proof they are possessed by Djinn or are influenced by Djinn and must be electrocuted.

Visas, travel documents, and passports are denied to people who are attempting to travel into the country that are proven via background check to be homosexual.

The Amenistani secret police routinely inspect for "queer" behavior.

His majasty the Dragon Emperor finds homosexuality an annoyance as such most if not all homosexuals are sent to Klendathu. Albiet the planet still has the occasional Arachnid horde. This is in part to their anti military status and no respect for the military. This policy toward gays stemmed from the Great Klendathu massacre and the protests for rights and an end to the war.

It's allowed, however it's rare to find any homosexual person in our nation.
About 2% of the population reported being homosexual, with 8% heterosexual and 90% asexual.
If they could find each other, and wanted to get married, then they are allowed.

It is legal, we allow gays to adopt, and enlist in the military and marry. They have the same rights as a heterosexual person.

Acerbic's culture generally views Marriage as outdated, although open marriages are viewed as less backwards.
As such, gay marriage is seen as equally as boring as straight marriages are. But, it is legal like all marriages. Just generally ignored.

Homosexuals are viewed as equal to heterosexuals, although bisexuality is the common sexuality due to the same culture that dislikes marriage.
Asexuality is seen as boring but also fine.
We dislike wasting time trying to make the populace conform to us, then they might notice just how easy it would be for us to establish a Totalitarian system if we wished to do so.

In Jormengand, gay marriage would be perfectly legal, if there were any legal definition of marriage. Denail of services or jobs to homosexuals is technically punishable by death.

Due to the fact that Irkens do not sexually reproduce, they view any form of love or attraction to be insignificant and drastically inferior to the aggressive Irken militarial mindset.

Homosexuality and gay marriage are completely legal in Jolleus, but are viewed distastefully by most of the population. Police are likely to turn a blind eye to hate crimes against homosexuals.

:shock: 9/10 of your population is asexual? How do you guys reproduce, with artificial insemination or something?

In Makkan Arabia, Homosexuality is frowned upon heavily but it is a right to privacy that protects them. Homosexuality is legal ONLY within an individuals home; any form of public display of affection is strictly prohibited and will result in 5 years in prison. Homosexuals are not allowed to serve the compulsory five year military service but are made to perform another form of civic duty (ex. community service). They are required to pay the Gay Tax of 3% of their yearly income. Gay marriage is also strictly illegal, and Makkan Arabia has no form of Civil Union.

People who are sexually rigid - those who are only attracted to one sex, regardless of which - are seen as strange by the general public, as the idea of being attracted to one or the other - exclusively - is alien. But that does not extend to discrimination of any kind, just strange curiosity and wonderment.

People may enter into legal union with as many people, regardless of sex and gender, as they wish, so long as they've all given consent. Multiple person unions are common in Tsvarchi. Marriage is not a legally recognized institution in Tsvarchi - for anyone.

That said, homosexuals have exactly the same rights as everyone else - heterosexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals, etc. A person's sexual orientation has no bearing on anything here.

In the United Clans, the High Court of the United Clans has ruled that homosexuality and homosexuals are protected under CSC Bill 003, the Bill for the Establishment of the Rights of the People, which states that "no person may be discriminated against for an unalterable, inoffensive belief or action." As such, homosexual marriage is also legal, and encouraged to all homosexual couples who would seek deeper relations.

Homosexuality is Costa Fiero wasn't even legal until the late 70's and it took another twenty years for marriage between same sex couples to even be accepted by the government let alone the churches (who issue marriage certificates under Marriage Laws of 1903). Today however, society has become more liberal with more socially aware youth. However, adoption for same sex couples still remain out of reach. Even so, homosexuals still have the same rights as others, although some people still retain more conservative views of them.
