Homosexuality has existed in Atlantis long before even its current status as a Soviet Republic, and is therefore threated as a normal part of culture and tradition.

Discrimination against homosexuals is illegal. Most Valverdans are pro-LGBT rights. However, same-sex marriage has not been legalized yet, although it is possible that it could be in the near future.

They are treated as citizens, but homosexual acts are often punishable. For example, if two people are in an office space, one is gay and the other is straight, and the gay man stands a little too close to teh straight man for the straight man's taste, whether or not it really is suggestive, it can be punished by a large fine and some jail time. PDA amongst gays are not legal, but otherwise, are treated as normal citizens, and are subject to draft. Homosexuality on public media is illegal however.

The Kingdom of Caraelle holds the belief that the State has no place in deciding one's sexual preference or dictating who one can marry or not marry. Homosexuality is neither outlawed nor encourraged, but seen as just another sexuality with the same amount of rights and freedoms as heterosexuality and asexuality.

Many ministers, celebrities, Military figures and Historical figures have been and continue to be homosexual. Though we hold the Rights and Freedoms of other Nations as a given it is difficult for us to think of a scenario in which homosexuality - or indeed heterosexuality - being viewed as an abnormality or a 'terrible thing' is quite odd. Though we have been exposed to the idea on a few occasions thanks to endorcing the Right of Free Speech.

Caraelle only holds protest to those who's sexual desires extend to those parties that can not give consent.

Long may our Freedom to debate and gain knowledge continue, Friends.

It is considered a sin against the Islamic faith, and while it can technically get you stoned the current emir is very lenient about religious rules(one of his daughters is an undercover lesbian, which might play a part) and typically you just wind up being shunned by all of society.

The government is not in the business of trying to regulate love and marriage between consenting adults. Additionally, gay marriage is viewed favorably by roughly 70% of the populace. The gods and goddesses never spoke out against it, and so only a small minority of 'family' and religious groups that are themselves minorities ever oppose it, but those groups are generally scorned.

Yes I am an Iowan. I do agree that some of these subjects are horrendous. I am a strong believer in Thomas Jefferson and separation of church and state. The U.S. government does not respect this belief at all even though it is the constitution that we should not have a bias according to ones religion. The personal lives of citizens should not be controlled tyrannically by the government.

Cydonians have never thought homosexuality was abnormal, it has always been an accepted part of life. The populace embraces a "to each their own" mentality. Everyone's different, after all.

Same-sex marriage has always been legal and equal to heterosexual marriage. Group marriages are also legal, though very, very rare. Cydonia is, most likely, the best place for gays and lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders to live.

The democratically elected leader of Cydonia is, in fact, a lesbian: Governor Paula Rogers and First Lady Camille Hanlon-Rogers.
