Homosexuality in your country

Postby Cirona » Tue Oct 06, 2009 6:46 am

So, what are the homosexuality laws in your country? Is homosexuality banned altogether, or public affection is a breach of law? Maybe registered relationships are legal, and sometimes gay marriage is the norm?

Cironi Equality Act, Article 2 Homosexuality, Section 1 Equality
Under Cironi equality laws, homosexuality should not be discriminated towards and shall be treated like average citizens. All laws applied to heterosexual couples are applied to homosexual couples. Homosexuals do however have protection from hate.
Cironi Equality Act, Article 2 Homosexuality, Section 2 Discriminative Laws
Homosexuals have the protection from discrimination of their orientation. Hate messages and threats about their orientation will yield in a punishment as high as 2 months of imprisonment.

Cironi Equality Act, Article 6 Marriage and Unions, Section 2 Homosexual Marriage
A marriage was traditionally a union between a male and a female, but under equality laws and liberalism, marriages between the same gender (homosexual marriage) in Cirona is legally recognised and can be legally performed within the borders of Cirona. The recognition of this union may alter when they depart the borders, as each sovereign state has its own ideology on homosexual marriage.

Cironi Public Order Act, Article 11 Public Affection, Section 2 Homosexual Public Affection
For equality, homosexuals are allowed to perform public affection, as the same as heterosexual couples. Extreme affection must be in private, same as heterosexual couples. Sex and suggestive actions are defined as extreme.

The Holy Monastic Republic of the Archregimancy has a population consisting solely of celibate Orthodox Christian monks. As no resident of the republic is sexually active, the question of sexual orientation is largely irrelevant.

Orthodox Christianity does technically consider the practice of homosexuality to be a sin, but - again because all citizens are celibate - the Monastic Republic does not discriminate against citizens on the basis of their sexual orientation. All sexual activity is banned, rather than homosexuality specifically, and any citizen caught engaging in regular sexual activity would likely be expelled (isolated single incidents would most likely be dealt with via confession).

66% of our nation is either gay or bisexual. 12% are into bestiality and 8% like paedophilia. 10% are into various other things. Only 4% of our population has so called "normal" sexual desires, making them a distinct minority. Your average straight, adult loving male or female is often discriminated against, although in theory they are equal under the law. My people just don't like this abomination.

There are no laws restricting the freedom of homosexuals to marry, adopt children, engage in public displays of affection, etc. They have exactly the same rights as a heterosexual couple, without any change of law. It just always has been this way.

The only difference is that sometimes crimes against homosexuals are classified as a hate crime, in the special class such as racism or prejudice. In that case the perpetrator receives a harsher punishment than usual.

Culture note: Some 33% of Maraqueans are currently in a homosexual relationship, however this does not mean they are gay. Maraqueans don't believe love has any boundaries and so they don't restrict their love to just one sex. Essentially, all Maraqueans are bisexual in some way.

French society generally frowns on homosexuality, but it does still exist here. What is really frowned on, more than homosexuality itself, is public displays, and that applies as much in heterosexual relationships as homosexual ones. Is there some discrimination? Sure, but the government does not interfere unless society is damaged in some form or some law is broken in the process.

The current Grand French Constitution does not allow for homosexual marriages, nor does it permit civil unions with all the same rights, privileges and so forth as a marriage, and it is sometimes a hard task for a homosexual couple to obtain a civil union, as it must be performed by a judge, and finding a willing judge can be somewhat difficult.

New Olwe's government has chosen to not officially recognize marriages at all, so gay marriage is technically allowed but just like a heterosexual marriage would net no tax or other benefits.

Discrimination, including discrimination against gays, is punishable by exile... if you won't be tolerant of our citizens, we won't tolerate you.

Most citizens are bisexual, due in large part to the fact that our traditional method of greeting here in New Olwe is a passionate French kiss and this is not changed based on gender.

So basically, New Olwe is a good place for a gay person to live unless they want tax breaks for getting married.

In Kylarnatia everyone has the right to be gay or straight. There has been a huge rise in Lesbians after a row by many straight husbands who refuse to stay with there wives. Therefore the ex-wifes have found new love with the similar sex.

Are population on the gay/straight ratio is about as 50/50 as it can get, but due to the said increase, it could soon change.

We find it amusing that anybody thinks they can "ban" homosexuality. At worst, they can persecute people for homosexual behaviour and/or perceived "homosexual traits". Homosexuality is a human characteristic that is not much effected by attempts to suppress it.

In Fatatatutti, a person's sexuality is nobody's business but his/her own and his/her partners'.

Likewise. No direct effort is made by the French nation to suppress homosexuality. The fact they can not be married is a product of the Constitution of the Republic. Persecution is harshly punished when it becomes serious enough to harm the Republic. Perpetrators of hate crimes are pursued by the police, just like any criminals.

Homosexuality in your country

Postby Meinverden » Tue Oct 06, 2009 10:28 am

In Meinverden, there is no distinction or definition for "heterosexual," "bisexual," or "homosexual." These words rarely find their way into discussion, and individual sexuality is considered a very private subject. Marriage laws in Meinverden do not make any distinction between men and women, allowing members of either gender to marry those of the opposite or same persuasion. Furthermore, people here rarely ascribe to be definite "tops" or "bottoms," "semes" or "ukes," "doms" or "subs" outside of what their pleasure of the moment dictates. Most find it silly to define any person's preferences and sexuality in such black and white terminology.

In the end, it all boils down to individual desire in Meinverden, and individuals are free to act on their desire within the laws of public decency. As such, it can be said homosexuals do exist and are free to be homosexual without fear of any legal nor societal ramifications in The Principality.

"Cristus: How do you respond to complaints about your alledgely homophobic comments at the MIlkavich concert?

Ceorlsunu: Ergh, I hate it when people take everything I say to be condoning some holocaust somewhere. Is an insult not an insult anymore? Back in '69, I knocked a guy out for throwing a bottle at me in Niwe Eoforwic, and he said nothing about the matter. Yet when I open my mind, spare him a knocking around, in my own language I should add, everyone calls me a 'Homophobe' or some shit. In Weccanfeld, there aren't any Gays to discriminate against. Okay, that's slightly false, you get the odd weirdo back before the whole thing became 'Acceptable' in some godforsaken country that isn't Weccanfeld. Honestly I find the whole thing immature, a desparate attempt at indivdualism!

Cristus: Those are some quite controversial views there.

Ceorlsunu: My job is to please my fans by playing music, not by playing the populism game. So what if some guys boycott me, I don't care, I share my views with most of the people among the Fugol and beyond. I am a musician, not a politician. You listen to a musician's music, not his views on stuff. Next Question."

In Arkinesia, homosexuality is legal, but it doesn't seem to be very common, at all. A recent survey of approximately 215,000 Arkinesians from various parts of the country found that less than 1% of respondents claimed to be homosexual, and that 3% of them claimed to be bisexual.

It's only worth noting that all of those claiming to be homosexual or bisexual were female.

Due to our hatred of petty bourgeois morality homosexuality is embraced as a legal and respectable way of life. But most of our citizens are omnisexual rather than gay or straight. We follow the kinsey scale and over two thirds of those surveyed rate as a 3. Deputy chancellor Victoria Martin is a bi transsexual. Emily Martin is a lesbian. Oliver Martin is gay. Chancellor Roger Martin has 2 wives 3 mistresses and a boyfriend not counting his 12 year love affair with Victoria. The ruling Martin family is rather typical like that especially Roger.
