- Allowed to serve openly in the military
According to the constitution, the Renetopian military doesn't exist as a standard army. It's a collective of special forces (kinda like the FBI, CIA, SWAT, rangers, counter-terrorist units) that merge as one army in case of war. LGBT people are allowed to openly serve in all of them.

- Anti Discrimination Laws
The constitution says that all citizens are to be treated as equal. Discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, monetary status, intelligence, personal opinions and sexuality is illegal.

- Laws concerning gender identity/expression
Transgender and gender-queer people aren't common. Anyone over 18 years old can get a relatively cheap gender change operation. Teens that are biologically one gender but identify themselves as another are encouraged to change if they feel like it's what's best for them. They are referred to as the gender which they choose, although legally they're classified as the gender they were born with.

Quite simply yes to all of the above.

Laws concerning gender identity/expression

This is built into the Personal Freedoms Act, which includes the right to freedom of expression. It also offers individuals the right not to exercise such freedoms - i.e. no-one can be forced to divulge their sexual orientation against their will. Employers are prohibited from even asking their staff and/or interviewees about their orientation and the only public authority allowed to do so is the Population Census Loft (though even in that case the question must be optional).

Pigeontree has always prided itself in its welcoming and non-discriminatory attitudes and as such this is one of those rare issues about which all political parties are in complete agreement; with the exception of occasional murmurings from the Socialist Party, who have a tendency to disagree with just about everything.

Same sex sexual activity
Recognition of same sex relationships

Same sex marriage
Yes, please note civil partnerships exist but have nothing to do with sexual orientation. Please see relevant factbook.

Same sex adoption
Yes, but in practice it's easier for lesbian couples to adopt as opposed to gay couples. This is in spite of anti-discrimination laws.

Allowed to serve openly in the military
Yes, with one exception - sexual assault cases, normally a soldier accused of sexual assault is reassigned to one of the few remaining gender segregated units (they exist for traditional reasons the military is otherwise fully integrated) after a year's suspension with reduced pay, this is a problem with bi or homosexual soldiers who are reassigned to desk jobs pending the same review board other soldiers face when their year's suspension is up.

Yes but by definition the laws may in no way favor any group over another.
