OOC: Based on the spartacus Gay Travel Index. Inspired in part by Numorland's Tourism Friendliness Index. If there seem to be any errors with my rating, please tell me via telegram and maybe the error can be ironed out.
EDIT: It's closed temporarily. Too many issues linger about in the questionnaire. Perhaps I'll post a new thread and everyone can resubmit it there and what-not.

Welcome to the Kitacho Institute's official Pro-LGBT Tourism Index website!
Within this website is a summary of locations within the universe that you should, or should not, go to when in need of a vacation if you happen to be one out of two Pusatians who are bisexual or one out of five who are homosexual or whatever number of beings in the universe are within the LGBT community, if at all.
So, without further ado, this is the official categorisation of nations that is used:
Hostile; Points < -10 points - Do NOT go to these places if you even so much as blink at a gay or bisexual person, you will be tracked to no end from such an environment. It may very well be a tourist hotspot, but unless you plan to go in with a new identity, our experts at the Kitacho Institute recommend ticking this off of your bucket list of places to visit. Unfriendly; -10 points to -6 points - Not the best place to go if you're a gay or bisexual person: Perhaps you'll be looked down on by the locals. Maybe get snubbed by a waitress. But if you're not open about your sexuality to strangers and just like the attractions, give these places a go. Neutral; -5 points to 3 points - These places may not give a shit. Not at all. They don't care and we don't care that they don't care; our experts sure as hell say it's a heck of a lot better than any of the above categories. Friendly; 4 points to 7 points - Take note travellers: These are the places of warmth for the homosexual at heart. Possibly out of the lack of discrimination by the government or from the sheer level of equality given to everyone under the law, or perhaps even from the tourist-friendliness of the location, these are the countries that you will be welcomed in with open arms. Fabulous; 7 points < Points - Congratulations: If you're a tourist that is even so much as stranded in one of these nations and is LGBT, then these are the countries that are willing to go through thick and thin to get you back on your feet, no matter whether the country in question is a mostly inhospitable wasteland.
All questions regarding the LTI may be posed from within the form given below, all of which will be answered along with the designated ranking for each country.

HER COURT OF BRELLACH
Brightest blessings;
In the course of my duties I received a questionnaire from your organisation, with instructions to complete and return it. In the interests of fostering greater friendship between the Holy Queendom and Those of Other Places, I did so. I regret that I may not have grasped the meanings of some of the questions therein, and am willing to clarify if you must do so, but hopefully I have provided you with the information you seek.
You will find such enclosed with this letter.
Most humbly,
Rena Vaska Devout Advisor of Her Court With Responsibility for Speaking with Those of Other Places, Holy Queendom of Brellach
Official Information Name of person/organisation taking questionnaire: Rena Vaska, Devout Advisor of Her Court, With Responsibility for Speaking with Those of Other Places / Her Court of Brellach Name of nation: The Holy Queendom of Brellach Form of government: Absolute Monarchy Population: 22 million (~) Tech level of nation: Modern How prevalent is tourism in your nation? Uncommon
Anti-discrimination legislation 1a) Are there any anti-discrimination laws that apply for all minorities? The Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Avatar of the Divine Glory, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true, makes no mention of minorities of any kind in Her Laws, for all are equally worthy of the Love of Her Divine Glory. b) Are there any anti-discrimination laws applying specifically for LGBT minorities? The Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Avatar of the Divine Glory, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true, makes no mention of minorities of any kind in Her Laws, for all are equally worthy of the Love of Her Divine Glory. c) How extensive do such anti-discrimination laws go? N/A d) Do such laws apply to tourists? None of Her Laws apply specifically to tourists.
Marriage/Partnership 1. Status of civil unions in your country: N/A 2. Status of gay marriage in your country: The Priesthood of Her Divine Glory allows for all unities; whether that be He Who Would Be Hers, He Who Would Be His, or She Who Would Be Hers. Love transcends anatomy; so says Her Divine Glory!
Adoption Status 1a) Are homosexual couples able to adopt children? We seek to provide The Parentless with loving families, should they have none. The sexual orientation of those families is not even asked, for it is not relevant to that objective. b) Are there any conditions for homosexual couples to adopt? If we do not ask for their sexual orientation, we can hardly base any conditions on that orientation - we do not know what it is! c) Do such laws apply to tourists? We prefer not to send The Parentless away to foreign lands, for even without parents they are still Her Favoured Children of Her Favoured Lands. But each case would be judged on its merits. We have never heard of tourists trying to adopt Brellachi children before, so we do not know how such would work.
LGBT-Marketing Does your country's travel companies market towards LGBT tourirsts? Why would they do such a thing? Are people of one proclivity preferable to another?
Equal Age of Consent 1. Age of consent for sex for heterosexual couples: 15 2. Age of consent for sex for homosexual couples: 15 3. Is the age of consent different for tourists? No. Why would it be so?
Religious influence 1a) Is there a state religion in your country? Yes; the Church of Her Divine Glory. b)(i) Does the state religion condemn acts of homosexuality? No. (ii) If so, does a majority of the population follow this religion? To our knowledge, yes. 2. If so, does the state religion influence the government's decision on legislation regarding LGBT minorities? Her Divine Glory teaches us that love is transcendental, and cannot be legislated.
HIV-travel restrictions 1. Are citizens infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel beyond the country's borders? Yes. 2. Are foreigners infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel into the country's borders? Yes. 3. Are offenders who travel in or out of the country punishiable by anything more than deportation under the law?How can one afflicted with an ailment be called an 'offender'? They are to be supported, not punished.
Anti-gay laws 1a) Are there laws that discriminate against minorities as a whole? No (refer to my earlier answers, if you please). b) Are there laws that discriminate LGBT minorities specifically? No (refer to my earlier answers, if you please). c) How extensive do such discriminatory laws go? N/A d) Do such laws apply to tourists? N/A
Homosexuality illegal 1a) Is committing sexual activities with a person of the same sex criminalised under the law? No. b) Are offenders of the law punished by a jail term beyond 10 years, execution, torture, et cetera? They are not 'offenders'. c) Do such laws apply to tourists? There are no such laws.
Pride banned 1a) Are LGBT pride parades illegal in your country? If they wished to have a parade, they could do so, though I have not heard of such a thing before. b) If not, are such pride parades common in your country? I have not heard of them before filling out this form. That does not mean they do not exist, I suppose.
Locals hostile 1. What is the percentage of the population that believes homosexuality should not be accepted by society? Why would people believe such a thing? 2. Are LGBT related activities welcomed or shunned by society in general? They are welcomed as is any other form of love.
Persecution 1a) Have there been reported acts of persecution committed against LGBT minorities by the locals? Not that I have heard of. b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? What a horrific question! If such a thing were to transpire in Her Favoured Land, I should hope that news dispensers would treat it as the crime that it would be.
Murders 1a) Have there been reported murders of those who are part of LGBT minorities committed by the locals? Murder is not common in the Holy Queendom, though it does lamentably happen from time to time. While I am sure some of the victims of the past have been of that group, I have not read anything which would suggest that the sexual orientation of the victims was the motivation behind those crimes. b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? No!
Death sentences 1a) Have there been reported executions targeted specifically at a person for committing activities related to the LGBT community/homosexual acts? Capital punishment is, and has always been, forbidden by the Divine Queens of Brellach, including The Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Avatar of the Divine Glory, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true, and by Her Divine Glory as well for that matter. b) Are such executions glorified by the local media? N/A
Miscellaneous* Country's Estimated Number of Gay Gathering Places per 100,000 homosexual tourists: What is a 'gay gathering place'? We do not segregate our people. They go where they will, and speak with whom they see fit. Such is the way of things. Are there any questions regarding this questionnaire? If so, please tell us what questions you may have: I do not understand many of the questions, nor why they are necessary. Perhaps this speaks more of the nature of Other Places than it does my grasp of your language or Brellach itself? I am available at this address for clarification, if there are misunderstandings on my part.

by Philephebia
Official Information Name of person/organisation taking questionnaire: The Federal Government of the Queendom of Philephebia Name of nation: Philephebia Form of government: Constitutional monarchy Population: 16.089 Billion Tech level of nation: Modern Times, but some parts are Third World. How prevalent is tourism in your nation? Quite prevalent around the capital and along the coasts, quite rare in the land-locked north.
Anti-discrimination legislation 1a) Are there any anti-discrimination laws that apply for all minorities? Language minorities tend to be allowed a form of self-government customised for the specific minorities. None-natice minorities have special protection under the law, against discrimination. b) Are there any anti-discrimination laws applying specifically for LGBT minorities? Sexual minorities are considered holy, and are subject to positive dicrimination. c) How extensive do such anti-discrimination laws go? That means that homophobia equals sacrilege, and openly homophobic individuals might encounter angry, vigilante mobs. d) Do such laws apply to tourists? We try to prevent the lynching of homophobic tourists, but we advise them to only visit the west of the country, where tolerance for homophobia is bigger.
Marriage/Partnership 1. Status of civil unions in your country: That’s for straight couples 2. Status of gay marriage in your country: The only kind of marriage we have. Allowing straight people to have the same rights as gay people would tarnish the sanctity of marriage.
Adoption Status 1a) Are homosexual couples able to adopt children? Of course b) Are there any conditions for homosexual couples to adopt? They are preferred over straight couples. c) Do such laws apply to tourists? Tourists are not allowed to adopt. Adoption is restricted to legal residents.
LGBT-Marketing Does your country's travel companies market towards LGBT tourirsts? Not specifically.
Equal Age of Consent 1. Age of consent for sex for heterosexual couples: 18 2. Age of consent for sex for homosexual couples: 16 3. Is the age of consent different for tourists? No. These laws apply to all.
Religious influence 1a) Is there a state religion in your country? Agnosticism b)(i) Does the state religion condemn acts of homosexuality? No. As stated before, homosexuality is considered sacred, and gay and lesbian individuals are venerated in almost all of the country. The Royal house excludes straight princes and princesses from the line of succession. (ii) If so, does a majority of the population follow this religion? Individuals are allowed to have other religions besides the state religion. Large parts of the population are Hindu, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. They mostly support the constitutional exclusion of straight royals from the throne. 2. If so, does the state religion influence the government's decision on legislation regarding LGBT minorities? Any government trying to legislate against the treasured and sacred minorities would commit political suicide.
HIV-travel restrictions 1. Are citizens infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel beyond the country's borders? Yes 2. Are foreigners infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel into the country's borders? Yes; disclosure of HIV positive status is obligatory on arrival, in case of hospitalisation. 3. Are offenders who travel in or out of the country punishiable by anything more than deportation under the law? Not applicable
Anti-gay laws 1a) Are there laws that discriminate against minorities as a whole? No. b) Are there laws that discriminate LGBT minorities specifically? Yes. Popular demand has made homophobia punishable under the anti-blasphemy laws. (Positive dicrimination) c) How extensive do such discriminatory laws go? The heaviest punishment is life. d) Do such laws apply to tourists? Yes they do.
Homosexuality illegal 1a) Is committing sexual activities with a person of the same sex criminalised under the law? No. It is only criminal to commit sexual acts with someone of the opposite gender after one has come out of the closet. That would constitute “auto-sacrilege”. b) Are offenders of the law punished by a jail term beyond 10 years, execution, torture, et cetera? The jail term for auto-sacrilege is still at 15 years, but the law is not prosecuted anymore (except in the less tourist parts of the country) after lobbying by bisexual pressure groups. c) Do such laws apply to tourists? Yes. Just try to avoid the land-locked parts.
Pride banned 1a) Are LGBT pride parades illegal in your country? No, they are national holidays. b) If not, are such pride parades common in your country? Once a year, with His Majesty the Queen leading the biggest of them all.
Locals hostile 1. What is the percentage of the population that believes homosexuality should not be accepted by society? No exact figures. Less than 10% over all, but close to 45 % in the west. 2. Are LGBT related activities welcomed or shunned by society in general? Venerated, is the word. But things might be less celebrated in the west.
Persecution 1a) Have there been reported acts of persecution committed against LGBT minorities by the locals? Ten years ago, there was a rebellion in the west by a junta called “the Straight Alliance”. In their efforts to overthrow the legitimate government, they persecuted sexual minorities. Other parts of the country were seething with rage about the “godless west”. b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible have been prosecuted under the anti-blasphemy laws.
Murders 1a) Have there been reported murders of those who are part of LGBT minorities committed by the locals? Ten years ago, in the west. b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible could often not be brought to justice (since the non-homophobic part of the west had lynched them before the government could arrest them).
Death sentences 1a) Have there been reported executions targeted specifically at a person for committing activities related to the LGBT community/homosexual acts? Ten years ago in the west, although the legitimacy of the laws supporting these executions has never been ackowledged: the federal government still considers them premeditated murders. b) Are such executions glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible are serving VERY long prison sentences.
Miscellaneous* Country's Estimated Number of Gay Gathering Places per 100,000 homosexual tourists: All gathering places are in a way gay gathering places. There are some gathering places catering exclusively to straight people (especially in the west), and gay tourists are advised not to go there. Such places are of ill repute, its patrons may be subject to fining for blasphemy, and gay tourists could find themselves accused of auto-sacrilege. Are there any questions regarding this questionnaire? If so, please tell us what questions you may have: Please be advised that gay tourists travelling to the north and other less tourist parts may well be asked by the locals to bless a small child, or a herd, or a house. Gay tourists are kindly asked to provide such services to the locals, as a refusal could be interpreted as a curse, and lead to panic. Tourists should refuse to take children though, which the poorer locals may try to offer to gay couples. Tourists are reminded that adoption is restricted to legal residents.
