Due to a lack of historical oppressive patriarchal culture in Asnea and the refoundation of all human civilisation in the 45th century BPA being based on 22nd century Terran morals and laws, the concept of "LGBT" is not contemporarily applicable in Thama or any other nation on the planet. It is however a valid categorisation in context of comparison of 19th century Asnea to other settings, so it will be discussed in this context.

Pure homo and heterosexuality are relatively rare and so monosexuals comprise perhaps 10% of the population of Thama. This means that roughly 95% of the population is LGBT - 90% being pansexual to some degree, even though total pansexuals only make up perhaps 10-15% of the population. This obviously extends to the government.
Roughly 20% of the population is transgender, in the sense that their gender identity does not line up with their sex. Between 6% and 8% are binary transgender people - those whose assigned sex is either fully male or female and their gender identity is female or male respectively - the rest are genderless or nonbinary and treated as such. The majority of the population is still naturally cisgender as cultural openness and acceptance don't change neurochemistry.

His Imperial Highness, Archon Cedric Stargard, is a gay trans man. Monosexuality seems to run in the family, as his grandmother was a lesbian, and his father and father's grandparents were straight. He is however more notable for his gender - he is the first ever openly trangender monarch.

We have some openly queer MdRs (mostly from the SPD, Greens, and Communist parties) and many historians have found out that some of our past monarchs were gay or bisexual, such as Ludwig II of Bavaria. Auzkhia had seen some same sex royal weddings between members of imperial family and also noble families.

Gay marriage was legalised in 2010 and homosexuality has been legal since independence in 1997, but LGBT members of government are still few and far between. Currently two LGBT members are currently sitting in government, Cape Fold Senator George Stephen of the Labour Party is openly homosexual, and MP for Constantia Eden Williams of the Alliance Party is an open lesbian.

The old DJ of National News Radio was homosexual, but he recently died of radiation poisoning. The other 3 remaining members of the federal government are both living and straight.

President Valentina Stroman is a bisexual. Her wife, First Lady Mayra Kessler-Stroman, is a lesbian. There are other people of alternate sexual persuasions at all levels of governance, and we like to laugh at some nations whose leaders seem almost to trip over themselves showing how oppressive they can be.

We have some LGBT people in our government, although they are few since our LGBT population is extremely small. When we vote in or choose members of the government, their skills and experience are usually considered more than traits like sexual orientation, skin color, which sex, etc.

This nation/world is always orbiting around some version of Earth (Unless there is no Earth in that universe), so the sudden appearance of this world in a universe usually has nasty tidal consequences on an Earth that doesn't have a similar Moon already.

In Equestria, it is very illegal to be anywhere on the Lesbian Gay Bisexual spectrum, though it is punished by fines, jail time, and then chemical castration depending upon number of conviction. Gender dysphoria is treated as a physical deformity to be cured through magical means to reverse the birth sex of an individual; the state views it extremely immoral to alter the pony mind or any sapient mind for that matter. Including that of homo- and other forms of abnormal sexual, the attempts to cure such generally are inequine and as said before, the manipulation of the mind is something the state strays away from largely.

As to their presence in the government, we have recently removed a proven homosexual from office and subjected him to flogging in Justice city. Although he was released back into society after this. But to the question of transsexual, around 1.2% of the populace go through with the generally harmless magical transition. It would not surprise the Revolutionary state or the general populace if one or two members of the Congress, State, or even military, is someone born in another sex would exist as a member. Although it would basically be considered a null point for or against a pony, unless of course it was a long term struggle with their own identity. Then they may be treated somewhat differently depending upon how that wait is viewed of them; were they just a mare trying to be a stallion? Were they trapped by family expectations? So on and so forth, although it would stay private.

But the shorter answer is, no. We don't know and likely there are none, and any (practicing) homosexual that continued to flow under the radar may as well be considered a grade A liar to both the state and people at large.

The LGBT community exists in the Empire but it's incredibly small. However, homosexuality and bisexuality are not illegal and no one particularly gives a shit so long as you're not forcing yourself on someone. Although Transexuality is considered a mental illness.

28% of Antarcticans identify as LGBT+, the highest percentage in the world in our canon, and they are well-represented in our government, with 304 out of 1,000 Members of Parliament and six out of fifteen Supreme Court Justices identifying as LGBT+. Prime Minister Mayweather herself is openly bisexual.

Only two gay people have ever held a government position. The first was a member of parliament, but was exposed as being gay. He resigned shortly after this came to light.

The second currently holds a position in the FII's parliament.

Currently no openly LGBTQ people's in the National Government. There are however plenty of rumors revoliving around current and former politicians being Homosexuals, the most notable rumors revolve around former Prime Minister Ginchiyo Shinseki who had fathered 3 children with his partner Kumi Obayashi, but in recent years his relationship with his political aid Katsuburō Daiichi and the possibility of a homosexual relationship between the two.

Politically homeless, nominal liberal. My politics are informed by my edgy middle school ""Clerical Communism"" and my equally as edgy high school Minarchist phases. Nominally I'm a social liberal who believes in the reasonable rights of all to express themselves socially and politically without ramification, I enjoy strong free trade principles with a strong emphasis on anti-corporatism and the need for strong but well checked Labour Unions and government anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws. I enjoy describing my positions as based on the principles of Realpolitik and derive influences from people like Henry Kissinger, Dwight Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama.

Frøya our empress is homosexual. In addition, members of the Amason-divisjonen (Amazon Division) female-only elite military unit are required to be homosexual or asexual. That way they won't be as easy to influence by enemy fighters, who are overwhelmingly male.
