How does YN feel about LGBTQ+ people in positions of power?

[The Great-German Empire]

Some Germans would have less than friendly things to say, but for the most part there wouldn't be must of a reaction. The government certainly wouldn't make a positive or negative point out of it.

[Telario]

There is no current law prohibiting LGBT citizens from entering government but the President has spoken how he would rather have a heterosexual in power after him.

[Neonix]

This is not generally considered to be an issue. Nobody cares about the sexuality of others; this certainly extends to persons in power as well.

A few Directors, several MNAs, and countless Councillors are LGBT+. No doubt some heads and executives in major corporations are as well.

Though news with reference to the sexuality of persons of interest is not unheard of, it is usually in the context of exposing adultery or other forms of gossip.

[Agonya]

Agonya's Defence Secretary is transsexual.

[Kromi]

Þeir power is stripped away.

[Subhurbia]

[New Camelot of Avalonia]

We have never had an LGBTQ+ Prime Minister of Deputy Prime Minister, though there have been numerous leaders in the devolved parliaments of Avalonia. The first was in 1978, Jean Bredoteau-Romain, he was Prime Minister of the Luxembourg National Parliament.

[Evergar]

Native Evergarian society does not regard LGBTQ+ as a legitimate classification for human beings. It is viewed rather as a political ideology and movement and one unwelcome and unwanted in the country.

Individuals claiming to be transgender are viewed as extremely mentally ill, suffering from gender dysphoria. Because of this, they face enormous repression, ostracism, and difficulties even finding a job. They may be sent forcibly to live inside public-funded madhouses or in concentration camps isolated from the rest of society, oftentimes for life. Others may end up renouncing citizenship and moving to another country.

Furthermore, homosexuality remains a felonious crime. Punishments for being found guilty of homosexual activity include forcible submission to a psychological evaluation all the way to execution by the state. Open homosexuals also face regular marginalization, discrimination, and persecution by both private citizens and the government, which are all not illegal. They also are barred from holding many jobs, such as in the military.

So what do the people in the country think of LGBTQ+ individuals in power?
Unacceptable, alarming, full of disapproval, and met with harsh criticism.

[Thermodolia]

If you are LGB or asexual most people (80%) have no problem with it, however for those who are Trans*, Queer, Non-Binary, or the like only 31% of people approve on them being in office. Most (67%) do not approve of them or their being in power

[Unified Communist Councils]

The Unified Communist Councils Republics recognize LGBTQ+ as a legitimate classification for human beings, under the definition that it is simply another sexual orientation, which is in turn caused by a number of psychological factors and variations in social upbringing.

Proles claiming to be transgender are inclusively accepted with their identities recognized and taken into consideration when decision-making is being democratical deliberated.

Furthermore, homosexuality remains accepted since decriminalization in 1 Before Arrival of Yan. There are no state-sanctioned persecutions, legal punishments or the condoning of vigilantes or mob prejudices upon queer-identifying proleriats. Previously existing discriminatory, repressive and outdated laws originating from the tyranny of the old order in the Holy Koriyan Empire period have all been repealed and rendered NULL AND VOID.

So what do the people in the country think of LGBTQ+ individuals in power?
They are socially accepted, they have the right to feel psychologically safe around their peers and community, are included and represented in decision making if present and are equally entitled to the allocation of the means of production in accordance with their own needs and abilities.

Schools and other educational institutes have been reformed to increase awareness of the historical oppression of LTBQA+, are covered as an academic subject within Ethics and Civics classes, and economic subsidies and special financial loans are rewarded to cooperatives that are commended as inclusive; in turn, producing competition and economical incentives to advocate the acceptance of LGBTQA+ peoples.

[Straumrike]

Straumrike has historically not discriminated against homosexual people. In it's history it was normal for people, regardless of sex or gender, to encounter sexual encounters with both genders. Even when a christian minority grew from the Middle Ages onward, most christians saw it as normal behaviour. From the Middle Ages onward when Norway took controll of the archipelago homosexuality was illegalised, although this was very unpopular among most Straumrikers and it was never enforced in the territory. When Straumrike was democritized in 1957 the new regime enacted reforms, such as being the first nation to legalize same-sex marriage in 1959 through referendum (although same-sex marriage was regularely performed in its history, but not recognized by the Norwegian rulers). In 1960 same-sex parents were allowed to adopt children and allowed to serve in the military openly, with other sweeping reforms in the years to come, all through referenda. Straumrike's current prime minister Bjøøn Týptál is homosexual. Persecution of LGBTQ people in Straumrike is rare, but exists from extreme fascists and a tiny minority of christians and other religious people. Transgenderism was first recognized in the Third Commonwealth (1957 - Current) in 1979 and many reforms were passed through referenda to increase the rights of transgender citizens. Transgenderism was not present in the same way that homosexuality was in its history, but it did exist and although not recognized by the Norwegian rulers, Straumrikers accepted people changing gender very often.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

Any creature of any species who, while working for any governmental body on any level, is convicted of sodomy or similar sexual crimes, is immediately expelled from office. No sexually active sodomite is legally permitted to serve in any capacity in any form of governmental position.

The simple state of being homosexual, however, is neither a crime nor grounds for removal from office. As with any crime, an accused sodomite must be convicted in a fair trial based on evidence against him. Reasonable doubt is in play, of course. Likewise, a TurtleShroomer convicted of sodomy can serve in any public office or government body, including the military. Mandatory psychological evaluations for those convicted of minor LGB crimes, like buggery, are compulsory, but institutionalization is not invoked.

No TurtleShroomer has been expelled from office on the grounds of illicit homosexual activities since 1983 AD.

---

Gender Identity Disorder is considered a mental health crisis and TurtleShroomian youth- always human -experiencing gender dysphoria during puberty are encouraged to tell their parents, school psychologists, or other authority figures. The state funds therapy sessions and counseling to help overcome gender dysphoria at no cost to them. Adults who retain GID after puberty tend to be institutionalized until they can become at peace with their bodies, but are usually not indefinitely committed unless they are suicidal.

All "gender reassignment" mutilation, or giving hormone "therapy" to minors with the intent of "treating" (AKA exacerbating) gender dysphoria is considered child abuse. Child abuse is punishable by death or life in prison. The child themselves, even if they asked for it to be done, is not guilty of any crime. For situations where GID is severe enough to compel the minor to mutilate themselves, involuntary commitment is the final resort, as is the case with suicide in general.

---

Extrajudicial attacks against sodomites and other LGB deviants, that is, "gay bashing" and lynchings, are aggressively prosecuted. "Gay bashing" is punishable by up to a maximum of death or life in prison; this is the situation where a lynch mob is most aggressively pursued and punished. Seen as an uncharacteristic reaction by a state that is officially anti-homosexual in law and practice, TurtleShroomian lawmakers have justified this uncharacteristic aggression against "gay bashing" using the usual beliefs about the presumption of innocence and fair trials, but also on the grounds that protecting sodomites from violence gives "Conversion Therapy", the act of helping homosexuals become celibate through counselling, a higher success rate.

As with all other TurtleShroomers, sodomites are encouraged to purchase a taser or guns to protect themselves. "Armed Gays Don't Get Bashed" is a common slogan for multiple foreign-based armed dealers that domestically cater to TurtleShroomers.

[Pirusavia]

Okay enough for people in the Supreme Federal Assembly, but probably hesitant for higher powers such as President or Prime Minister. It must be noted that it is not forbidden for homosexual peoples taking higher power, though.

[Auzkhia]

Pretty well actually, it's no big deal, nearly half of the population can be considered to one of the many groups of LGBTQIA+ communities

Our Head of state is Emperor Karl II and he is bisexual and married to one wife Empress-Consort Francesca, and four husbands, the imperial consorts, some call them emperor consorts or archdukes. They hold no official status beyond being married to the monarch and head of state. Polygamy is actually normal for monarchs nowadays, many on the state level practice, usually with one of a different gender and four of the same gender, unless they are heterosexual, though exclusively homosexual monarchs tended to be unmarried or have five husbands if male or five wives if female.

Head of Government, the Federal Chancellor, is Dr Katherina Bierlein, and she's a trans lesbian with multiple wives and partners too.

We our proud that our government truly reflects the people it governs, we are a representative democracy that truly does the represent all of the needs of the people of the realm.

Most Auzkhians see homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, being transgender and or non-binary, queerness, etc as being normal as being heterosexual and/or cisgender. Auzkhia is thought to be the birthplace of the modern LGBTQIA community in our universe. We led the world in gender and sexual exploration. In some cases, we think that some LGBTQIA people are more worthy of power because of their charisma and community. In our religion, many religious leaders are LGBTQ+ but in the past they've often had done it in relative secrecy and did not identify as anything, but saw it as just duty, though some people used to believe that heterosexual couples were better suited for the public eye due to family and prioritizing reproductive sex, especially after times of war, death, and plagues.

With our new and improving lives, we can see the value in the diversity of everycreature, we celebrate this and embrace a cosmopolitan open and free society that lets self expression, love, peace, and community and friendship flourish. Almost all people support this, as this is what democracy looks like.

[Gandoor]

It's perfectly accepted and not considered particularly abnormal in our nation. After all, three of our Prime Ministers have been part of the LGBT+ community, including our current one; there have been many members of the Forum who are LGBT+; cabinet members; etc., so it'd be a bit strange if we thought it as something wrong. Our nation is well-known for its acceptance of the LGBT+ community and this is just one of those examples.

[Wormfodder Delivery]

Worms are against it. Not because they have any opinion about LGBTQ+ people, but because such people do not exist in their society and thus would be non-worms. And company safety precautions do not allow that.

The Slovan people are not fond of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ people. They find them to be really quite disgusting, and wish to have nothing to do with them. Some more brutish folks will beat such "sodomites" and occasionally kill them. This is a slight upgrade from thirty years ago, where they were taken to the firing squad and executed, if they were lucky.

Having LGBT people in our government is a sure way of triggering a national scandal here. If in any case one was found to be such, the individual in question shall be removed from his or her position and shall be prosecuted to face public whipping and reeducation.

Based.

There is no litmus test based on sexuality to hold public office. Sexuality is considered a matter of private choice and is not legislated.

Some Germans would have less than friendly things to say, but for the most part there wouldn't be must of a reaction. The government certainly wouldn't make a positive or negative point out of it.
