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

[Aldia]

Before the unification of Aldia, LGBTQ people were persecuted in a severe manner, they were shunned and discriminated against.
However over time there was growing acceptance towards them although they were still restricted from holding public office.

By the time of the unification they have become fully accepted members of society, this applies to both the human and non-human citizens of Aldia.
LGBTQ people are eligible to hold office in any government positions in the United Colonies. There are still a small group of people who are against LGBTQ people from holding public offices, but a majority of Aldia's population have no problem with it.
This guarantee is enshrined in the first article of Aldia's constitution:

All citizens of Aldia and her colonies are born free & equal in dignity and rights. - Article 1 of the Declaration of the United Colonies of Aldia

[Ritterdorf]

Same sex relationships are legal. Transgender movement, however, is frowned upon by the general public.

[Ardrentt]

LGBTQ+ individuals are already seen as a pretty normal part of Ardrenttide society; seeing them in positions of power is generally not an issue.

The larger problem would be there being a wide power imbalance at all, the notion is pretty much scorned here (e.g. a gay dictator would be equally as distrusted as a straight dictator or a transgender dictator irrespective of sexuality or gender)

[Atintane]

Overt LGBT activism is discouraged in Atintane and may run afoul of religious and legal authorities, who are obliged to strictly uphold moral ordinations. Otherwise there is not much emphasis given on private sexual activity or preferences.

[New Merakh]

There's a very rich history of LGBT+ people around the nation, particularly in the Mokhang (an large, indigenous group in eastern Merakh) sphere of influence.

In older versions of the regional language, trans men and trans women were referred to as Dinara and Diwani respectfully, meaning 'self(made) man/woman'. They were often seen as more spiritual and often took on the role of a healer. Some very primitive versions of medical transition began in the Mokhang region in the 1700s.

The Mokhang family structure was vast, meaning the community as a whole would help raise any children, and gay couples were frequently community leaders in this regard. There are many depictions of gay and transgender religious and historical figures throughout the region, and this acceptance and normality spread to arriving cultures from the south and the west.

[Khataiy]

Homosexuals are put to death here if they refuse or fail Government mandated therapy, and a majority of the population is anti-Homosexual.

[Victorious Decepticons]

We believe that only Decepticons should have any positions of power. LGBTQ+es are all some kind of biologicals or other, so they, just like their straight biological counterparts, may only hold the position of "slave" within the Empire.

We Decepticons, of course, are asexual since we are robots. This is one of the things that make us superior leaders: Our minds are not addled with mate-seeking or mate-retention routines, hormones, and other such biologically-driven causes of irrationality.

[Angea]

We treat LGBTQ+ equally except for the part that thinks his gender is other than it's biological one, these ones are being sent to psychiatrist

[Lancov]

Our Foreign Minister is gay, and this has created problems with several reactionary nations in the past.

[Painisia]

The Painisian Constitution guarantees rights to every single individual, even the LGBTQ+ community. They are all honored citizens

[Marcianus]

My nation doesn't really care. As long as they are a legitimately good leader, the gender they are attracted too isn't really a thing of matter.

[Regiria]

Their sexual orientation is irrelevant. That's only pertinent to whoever they're having sex with and anyone who would like to have sex with them. The only thing that matters is how well they do their job.

[Ieskarios]

Homosexuality isn't illegal but it is opposed by most people. Also, same-sex marriage and transgender rights are not legally recognized due to the strong influence of Christianity in the nation.

However, there is most likely a small underground LGBT scene in the major cities. It is likely hidden due to social pressure.

All this being said, any government official who is on the LGBT spectrum is closeted. Coming out as a homosexual in parliament is tantamount to career suicide in the traditionalist Christian nation.

[Argolir]

Argolirennhan will develop bonds with individuals of merit from either sex, many times with multiple partners who are in equal relationships with one another. This practice attracts bisexual and pansexual labels. No particular sexuality is a condition of meritorious service, because the ethoses which corrupted foreign nations into precluding productive persons on the basis of what naturally attracts them never took hold in our lands.

[Yohannes]

Many in the traditionally conservative 'heartland' countries dislike the current Chancellor of the Nineteen Countries, Annabelle Thorndon-Stevensonn, because she is the first lesbian Chancellor in the continent of Yohannes. The fact that her running partner, the Yohannesian Emperor Garnet til Alexandros, is a millennial further entrenches that negative opinion. Come election 2018, it has been predicted that the entire heartland countries, coal and steel corridor, and the bible belt areas will vote for the Social Democratic Party (with around 20% voting for Yohannes First).

Yohannes First has been running under the promise that, if elected as 'kingmaker' (i.e. they who decide which main party will form executive council by partnering with that party), it will introduce the Enabling Act 2018, which would allow the executive council to override the authority of the reichstag during "times of nation state significance."

The latest Paul-Ingram (political) Index reported that Marion Maréchal-Le Men has stolen many, many votes from the Christian Democratic Executive Council. Marion Maréchal-Le Men was a very popular Christian Democratic Party politician. She was a member of the Christian Faction within the party. Hard-working, always selflessly visiting her electorate to check on people (door knocking unannounced to greet the elderly, etc.), she used to be a very strong proponent of multiculturalism and open, economically responsible immigration. However... one day it all changed when her younger sister was attacked by a group of Muslim asylum seekers. She was then branded as a "racist" for attempting to fix the mess, which led to her switching her allegiance to Yohannes First. Ever since, she has voted against every single pro immigration initiatives by the executive council, and has turned against those who she used to work closely with in parliament before the incident.

The poll estimated that around 30% of those who voted for the Christian Democratic Party supported Marion Maréchal-Le Men's position -- they all sympathised with her plight. Sadly, what they did not know was that Marion Maréchal-Le Men was no longer the person that she was before the incident. The tide has turned swiftly against the Christian Democratic party; with one of the Emperor's closest allies turning against her (and the Chancellor), and doing everything that she can to bring "justice" to what she believe is right.

Abdullahi Lindström, the Minister of Energy and Science and Chairperson of the Ethnic Diversity Committee, who used to work alongside Marion very well (she was co-chair of the Ethnic Diversity Committee), has pleaded for her to return and "do what is right once again." Nickel Fallage, Ronald Chump and those politicians of the populist persuasion has benefited heaps from Marion's popularity; some have said that they are simply using Marion.

Some say that deep down in her heart, Marion is simply a heartbroken person.

Nevertheless, the stage is set for election 2018. Yohannes First, with the support of Marion, is set to be 'kingmaker'. If they do become one, the Enabling Act is all but a surety come 2018.

Will Marion Maréchal-Le Men overcome her anger and feelings of betrayal to go back and rejoin her old party, or will she instead stay in Yohannes First and bring about the beginning of the Enabling Act, and all 'reforms' that will come after it (and can be turned into reality because of the Enabling Act itself)

A story of love and betrayal. Anger and sorrow. Old friends against new. A formidable "old guard", who has turned against her entire party to "do what is right."

Along the way, the fate of multiculturalism in Yohannes; the stories of millions of families across the ethnic divide, will be affected.

Which side will Marion choose?

Election Yohannes 2018.

[Berhakonia]

Same-sex rights are recognized, but marriages may be refused or even declared void by Clergy. As for the people, they usually don't care about creed or identity, demonization tends to be directed at the sexuality itself rather than the people afflicted by it

[Sicaris]

Although not hated, homosexuality is outlawed due to the fact it normally cannot result in the production of a child due to biological differences. As such, the state outlawed homosexuality in order to boost birth rates and have large groups of youth to indoctrinate and raise. However, gay men or lesbians are shown minor sympathy, with them often being peacefully allowed to leave the country should they so choose, but if they choose not to they have a 2-week period before they are sent to prison, separated, and put into forced labor camps in order to "repay the debt" they "owe" to the National Union. Due to such policies, there are no (openly) homosexual people in positions of power.

"Non-binary" people are classified as mentally ill.

[Valentine Z]

Our flags should probably explain everything.

We don't discriminate someone based on their religion, race, or sexuality. Only judged on capability.

[Gnollock]

The default sexuality in Gnollock is pansexuality of a "if it's alive and has a hole, I will try to fuck it" type. The alive part is negotiable. Individuals with issues with certain sexualities are more likely to be forced into the sexual actions they find repugnant than anything else, since their distress would be considered amusing to watch. If they're strong or influential enough to resist being forced into such actions, chances are they're strong enough for their issues with sexuality to have come to the attention of - and been found annoying by - the Witch-Queen and they got killed in some way.

It should be noted that a handful of modernizers, who wish to abandon traditional Gnollish virtues in favor of foreign degeneracy, have objected to the above on different grounds. The humanizers, who wish to adopt human traditions, object to the entire thing on grounds of it being incompatible with human culture, while the hybridizers - who wish to combine Gnollish strength with human cleverness and technological know-how to conquer the world - mostly care about how the lack of concern about consent makes Gnollock look to the international community which could lead to it being isolated even if it were to attempt to open diplomatic relations.

The Witch-Queen, for her part, is apathetic to sex and gender so long as she gets to be the one on top. This is a common view in general, as well.

[Ktathria]

Most people feel broadly the same about an LGBT person in power as they would about anyone else. Our current Chancellor is a homosexual woman, not to mention active in the BDSM lifestyle. Most people don't hold it against her, nor would they vote for her because of it.

[Ethnostan]

Glorious ethnostan does not slaughter all "LGBQ" "people", however if any member of the Ethnostanian Government is found to be non-heterosexual they tend to "Get lost" going on "long walks in the forest" never to be seen again...

However, the Ethnostanian people believe getting "Gender Reassignment Surgery" is really just getting castrated and you cannot change your gender,
Trannies are seen in Ethnostan as degenerates who are snubbed and hated by the vast majority of the Ethnostanian people.

[UniversalCommons]

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

[Philippinae]

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.

[Slovai]

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.
