Yes and No.

It is not illegal, and violent hate crimes are rare, but non-violent discrimination is legal. It doesn't happen that much though in most areas of employment, as chasing the pink pound away makes no economic sense.

In Alexandria, you can be executed for homosexuality. Heterosexuality is the only accepted sexuality, so no. The same goes for transgenders, you can be executed for identifying as any other gender than the one you were born as. The only accepted genders in Alexandria are Male and Female.

Yes, in East Andocara (where most people live), there is generally an accepting and tolerant attitude towards the LGBTQ community. Shaming of the LGBTQ community is socially unacceptable. Even heterosexual people aren't judgmental towards it.

Yes Homosexuality us legal, and it's rights are enshrined in the constitution. However, it is legal for religious sects to refuse service to non-binary people because freedom of religion is enshrined in the constitution.

Estado Novo Portugues wrote:Homosexuality, in and of itself, is not illegal (that would be impractical to enforce). But publicly expressing support for it is illegal, because such a kind of speech would go against the official Catholic teachings and offend people's religious beliefs. The Holy Catholic State fiercely rejects the Marxist ideas of liberalism and secularization.


In short:Yes and no.Life isn't black or white; there are many shades of gray in between.(Note:anything "de facto" was not written out due to unspoken expectation, ex: the analog,"de facto", etc .)

Statement by「中華醫師總會」 "Chinese "General Association" or "Federation“ „Chinesischer Läkareshauptversammlung": ""According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), which lists all the conditions psychiatrists then considered to be a mental disorder, “homosexuality” is classified as a “sociopathic personality disturbance”and “sexual deviant behavior.”Thus, homosexuality is by law classified as no different from and thus equal to any other disease such as ASPD, pedophilia, etc.As such, govt legally recommends against bullying, mocking, etc. of said patients/such behavior is de jure a prosecutable offense.(See de facto below.)

A Supreme Court judge's response to this inquiry:
Reminder:All laws apply to everyone equally regardless of citizenship, gender, etc.(De facto: everyone is always eligible for prosecution.) List of nonexistent homosexual "rights":Asylum,coparent recognition or any parenting,constitutional protection, hate crime law, education protections,employment protection, adoption or medically assisted "pregnancy",military service.

Laws limit "freedom" of expression on the grounds of public health/safety.Publication of nonnegative coverage in:Theater, film, print, online material, arts, etc, as is with abortion, contraception, "yiff", inappropriate cosplaying, etc., is a felony equivalent to a minimum sentence of $1 million USD and 30 years (labor camp as opposed to (per judge's discretion) a chance at jail for time in regular jail) on top of mandatory reeducation sessions with pyschiatrists and other Department of Appropriateness officials (in charge of govt anticorruption,public nudity, etc); punishments are always adjusted for socioeconomic status (ex:govt officials, clergy punished more harshly due to accordance of more respect.) Mentioning support at work, etc. is a one time warnable offense with no punishment; same treatment for handholding, etc below applies for repeat offenders. Society abides by "omertà."As with "yiff", et., mention or coverage (incl negative) of any sorts is generally socially prohibited unless necessary (ex:religious education, tightening legal restrictions, etc.). Severe offenders/offenses (per judge's discretion) such as "abusing positions of authority" (ex: corporate ads ftring homosexual "couples") eligible with the freedom of the death penalty at 1,000 volts, followed by 2,000 volts as per Kemmler (1890).

Semieexistent policies: tackling hatred or prejudice. Discrimination against mental disease patients is strictly illegal and is taught against in school under the "unacceptability of unequal treatment against mental disease patients" curriculum requirement, which is forbidden from mentioning homosexuality by name.Sex education (mandatory/starting from Kindergarten through whatever date deemed necessary by the Science General Association, as modeled on Europe (starts in Kindergarten in Berlin, etc)), is forbidden from alluding to or discussing it, as with contraception); even writing an antihomosexual or "yiff",etc.article would facilitate dialog when citizens refuse to care about its existence, and is thus unwelcome. (Even negative dialog.) Homosexuality and homosexual behavior are legally distinguishable.Just as ASPD, etc.aren't prosecutable unless action has occurred, the same applies here."I don't care so don't make me care." Being caught engaging in romantic or sexual behavior such as marriage, kissing, cohabitating (ex:house for a gay couple as opposed to its regular form (college dorms, etc.)), practicing sexual behavior, informing others of one's mental health status, etc. is firable behavior; all employers are legally required to fire employees who do so, although enforcement varies based on socioeconomic factors,degree of offense/situation in general (handholding in a closed indiv. office vs in public,publicity of case, provincial governor vs janitor, etc.)Once again, top companies, clergy/govt officials obv. are the harshest, as are schools, orphanages,hospitals, etc. Marriage is legal in that if the hotel approves/attention of the authorities is not aroused, the ceremony, dinner, etc can proceed. De jure a prosecutable offense with minimum of ten years (regular jail),1000 lashes (whip), fines, etc.) but like abortion, etc., behavior de facto occurs with rare prosecution except in when attention is aroused, ex:tourism, by neighbors, etc.

Analog: "Like the Germans, the best approximation of "gedogen" in English is "to tolerate." But tolerance is passive. Gedogen is active, pragmatic tolerance, an explicit and open-eyed concession to reality. If there is a social matter that will not allow a concrete solution, the Germans will "gedoog" it; they will allow a flexibility in enforcement — not by ignoring the behavior, but by accommodating it.The Germans acknowledge, officially and with intensive debate, that sometimes eradication of a problem is impractical — and for that reason may be an inappropriate objective.A social concern that has been gedoogd is, then, not legal — but not illegal.Ex:"Streetwalking," or prostitution outside of a redlight district, is illegal. However, on the perimeter of some large metropolises is often a site called a "tippelzone" where such illegal activities are themselves tolerated.(Ex:abortion clinic in an out-of-the-way deadend alley.The activities for which a tippelzone is established, however, are illegal — but they're allowable, within the small area provided no one notices/lack of renown.The odds are that the ability to go even beyond "gedogen" — not-legal-but-not-illegal — and into the realms of "illegal, but allowable" is not within the skill-set of the Anglophone...."Bleib auf dem Teppich, dann fällst du immer noch hart genug"(Just act normal, that’s already crazy enough!)"With tacit permission of neighbors, etc.Organized crime targeting is ignored by law enforcement unless one is unwise enough to wish to arouse attention of any sort, as that'd require properly enforcing the law (as per Stonewall.)Undercover police are sometimes deployed in:(ex:frequent mugging, transmission of diseases, neighbor complaints or just if they want to, etc.) (ex:on an abortion clinic with such conditions.)

Treatment (unless behavior has occurred) is always welcome and free under Singaporean-style universal public only cheap healthcare via conversion therapy, Iranian style gender reassignment (legal for homosexuals only, not transexuals etc), (pharmaceutical) drugs, etc but nondisclosure is mandatory. If offense occurs, treatment is mandatory.

The LGBTQA+ population is the majority population in my nation, seeing as The Kingdom of Arsenioh was originally founded as a matriarchy and catered solely to the needs of the female population while men acted as breeders. However, after the transition from matriarchy to Kingdom (with Queen Fenejah Gauthier still presiding), women are still widely regarded as beacons of power. Therefore, most women tend not to only marry women because of the gender ratio (3:1; women:men), but also because life with a woman is more financially stable and socially acceptable.

Homophobia is widespread in Ivorian society. 68% of Ivorians believed that LGBTQs were immoral or psychologically disturbed. 42% believed homosexuality is not a legitimate sexual orientation. 7% believed they should be compulsorily treated. 2% believed that homosexuals should be eliminated. However, 82% of Ivorians were in favour of anti-discrimination laws for LGBT people.

There are several anti-discrimination laws in place, but some with no effect. As we officially welcome all hardworking socialist comrades, there is homophobia en masse. LGBTQ+ people live in fear of their entire communities turning against them for lack of goodwill. This is a prevalent issue in our culture, however our current political turmoil has left us with a Premier and we are trying to stabilize the nation.

Yeah. This may sound curious since marriage equality isn't mentioned in our factbooks, but with Vegaslovakia being officially Misanthropic, you have the ability to list only up to five people in legal documentation, including lovers, who you actually do trust before you may end up getting requests for hospital visitation, have legal counsel talk to these few people about your last will and testament, etc.

These legal documents of only five people or less aren't something held in Vegaslovakia's general legacy, that is to say, the Vegaslovakian vanguard and people do wonder if it should be different, but the suggestion for it was found in some papers of the best friend of Jagajeet Dubey's, who happened to be one of the founding revolutionaries.

Homosexuality and other sexual degeneracy is purely a human affair. The mushroom population is asexual and the sapient turtle population has never recorded any instance of homosexual behavior. In all of Nationstates history, as known by TurtleShroom, only three types of widespread, non-sapient turtles have ever been observed committing homosexual debauchery.

The first and final LGB "rights" case in TurtleShroom was decided in 1945 AD, in which it stated that mere same-sex attractions and the confession thereof cannot be punished. The Supreme General Court's ruling was based on the argument that homosexuals are innocent if they do not actually act on what they experience. Specifically, this innocence was presumed because "homosexuality is involuntary and you can't criminalize a disease". For this reason, "coming out" and simply being attracted to the same sex is not punished, retaliated against, or disciplined.

Since then, further understanding of mental health and sexual orientation has weakened the "disease" terminology and shifted it to "involuntary deviation from neurotypical behavior", while still retaining the belief that homosexual actions is unnatural.

However, TurtleShroom criminalizes sodomy (for any sexual orientation), buggery (considered a minor crime and misdemeanort), and, for both sexual orientations, "flamboyance in excess". All of these fall under the laws of "vice".

No. Promoting or being affiliated with LGBTQ(being gay, lesbian or transgender) is punished by death sentence, a harsh one. Person is hanged in a public square and then he/she is left hanging for 3 days. The special thing about this in the Federation though, is that you are not banned to shoot hanged people, this and our gun loving culture resulted in rise of kiosks that you can rent guns in and buy ammo to shoot them. Some families even like to go to public squares on holidays to shoot hanged criminals, often bringing their own tools. Such situation was caused by teenage trauma of Mirko Drakić when he was acknowledged of fact that the girl he loved turned out to be a lesbian. This experience scarred him for life and resulted in really strong homophobic and transphobic attitudes of the Neotitoist Party and the Establishment as a result.

Depends on where you are, there are no laws because there is no state, and people are generally more socially liberal because of that fact, but there’s also no laws in the way of lgbt protection as we don’t believe in positive rights, on the plus-side though you can get any kind of surgery you want without the government getting in the way, which makes life much easier for trans people

There are private schools and private communities where there is a strict gender binary which is strictly enforced, and communities where there is no gender binary, it all depends on where you want to live and how you want to live, because this is a society of free men and people can make of that what they will

Many Auzkhians have very positive and affirming attitudes on gender and sexually variant people. It estimated that about 35% of the entire populace is LGBTQIA+ in some way.

The legal

Sexual Orientation:
It is explicitly protected under federal and all state anti-discrimination and hate crime laws. Though, it's used less and less nowadays, but it still on the books.
Anyone can get married to each other regardless of gender. Polygamy is also legal.

Gender:
Legal recognition of gender is based on self-identification. You have a right to change it. We removed any medicalized barriers as of 2017.
The federal government recognizes 3 categories for passports, male, female, and non-binary. (M,F, X)
Many state governments follow federal governments and some states have made gender markers on IDs optional, leaving the spot blank.

Attitudes
Many people see more and more same-gender parents and married groups and couples.
A lot of people here don't see gender as a rigid binary that is biologically determined but a complex and culturally variant spectrum of identities that can vary across our great realm. We pride ourselves on social equality, especially after our revolutionary past. More and more see homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, etc as equal to heterosexuality. Auzkhia was one of the first nations to really study and take seriously when the contemporaries were less open-minded hundreds years ago, but even so that varied. It is a non-issue here.

Homosexuality has never been illegal in Jerdena, and it is accepted as a normal part of human sexuality by most of the country. Transgender people are afforded equal rights under the law and the right to change their gender, but they are not as widely accepted as gays and lesbians. It is also illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Furthermore, an annual Pride Parade is held in the capital which is attended by most important political figures in the country.
