Homosexuality Banned in UKH [MT|SEMI-OPEN]

[Communists for the people]

Code: Select all

Federation of Technopolis Diplomatic Dispatch
To: UKH
This is a highly illogical move. While it does not warrant warfare at this stage, your actions are condemned and we are adding a 30% tax increase to all trade to or from the UKH. However, if you wish to punish this with the death penalty, we will have no choice but to eliminate you.

Don't think he/she is...

[Shazbotdom]

FROM THE OFFICE OF HIS MOST HIGH
DEFENDER OF THE EMPIRE
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE MILITARY
SUPREME EMPEROR OF SHAZBOTDOM
LARRY WILLIAMS

Whilst we in the Empire feel that it is ignorant and childish of the Conservative and Independent Parties within The United Kingdom of Haguenau to ban Homosexuality as a whole. There are no real reasons for this ban but the mental incapacities of the leadership within The United Kingdom of Haguenau.
We here within the Shazbotdom Empire will take no official stance in the manner of Military Action against The United Kingdom of Haguenau. However there are members of the Marine Corps who would love to roll through your countryside and destroy everything in their path, they will not do so without approval from the High Command and myself.
We will though declare an official Declaration of Condemnation against The United Kingdom of Haguenau and issuing Trade Sanctions against their Government. We also issue a notice for Political Amnesty for Homosexuals from within The United Kingdom of Haguenau. The Empire will even go as far as to reimburse the airfare of those fleeing tyranny and oppression.

[Britanno]

BBC News:

Today an estimated 10,000 Britannon citizens took to the streets and blockaded the UKH embassy. Bricks and other missiles were thrown at the building. Some protestors also set fire to the building, trapping all 16 staff inside who eventually died. This is the 3rd embassy in Britanno to have been attacked by Britannon protestors due to those country's views on homosexuality.

The Prime Minister has announced that all trade routes and other agreements with UKH will be sopped until further notice and that UKH homosexuals are welcome to flee to Britanno. The Prime Minister condemned the decision made by the UKH but refused to comment on the attack of the UKH embassy.

This is godmod.

You're right, sorry. I will take down the post.

[Technopolis]

This is godmod.

You're right, sorry. I will take down the post.

Is it? Maybe don't kill the staff and give them some time to evacuate, but having your people assault an embassy in your territory is a thing that happens.

Subject: Back down.

To all nations declaring war on the UKH for pathetic reasons if this nation wants to ban homosexuality then that is their decision you have no say whatsoever. If you continue to harass the UKH we will take military action.

[Haguenau]

From: Bureau of the Magistrate 281 Côte-Vertue Avenue Angoulême, Capitale-du-Royaume Royaumes Unis d'Haguenau To: Marc Selwyn The Diplomatic Secretariat Royal Commonwealth of Gordano-Lysandus Date: May 3ʳᵈ, 2013 Les Royaumes Unis d'Haguenau - Bureau du Magistrat The United Kingdoms of Haguenau - Bureau of the Magistrate Greetings, First and foremost, I wish to remind you that the legislation was passed by a democratically-elected assembly. The memebers of this assembly were elected by our citizens to represent their beliefs and opinions. If one were to say that this legislation oppresses the people, it would be the same as saying that the people are oppressing themselves. The fact is, our population is highly conservative, and an outrage citizens criticizing the "ideological patriot" views of foreign nations that are imposing restrictions on the UKH because of this legislation is already surfacing. Few nations seem to realise that the government is not doing this against the will of its people, in fact, it is the opposite, the government is doing this BECAUSE IT IS the will of the people.

[Osthia]

Official Communique from His Imperial Majesty's Office

To the Government of The United Kingdoms of Haguenau,

The Constitutional Empire of Osthia wishes to inform you that it officially condemns the legislation that makes homosexuality illegal. It is the firmest belief of myself, the Dralien Royal Family, my Government, and the Osthian people, that all human beings were created equal in the eyes of God, and as such, are granted inalienable rights, including the pursuit of happiness. Whether your government does like it or not, the sexual exploits and acts of love are a pursuit to happiness. We urge for any with veto power to conduct it immediately, to protect the rights of the minority; for while it is the duty of government to fulfill the wishes of the majority, it is also the divine duty of government to protect the rights of their minorities.

While we will not threaten with military hostility, we will, if civil rights of the homosexuals are not protected, conduct economic sanctions and work with our embassy and consulates in the UKH to provide any homosexuals safe passage to the boundaries of Osthia, from now up until homosexuality is no longer illegal and until any persecution of the LGBTQ community is ceased.

We urge your government to listen to reason and perform its rightful duties.

Regards,
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor of Osthia
Emperor Justinian Valentinus Dralien V

Subject : Support

Excellency,

I bring to you a message of reassurance from HRH the Viceroy, the House of Lords and from the Peoples of Lyassa and Nairoa,
that
Haguenau may count on our support whatever the circumstances, the opposition and even the threats Haguenau has been getting from the international community.
Haguenau will have our full support, by means of diplomacy...and more if deemed necessary, including a rescue flotilla of the Royal LN Navy and a detachment of the Royal LN Marine Corps to help make certain that the democratically-achieved legitimacy of the recent homosexuality ban legislation - that the Assemblies of Haguenau have patriotically passed - won´t be challenged by the terrorists of political correctedness.

Long live the Queen,
and our Viceroy, Fedallah III

Ministry of Justice

His Excellency Charles Duchêne, Magistrate of the United Kingdom of Haguenau,

It is with great regret that the Ministry of Justice has become informed of such gross violation of human rights against the LGBT community The United Kingdom of Haguenau.

However democratic one may feel the processes leading up to the discriminatory legislation may be, the fact remains that legal prohibition of homosexuality is an attack on a persons unchanging Constitution.

Respecting the sovereignty of His Majesty The King and his people, the Grand Duchy of Normandy and Hull strongly condemns the actions of the Popular and Royal Assembly. It is the hope of Her Royal Highness's Government that you may remind the legislature of its pre-commitments to the people of Haguenau.

Signed,
The Right Honourable Claudia Vibert
Minister of Justice

Her Royal Highness The Grand Duchess of Normandy and Hull

His Majesty King Stephen II of the United Kingdom of Haguenau,

I have become aware of the actions of your Popular and Royal Assembly, in terms of the legislation that restricts homosexual activity.

On this matter, I write to you as a fellow sovereign and monarch to a people. I remind you that your role is to protect the forgotten and give voice to those that have none. In the case of this legislation, your government has taken moves that limits the expression of a persons inner self. An expression that is needed in order to live a fulfilling life.

Respecting the sovereignty of your majesty, take time to correct the error of your government.

Your sovereign sister,
Eleanor Regina
The Grand Duchess of Normandy & Hull

Public Outrage over International Response
Haguenauvian citizens protest against international response regarding anti-homosexuality legislation.
^{by Jacques Bendel (@j_dupont) | May 3, 2013 18:12 HST}

Angoulême - In response to the condemnations and the restrictions imposed on the UKH by several nations, citizens have organised a protest in the Ambassadorial District of Angoulême. The protest lasted an entire hour and ended without incident. Almost comically, the protesters left fruit baskets at the doors of embassies that have expressed support for the Haguenauvian government, as a symbol of both apology for the protest and as a sign of gratitude.

The leader of the protest, Élisabeth Josette, stated that she and her fellow citizens are outraged at the international response. Josette said that these nations are so preoccupied with civil rights that they have completely forgotten the importance of respecting the cultural beliefs and the political rights of other nations, and that these nations are essentially threatening to assault and imposing restrictions on the UKH in an "ideological crusade" because its citizens do not share the same liberal opinions as the citizens of these foreign nations.

Simultaneously, several businesses reported a sudden interest in products imported from nations that have expressed support for the UKH, a fact wildly interpreted as a symbol of appreciation from the Haguenauvian populace.

Magistrate Charles Duchêne made a public statement in response to the protest, where he assured the citizens of the UKH that he will not let the international community dictate the internal policies of the UKH, preferring to respect the opinion of his citizens than that of foreign leaders. He also announced that the Haguenauvian Armed Force have heightened their alertness in response to these voiced hostilities, and advised UKH citizens to avoid traveling abroad to nations that have taken a negative stance.

The Magistrate has, however, hinted that he is interested the possibility of attending a diplomatic summit with foreign dignitaries from the nations involved to defuse this situation.

OOC: Really...My nation doesn't outlaws gays and lesbians but it is not recognized by the Government, the Crown, nor even the Roman Catholic Church(-and never will it do so of course) so they are allowed to do whatever they fancy around the United Kingdom but, I don't understand nations declaring war just because one nation bans Homosexuality! Is that even a international problem? It is just a nation who has its own ideology and follows it very well, only wants simple responses not complicated threats from warmongering nations! What would you say if the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in real life bans Homosexuality and so suddenly the United States of America declare war on them with the rest of the NATO backing them up?! Senseless people! How senseless!

OOC: While I appreciate what you are doing, keep in mind that most nations in nationstates are very extremist. While I agree that these threats are very... extreme (ugh, repetition), and while I'm not particularly appreciating them, it's much more interesting to rp this our than to complain in ooc how they are unlike real-life policies. After all, if everyone in nationstates was trying to mimic real-life policies, it'd be a pretty dull place.

A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD FROM THE ROW EXECUTIVE OFFICE:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FRIDAY MAY 3 2013
5/3/13
CL: PD
ROW-GEO-R0-P1

The President of the Republic of Wreptzle would like to give his support to The United Kingdoms of Haguenau for outlawing practices of unnatural forms of marriage that have always threatened the bases of Religious Cultures and the traditional family structure. The Wreptzlian Parliament is currently drafting a resolution similar to Haguenau's that will formally affirm the values of our society. We now stand with The United Kingdoms of Haguenau in the situation that has needlessly become tense as warmongering nations wish to use such a resolution to further their agendas of war. We applaud the other nations who have already stood-up for Haguenau's sovereignty. The United Kingdoms of Haguenau can be rest-assured that the Republic of Wreptzle will assist in finding a peaceful solution along with the other nations who have sided with those in the right, though they can also be assured that help will be available if hostilities begin.

We will continue to monitor the situation and shall inform the world when the drafting of our own resolution is finished.

On the Behalf of the People of the Wreptzle states,
President Sirsky

Homosexuality Banned in UKH
A legislation banning homosexuality has been passed in the Popular Assembly and approved by the Royal Assembly.
^{by Jean Dupont (@j_dupont) | May 3, 2013 15:41 HST}

Angoulême - Today, the Popular Assembly held a vote on a legislation that would make homosexuality formally illegal. The result was 441 MPs for, 164 MPs against, and 5 MPs undecided. The legislation then was passed to the Royal Assembly, where it was approved with 562 Lords in favor and 48 Lords against. The legislation, which bans the expression of homosexual tendencies in any form, will be enforced after a 14-day grace period.

The topic of homosexuality has not been subject to legislature since 1691, when the Church was discharged of all political and legislative rights. Since then, homosexuals' rights were not subject to explicit prohibition or tolerance, but homosexuality has been, and still is today, a taboo practice in the Haguenauvian culture.

Recently, the influx of outside media has brought many members of both the Haguenau Conservative Party and the Independent Haguenau party to consider a formal prohibition. The Liberal Federalist Party fiercely opposed to such a legislation, but their small number in the Popular Assembly (33 seats, 5%) prevented them from stopping the legislation.

A spokesperson from the Haguenau Conservative Party said that this legislation was passed to protect the values and ideals of the UKH, adding that homosexuals are defacing the culture of the nation. He advised that homosexual citizens of the UKH should emigrate from the nation, turn to heterosexuality, or at the very least content themselves with asexuality.

The congress of the USN, believing this is abuse of civil rights, shall for now issue economic, social, and political sanctions on the UKH, and will discuss further action later on.
