Kitacho Pro-LGBT Tourism Index (CLOSED)

by **Sungai Pusat** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 4:17 am

OOC: Based on the spartacus Gay Travel Index. Inspired in part by Numorland's Tourism Friendliness Index. If there seem to be any errors with my rating, please tell me via telegram and maybe the error can be ironed out.

EDIT: It's closed temporarily. Too many issues linger about in the questionnaire. Perhaps I'll post a new thread and everyone can resubmit it there and what-not.

IC:

Welcome to the Kitacho Institute's official Pro-LGBT Tourism Index website!

Within this website is a summary of locations within the universe that you should, or should not, go to when in need of a vacation if you happen to be one out of two Pusatians who are bisexual or one out of five who are homosexual or whatever number of beings in the universe are within the LGBT community, if at all.

So, without further ado, this is the official categorisation of nations that is used:

Hostile; Points < -10 points - Do NOT go to these places if you even so much as blink at a gay or bisexual person, you will be tracked to no end from such an environment. It may very well be a tourist hotspot, but unless you plan to go in with a new identity, our experts at the Kitacho Institute recommend ticking this off of your bucket list of places to visit.
Unfriendly; -10 points to -6 points - Not the best place to go if you're a gay or bisexual person: Perhaps you'll be looked down on by the locals. Maybe get snubbed by a waitress. But if you're not open about your sexuality to strangers and just like the attractions, give these places a go.
Neutral; -5 points to 3 points - These places may not give a shit. Not at all. They don't care and we don't care that they don't care; our experts sure as hell say it's a heck of a lot better than any of the above categories.
Friendly; 4 points to 7 points - Take note travellers: These are the places of warmth for the homosexual at heart. Possibly out of the lack of discrimination by the government or from the sheer level of equality given to everyone under the law, or perhaps even from the tourist-friendliness of the location, these are the countries that you will be welcomed in with open arms.
Fabulous; 7 points < Points - Congratulations: If you're a tourist that is even so much as stranded in one of these nations and is LGBT, then these are the countries that are willing to go through thick and thin to get you back on your feet, no matter whether the country in question is a mostly inhospitable wasteland.

All questions regarding the LTI may be posed from within the form given below, all of which will be answered along with the designated ranking for each country.

by **Philephebia** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 8:04 am

Official Information
Name of person/organisation taking questionnaire: The Federal Government of the Queendom of Philephebia
Name of nation: Philephebia
Form of government: Constitutional monarchy
Population: 16.089 Billion
Tech level of nation: Modern Times, but some parts are Third World.
How prevalent is tourism in your nation? Quite prevalent around the capital and along the coasts, quite rare in the land-locked north.

Anti-discrimination legislation
1a) Are there any anti-discrimination laws that apply for all minorities? Language minorities tend to be allowed a form of self-government customised for the specific minorities. None-natice minorities have special protection under the law, against discrimination.
b) Are there any anti-discrimination laws applying specifically for LGBT minorities? Sexual minorities are considered holy, and are subject to positive dicrimination.
c) How extensive do such anti-discrimination laws go? That means that homophobia equals sacrilege, and openly homophobic individuals might encounter angry, vigilante mobs.
d) Do such laws apply to tourists? We try to prevent the lynching of homophobic tourists, but we advise them to only visit the west of the country, where tolerance for homophobia is bigger.

Marriage/Partnership
1. Status of civil unions in your country: That’s for straight couples
2. Status of gay marriage in your country: The only kind of marriage we have. Allowing straight people to have the same rights as gay people would tarnish the sanctity of marriage.

Adoption Status
1a) Are homosexual couples able to adopt children? Of course
b) Are there any conditions for homosexual couples to adopt? They are preferred over straight couples.
c) Do such laws apply to tourists? Tourists are not allowed to adopt. Adoption is restricted to legal residents.

LGBT-Marketing

Equal Age of Consent
1. Age of consent for sex for heterosexual couples: 18
2. Age of consent for sex for homosexual couples: 16
3. Is the age of consent different for tourists? No. These laws apply to all.

Religious influence
1a) Is there a state religion in your country? Agnosticism
b)(i) Does the state religion condemn acts of homosexuality? No. As stated before, homosexuality is considered sacred, and gay and lesbian individuals are venerated in almost all of the country. The Royal house excludes straight princes and princesses from the line of succession.
(ii) If so, does a majority of the population follow this religion? Individuals are allowed to have other religions besides the state religion. Large parts of the population are Hindu, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. They mostly support the constitutional exclusion of straight royals from the throne.
2. If so, does the state religion influence the government's decision on legislation regarding LGBT minorities? Any government trying to legislate against the treasured and sacred minorities would commit political suicide.

HIV-travel restrictions
1. Are citizens infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel beyond the country's borders? Yes
2. Are foreigners infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel into the country's borders? Yes; disclosure of HIV positive status is obligatory on arrival, in case of hospitalisation.
3. Are offenders who travel in or out of the country punishiable by anything more than deportation under the law? Not applicable

Anti-gay laws
1a) Are there laws that discriminate against minorities as a whole? No.
b) Are there laws that discriminate LGBT minorities specifically? Yes. Popular demand has made homophobia punishable under the anti-blasphemy laws. (Positive dicrimination)
c) How extensive do such discriminatory laws go? The heaviest punishment is life.
d) Do such laws apply to tourists? Yes they do.

Homosexuality illegal
1a) Is committing sexual activities with a person of the same sex criminalised under the law? No. It is only criminal to commit sexual acts with someone of the opposite gender after one has come out of the closet. That would constitute “auto-sacrilege”.
b) Are offenders of the law punished by a jail term beyond 10 years, execution, torture, et cetera? The jail term for auto-sacrilege is still at 15 years, but the law is not prosecuted anymore (except in the less tourist parts of the country) after lobbying by bisexual pressure groups.
c) Do such laws apply to tourists? Yes. Just try to avoid the land-locked parts.

Pride banned
1a) Are LGBT pride parades illegal in your country? No, they are national holidays.
b) If not, are such pride parades common in your country? Once a year, with His Majesty the Queen leading the biggest of them all.

Locals hostile
1. What is the percentage of the population that believes homosexuality should not be accepted by society? No exact figures. Less than 10% over all, but close to 45 % in the west.
2. Are LGBT related activities welcomed or shunned by society in general? Venerated, is the word. But things might be less celebrated in the west.

Persecution
1a) Have there been reported acts of persecution committed against LGBT minorities by the locals? Ten years ago, there was a rebellion in the west by a junta called “the Straight Alliance”. In their efforts to overthrow the legitimate government, they persecuted sexual minorities. Other parts of the country were seething with rage about the “godless west”.
b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible have been prosecuted under the anti-blasphemy laws.

Murders
1a) Have there been reported murders of those who are part of LGBT minorities committed by the locals? Ten years ago, in the west.
b) Are such acts glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible could often not be brought to justice (since the non-homophobic part of the west had lynched them before the government could arrest them).

Death sentences
1a) Have there been reported executions targeted specifically at a person for committing activities related to the LGBT community/homosexual acts? Ten years ago in the west, although the legitimacy of the laws supporting these executions has never been ackowledged: the federal government still considers them premeditated murders.
b) Are such executions glorified by the local media? They were at the time, and those responsible are serving VERY long prison sentences.

Miscellaneous*
Country's Estimated Number of Gay Gathering Places per 100,000 homosexual tourists: All gathering places are in a way gay gathering places. There are some gathering places catering exclusively to straight people (especially in the west), and gay tourists are advised not to go there. Such places are of ill repute, its patrons may be subject to fining for blasphemy, and gay tourists could find themselves accused of auto-sacrilege.
Are there any questions regarding this questionnaire? If so, please tell us what questions you may have: Please be advised that gay tourists travelling to the north and other less tourist parts may well be asked by the locals to bless a small child, or a herd, or a house. Gay tourists are kindly asked to provide such services to the locals, as a refusal could be interpreted as a curse, and lead to panic. Tourists should refuse to take children though, which the poorer locals may try to offer to gay couples. Tourists are reminded that adoption is restricted to legal residents.
