LGBT rights

[Agarntrop]

I would just like you to summarize LGBT rights in your country:

Homosexuality has been legal in Agarntrop since 1952 if you exclude the Dasir Earning dictator years from 1973 to 1981. Civil partnerships between people of the same sex were legalized in 2000 although gay marriage is not legal yet however the current prime minister promised to legalise it by 2020 in his manifesto in the last election.

[Capucinn]

All types of gender identities and sexual orientation have been legal in Capucinn since the Revolution (881 IE, 0 ÅE, 279 years ago), excepting during the period of the Winter Republic (a theocratic regime in place from 148 to 155 ÅE). Gay marriage is supported by the major Capucænn religion, Yånnism, which does not condemn it in any way. Therefore, gay marriage is legal both through the state (legal since the Autumn Republic, 2—16 Åkland Era) and through the major religion.
All discrimination towards LGBT+ people is punished by 5 years of forced labour ("community labour") and 25,000 gyllbjörns.

[Hertisy]

Sexual orientation doesn't matter in terms of institutions, government stuff, or marriage. Hell, you could call yourself a gay butch and marry a straight genderfluid person, doesn't matter. LGBT people are humans.
Although, Hertisy follows science's classification of the T as still being a mental disorder, which it technically is.

[Azadistan-land of the free]

Homosexuality is allowed based on civil rights.
Gay marriage is legal in state registry offices(which exist in areas with atheists) and if the place of worship agrees(as freedom of religion is regarded as as important as gay rights).
Some Islamic scholars are against it in Azadistan although some say
the story of Lut because it involves men raping other men does not apply to other examples of homosexuality. Transgender people have always been respected due to hadiths where Muhammad allowed a transgender women(called a mukkanathan) to stay in the area of his house for his wives.
Male Homosexuality whilst never widely prosecuted was only made legal in 1800. Being lesbian was never specifically a crime but if they were Muslim they could be charged with sex before marriage until 1900 when the first lesbian couple got married(there being no specific law against it) in 1960 gay marriage was legalised for men.

[Tondo Federation]

Homosexuality is legal in our constitution, but gay marriage isn't legal in our nation because of our long history of Greek colonization.
However, the LGBT population of our nation is decreasing because of the majority of them abandoning their gay lifestyles and adapting to Christian living.

[The Land of the Ephyral]

═───╡❖╞────────═ LGBT Rights in the Freehold of Ephyra ═────────╡❖╞───═

---

Ephyra has no codified constitution, but instead derives its rights from a collection of sources, including customs, precedent, and a number of written documents and statues over many centuries. None of these documents explore the nature of LGBT, as the Freehold is rather dismissive of its legitimacy.

Cultural norms surrounding sexuality do not operate on a heterosexual-homosexual dichotomy, but rather one of power based around an 'active' and a 'passive' partner, known more crudely as the dominant and submissive binary model. Marriage only facilitates monogamy between one man and one woman, and no other norm is accepted as a legitimate marriage. Sexual acts however deemed non-heterosexual, of which Ephyra does have a concept, are entirely varied in their reception depending on who has done what.

Addressing male acts, there is no social stigma for any man who opts to utilise another male for his own pleasure, assuming of course he is not acting in a manner deemed offensive to the morals of the Freehold on grounds such as sexual restraint or accepted behaviours. The only stigma and shame is for the men who take the passive role, and who use their bodies for the pleasure of other men. This act of physical subservience to the desires of another man is considered wholly repulsive, and is an act that destroys the image of a man's virtue and masculinity. In some cases, it can even lead to a declaration of infamy, removing certain liberties and rights from an individual, assuming they are citizen.

If exposed as being a passive, a man who offers himself to other men, he also faces the social repercussions of essentially being disowned from his family, any woman currently in social contract to becoming his wife is immediately liberated from having to follow through, any woman he already calls his wife has pretext for divorce (with full recovery of dowry), and the man is considered shamed to his family, nation, and gods. These social repercussions don't apply in the same strength for men raped, which due to the power perceptions of homosexual activity, can occur at a rate fluctuating between not as common and more common than rape against women. However, it's not unheard of for divorces to occur following such acts, as a key element of virtue for man is to be capable of providing and protecting his family. Though seemingly harsh, a number of women have presented the difficult to refute case of how her protection is guaranteed by him if he fails to protect himself. Unlike willing submission however, this will not destroy his reputation.

Because of the major social risks involved, the majority of citizen men who wish to engage in homosexual acts typically use slaves or non-citizens to accomplish this. It should be added however that the men in question are only held in esteem so long as they act in no manner deemed exposing a lack of self-control, or exposing a complete lack of interest in women. In the former case, men are simply looked down upon as being ineffectual, whilst in the latter, they are deemed strange and again ineffectual, as lack of any attraction to women makes family-building impossible.

For women, it is much safer and without issue. It is not accepted that two women can actually engage in sex, only sexual acts, which essentially negates any perception of dominance and submission. Therefore, whilst men who occupy the female position in sex with a man are looked down upon and scorned, it isn't possible for a woman to occupy the male position naturally.

Bisexuality therefore, given the accepted social attraction to both men and women for either sex, but with high emphasis on self-restraint and mindfulness towards the duty of family and monogamy, is not recognised as its own classification in Ephyra. Transgenderism and transsexualism simply are rejected outright. Ephyral believe in non-masculine men, and non-feminine women, but the idea of being able to swap genders or sex, either through biological fact or by choice, is simply insane. There is also no accepted gender-sex association outside of male and female. Typically, anyone claiming to be something they're clearly not is regarded as mentally disturbed.

So in a hypothetical situation, if two men migrated to Ephyra, and were engaged in a homosexual relationship, and they both acquired citizenship, the standing of one or even both of them (depending on if they switch roles) could be outright destroyed by their activities, as well as being shunned for having no mindfulness towards the concept of heterosexual monogamous familial construction.

Full rights since The great Leftist Revolution. So gay couples, Gay marriage, and Gay people can adopt two

[The Great-German Empire]

LGB people are completely recognised in Germany; there is no institutional discrimination against them, bar the fact that same-sex marriages are called Unions (But they still have the same rights within that, being able to adopt and so on).One's sexual orientation is not needed to appear on any government documents. There is still slight distaste for them among religious conservatives and for other ultratraditionalists, but hey, that falls under free speech, if anything.

With transgender people it's a bit different; Their treatment varies by state, with Rhinelanders being way more accepting of them than, say Prussians or Bavarians. Nationally, one's birth sex must appear on their documentation, and no exemptions have yet been made. On the medical and institutional level, they are considered to have 'gender dysphoria' - a mental disorder with no adult cure other than transition (which has not been perfected), but possible to mitigate in minors by fixing their hormone levels. In short, we are not medically advanced enough (Just like the real, OOC 2018 world) to fully deal with transgender individuals.

Genders other than male and female are not recognised, because mainstream psychology in our timeline recognises that while gender and sex aren't the same thing, they have a heavy causal relation that does not allow for a gender to exist that is not backed by one of the two sexes.

[Yohannes]

Those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) have the same rights like any other imperial citizen of the nineteen countries. LGBT rights are protected by increasingly focused legislation since the late sixties, with the Gender, LGBT, Racial and Religious Minority Act 2016 being the latest to be passed by an executive council in the continent of Yohannes.

[Tierra Fuego]

Same sex marriage is not permitted because the catholic church controls that matter entirely, but we do not legally prohibit same-sex relationships or union. When transgendered people identify themselves they are permitted, but binary social structures are not so widespread as you'd expect, there is little consumer culture here. Violence against LGBT people is not treated differently than other intentional violence.

[Gandoor]

Sexual activity between two individuals of the same sex was formally made legal in 1919, although the law prohibiting it (which predated the establishment of the Democratic Republic in 1904) had been rarely enforced since the 1870's.

Since 1970, the age of consent has been set at 15 years of age, regardless of the genders or sexual orientations of those involved in sexual acts.

Same-sex couples were first formally recognized with the passage of the 'Same-Sex Partnership Act 1975', giving same-sex couples some rights identical to that of marriage. This act would lead to the permission of stepchild adoption by same-sex couples in 1977 and then joint adoption in 1979.

Same-sex marriage was made legal in 1988 following a decision by the High Court who ruled that prohibiting same-sex marriage was unconstitutional due to the fact that the definition of 'marriage' in the Gandoorese constitution does not make any mention to the gender of those involved, it only defines it as 'a consenting union between any two persons of legal age'.

The percentage of Gandoorese citizens that is LGBT is unknown, as we do not officially keep track, but it is estimated at anywhere from 5 to 8% of the population, based upon informal polls and surveys.

[Coconut Palm Island]

Being a relatively young nation, LGBT rights have always been granted to our citizens. Our Constitution mandates that people be treated equally and that marriage not be regulated by the government so long as it is between two consenting adults. Although it doesn't specifically mention LGBT rights, the King, Senate, and Royal Court have all decided that LGBT individuals have the right to marry as they want without interference.

The issue of workplace discrimination against LGBT people was harder. In 1982, the Royal Court allowed a religious charity to fire a bisexual individual. However, in 1990, that decision was reversed. Since than, the Senate has created laws to penalize businesses who in any way discriminate against LGBT people.

Transgender individuals can also change their government ID gender/name relatively easily, as most IDs are electronic, on citizen's phones or smartwatches.

The only problem remaining is the hate speech that sometimes occurs against LGBT people. Of course, freedom of speech is very important, and we can't stop anyone from speaking out against homosexuality. However, if it happens in the workplace, businesses are mandated to deal with it. Schools also have an anti-hate policy. And, if someone attacks an LGBT person based on their sexuality or gender identity, it is a hate crime.

Our government's motto is "Here to help, not to judge." We try to live according to that.

[Khataiy]

Homosexuality is illegal

[Irou]

As a part of the Embryonic Selection Corporation Treaty embryos that have homosexual genes are removed and burnt, while homosexuals who deelop it in the womb are allowed to be born and get married, serve in politics, be a member of the Zaibatsu but arent allowed to adopt a male child or serve in the military

[Kyneland]

The Kynelandic govt. has legalised and been in support for LGBT rights since its independence. Members of the community can adopt, marry and have all the rights of heterosexual Kynelanders. There is but one exception.

Only heterosexuals can become King/Queen, as the creation of an heir is required.

[Mangahhan Super Region]

Homosexuality is legal in MSR since June 19 2017

[Larin]

Any form of homosexuallity is strictly forbidden in Larin

[Picentia]

We stop at LGB.
Ts are either reversed or killed with their therapists if it's too late.


Also no marriages or adoptions or anything, though we don't discriminate on employment and partnerships are recognized. And there's no exemption from army service though the policy there is don't ask don't tell.

[Philippinae]

In Philippinae, any form of homosexuality is illegal and punishable by public whipping and reeducation. Repeat offenders are either forced to undergo hormonal treatments and psychotherapy or be enslaved.

[Gospel Power]

Wrong forum

[Stronk Russian States]

LGBT people have had Marriage, Adoption, and Citizenship rights, along with anti-discrimination protections since the end of the Russian Civil war against then president Vladimir Putin. Since Russia became a galactic entity, LGBT rights have extended to all sentient beings living within the confines of the nation.

[Darussalam]

Rather bizarrely for an outwardly laissez-faire polity, rights are rarely brought up in Darussalami political discourse. In part this is because of practical nonexistence of 'political rights' and thus lack of civic society: rights tend to be connoted negatively as status-elevation of group identities, and rights' activism is frowned upon. Instead, residents are trusted with choices delineated by local coordination strategies and profit-maximizing legal system, thereby creating an emergent order.

That said, prohibitions on private activities are rare, as they are considered costly relative to marginal harm upon other individuals. The societal attitude is predominantly conservative and yet mired in apathy, and there is no popular identitarian movement on sexual orientations, although there have been outlier "queer separatist" subcultures. Individual relationships in general are perceived as a private concern in modern cities where most Darussalamis reside. There is minimal demand on discrimination specific for sexual orientation, aside from standard regulations on public behavior, which might be restrictive from foreign perspective. Discrimination is nonetheless legal.

Transgenders are traditionally considered in Darussalam to be the "third sex". This boundary is blurring as other forms of human bodily modifications are gaining traction, but Darussalami culture is still firmly rooted in gender binarism. Identitarian subcultures on this aspect, as usual, belong in the outlier. Sex-reassignment surgery is available in large hospitals.

[South Acren]

Homosexuality has been frowned apon in South Acren since the beginning of the country a couple thousand years ago It wasn't till a "incident" involving a homosexual couple that it was decided, for the best of South Acren and its citizens, to make LGBT marriage or such illegal. The decision to ban it has caused some countries to scorn South Acren but the policy is here to stay. Recently protesters decided to get violent and in doing so got captured and were summarily forced to dig a ditch and then were shot. This caused a new law which states anyone that is LGBT will be rounded up and either deported or, if they are unwilling to cooperate, are sent to a camp and are given the options to be forced to work, shot, or sent to the gladiator areas where they are given a small knife and are forced to fight against lions, wolfs, and and a laser-minigun-wielding Juggernaut. Needless to say, no-one has made it past the wolfs.

[Mzeusia]

LGBT rights have been upheld almost since the beginning of Mzeusia's creation, thousands of years ago. In Mzeusism, the religion of Mzeusia, gods and goddesses cavort with all kinds of people and even animals. This has meant that people take the view that everyone is the same when it comes to rights, whatever their sexual orientation.

[The New California Republic]

LGBT people have the same rights and privileges as other citizens.
