We, Cavirfi, have conducted a survey to measure LGBTQ+ Rights in your nation, through 2 forms (in which you can choose one, the other, or both): A full form and a simplified form.
The full form will require you to answer the questions using words such as: Yes, No, Vaguely, Maybe, It depends, and so on.
The simple form will only require you to tick with an:
"[x]" for Yes
"[O]" for if there is vague language that would de jure make a particular right legal, but de facto make it illegal, and vice versa.
and to leave the "[]" blank if a certain right is illegal.
So anyways here are the forms in question,
