[Lenapia]

We must inquire, does the clause stipulating freedom of sexual preferences require that a member-state permit homosexual marriages, or merely the relationships?

Marriages unless your state lacks Marriage.

[Crystal Spires]

Also that they don't target hurt or otherwise harm gays, lesbians, and transgender peoples.

[Walrusfolk Eurarcta]

Freedom of Walrusfolk is not covered, should I be concerned? =|:}P

Add in our peoples as a "protected" species and we may be interested in joinin'.

They're covered in Beastling which covers sapient animals, and if they're anthropomorphic mixes they're covered under demi-human.

[Lenapia]

Marriages unless your state lacks Marriage.

I see. The statement from Crystal Spires is as it should be, and was expected, but this may be too much. Would observer's status be possible?

While the Dracorian government supports full rights for all citizens, economic freedoms and the right to defensive armaments are curiously absent. As such, we will observe from a distance and wish you well.
