i'm so sorry for fostering another draft on you
Title: Rainbow Disconnections
Validity: For nations with the “No Homosexuality” policy.
Description: It's election year in Brancaland, a country which has a significant amount of trade with @@NAME@@. The liberal incumbent President there once made a promise to support rights for homosexuals abroad, and as @@HE@@ scrambles to secure a second term, @@HIS@@ administration has threatened sanctions on @@NAME@@, due to your laws against homosexuality.
Option 1: The confidently smirking ambassador of Brancaland, @@RANDOMNAME_1@@, enters the room. “Look, @@LEADER@@, Brancaland doesn't want a trade war. It doesn't have to be a huge problem if @@NAME@@ slackens off the enforcement of your anti-gay laws, perhaps lighten up the punishments a bit. Then all this unnecessary economic damage wont happen.” @@SHE@@ smiles at you, but it doesn't reach @@HER@@ eyes.
Effect 1: @@NAME@@ seems to be chasing the gold at the end of the rainbow
Option 2: “Well,” replies @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, a former police officer and your advisor, “homosexuals are breaking the law. Just because Brancaland is threatening sanctions doesn't mean we should compromise the integrity of our laws. I don't see the need to make a public stance, however. Why don't we create a Queer Liason, someone who can 'work for the gay community of @@NAME@@' and pretend that we are taking steps on this issue? The position will be totally toothless, of course, but the President doesn't know that.”
Effect 2: the governments weapons are a hug and a gun
Option 3: Your poor door is practically kicked down by the entourage of the extremely popular and extremely anti-queer personality Neven Powder. He gestures for the others to leave angrily, and then turns that furious gaze on you. “@@LEADER@@, you can’t allow this foreign subversion!” he bellows. “Our culture is being destroyed by the enemy within and without, and that enemy is the homosexuals and their supporters. They are unnatural degenerates and giving in and allowing them to influence the decisions of this country is the first step on the staircase of destruction. Cut off all diplomatic relations with those nations that permit homosexuality, and don’t allow homosexual-approving nations to trade with us at all!”
Effect 3: @@NAME@@ stays shut in the international closet
