LGBT homelands |
Many micronations have adopted laws regarding those who pursue relations with the same sex or gender. These laws vary greatly by micronation, and in many cases macronational law may interfere with the implementation of these laws.
Same-sex[1] rights have long been debated in the MicroWiki Sector, and many leaders of prominent micronations in this sector are open about their sexualities. The founding of the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands and the signing of the Denton Protocol are some well-known events relating to non-hetero sexualities in micronationalism.
Desired rights and protections
Below is a list of civil rights issues commonly championed by and for same-sex-attracted people, listed loosely in order of priority:
- An end to forced sterilization and forced transition.
- Ability to legally perform same-sex sexual activity (repeal sodomy laws)
- Legal and religious recognition of same-sex relationships (same-sex marriage, civil unions, domestic partnerships, etc)
- The right to conceiveⓘ, adopt, and raise children
- Ability to serve in the military without hiding sexual preferences
- Ability to donate blood as a gay or bisexual male
In addition to the above rights, the following legal protections are also often sought by same-sex-attracted people:
- Banning conversion therapy
- Anti-bullying legislation, to protect queer children at school
- Anti-discrimination laws (such as in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations)
- Hate crime laws, which impose additional criminal penalties for prejudice-motivated crimes against same-sex-attracted people
Legislation by micronation
- Please help move the final column of these tables into the new trans rights in micronations article.
