LGBT rights in Al-Khilafah
LGBT rights in Al-Khilafah Rasullalah are a contentious topic and one on which the laws vary by jurisdiction.
| Status | varies by jurisdiction |
|---|---|
| Gender identity | sex-reassignment surgery required (except in Pakistan and Bangladesh where it is not required), this is paid for by the government |
| Military | LGBT people allowed to serve openly |
| Discrimination protections | sexual orientation and gender identity protections |
| Family rights | |
| Recognition of relationships | same-sex marriage varies by jurisdiction |
| Adoption | only allowed in Bosnia and Herzegovina |
History
When Al-Khilafah Rasullalah was established it was agreed that the legality of same-sex marriage would be a state's rights issue. Due to a federal ban on pre-marital and extra-marital sex being agreed, this effectively meant that the legality of homosexuality would itself be a state's rights issue.
As a result of the Chief Qadi's ruling in Bašić V. Sultanate of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was legalised in Bosnia Herzegovina, for same-sex couples to adopt children.
By jurisdiction
In The Kingdom of Jordan, the Emirate of Lebanon and the Sultanate of Bosnia and Herzegovina, same-sex marriage is legal regardless of which sex the couple are. In the Emirate of Kuwait, same-sex marriage is only legal for women.
Sex reassignment surgery is required to change one's legal gender except in the Sultanates of Pakistan and Bangladesh where it is permitted regardless of sex assignment surgery.
Military service
Currently all branches of the uniformed services allow openly LGBT people to serve.
Bisexuals in heterosexual relations could serve in the Army of Al-Khilafah from it's establishment, however, they couldn't serve in the Naval Force until 2114 and men with exclusively or primarily homosexual attractions couldn't serve openly until the following year.
Brigadier Abdulaziz Haddad ,of Al-Khilfah Air Cavalry Cyber Reserve, openly has "bisexual inclinations". There are also a number of female bisexual or lesbian Brigadiers and Commodores.
The highest ranking homosexual officer is Major-General Hurrriyah Burkhanov of the Uzbek Logistics Division.
Just as heterosexual men are separated from women on submarines, LGBT personnel are also separated for the same reason.
Stances of political parties
the Liberal Party wants to legalise gay marriage nationwide whilst the Taliban and Muslim Brotherhood support a nationwide ban on homosexuality.
The Traditionalist Party supports it remaining a state's rights issue.
