The center-left Democratic Party lifted a ban on same-sex sexual activity in 1995, two years after securing the presidency. Referenda to legalize same-sex civil unions lost by large margins in 2001 and 2013. Individuals are allowed to change their gender on public records only after undergoing sex reassignment surgery. | |||||||

FSR allowed civil unions in the joint CNCS "Act on personal liberties", but it is widely believed by civil rights watchdogs that the Federation prevents LGBT couples from even obtaining the license needed to get a civil union. Openly LGBT individuals are often arrested or harassed by state security troops and police, according to independent civil rights groups inside the Federation. | |||||||

The Allied Nations experienced several booms in progressive reform in the latter part of the 20th century. The removal of the church as the central tenet of the community (as it had been in the Colonial Era) assisted to these ends. | |||||||

Same-sex sexual activity was only decriminalized in 2003, though the law was inconsistently enforced until then. Transgender individuals are allowed to change the sex marked on their Resident ID, but only after undergoing sex reassignment surgery. | |||||||

Following the reestablishment of native religious beliefs following independence as a state religion, acceptance of same sex activity occured under the religious theory that private matters ought remain private so long as they do not harm the idividuals or community. This belief was extended to civil unions by royal decree following a controversy involving members of the royal family. Adoption remains outlawed on the same basis as same sex activity, noteably in the belief that a child is best raised by a father and mother; multiple challenges to this legal stance have been dismissed by the crown and courts citing deference to religous law being most correct. A lawsuit filed in 2006 regarding the ability to freely serve resulted in a royal decree issued to protect against discrimination "in spirit of the court" which was further codified by the passage of both anti-LGBT discrimation law and protection, if not wide acceptance, of various gender identities. | |||||||

Although same-sex activity is formally punishable by death, since 1999 the punishment has never been higher than 10 years' jail time. Enforcement is less regular than in neighboring Ummayah. | |||||||

In 780, a local magistrate found a marriage contract concluded between two females (via their families who mistook each other's daughters for sons) to be valid and in force; in 1970, a court cited this as a valid precedent and refused to annul a marriage between two women upon petition by their parents; this principle extended to males in 1972 on grounds of equality between the sexes. | |||||||

Ummayah's theocratic government enforces a number of strict policies against LGBT individuals. Same-sex sexual activity is punishable by execution by stoning, and punishments for homosexual kissing or touching in public are six times those for heterosexual kissing or touching. These laws are regularly enforced by public morality police. | |||||||

Verpletterant has always been somewhat on the liberal side in terms of sexuality and same-sex marriages. Prior to 1911 the practice of same-sex relationships or marriages wasn't illegal, merely considered part of the norm. With the passage of a series of laws regarding discrimination and the rights of citizens the ability for a citizen to freely marry or spend time with someone of the same gender was enshrined. Peculiarly, the country refuses to recognize gender identity, and laws from the 50s remain in effect. The nations chief executive, Marietta Kruger is herself married to a partner of the same-sex. | |||||||

Vihoslavia recognized civil unions as legitimate in 2000, but LGBT couples are not allowed to be married. | |||||||

Yugoslovenski's rapid liberalisation resulted in a series of pro-gay rights within the country, which were accepted but still controversial. The nation's government is still openly hostile to transgender individuals. |
