Historically, homosexual activity has been illegal in the Kingdom of Samatiya and often was punished brutaly and although homosexuality has not been a part of the reformed laws, it has also never been specifically legalized. The freedom of speech and expression is guaranteed to anyone who is in Biladia with the only exception being prisoners, thus, homosexuals are not excluded from it. However, they must face the consequences of their speech/expression which they are not protected from. Such consequences can include being ostracized by their environment. The military does not care about sexual orientation nor does it factor it into any decision making process which means that serving in the military — or the respective civil serving — is more of a duty than a right to everyone — including homosexuals. Discriminatory speech and hiring practices are not only considered a right under the Constitutional Article of Individual Liberty, but are also very widespread. In many cases, a comming out can mean losing one's job. There is no legal recognition of same-sex relationships. By the Samatiyan Constitution, marriage is defined as «[…] [a] relationship […] between one male of marriageable age and one female of marriageable age […]», thus not accepting same-sex marriages as such. Abandoned children may only be adopted by a married couple. The reason why this automatically disqualifies same-sex relationships is explained under «same-sex marriage» Gender is not recognized as a concept, only biological sex. However, gender-reassignment surgery stays outlawed in Biladia.

Article 1 of the Brillian constitution prevents discrimination against all people. However, social attitudes to LGBT people are still mostly negative. The Brillian constitution's 16th article defines marriage as "an union of two people of at least 20 years of age, each of the opposite gender". Civil partnerships are allowed but do not grant the same legal privileges as a full marriage. Brillian law does not allow for the adoption of children by LGBT parents.
