Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights in Alsland are among the most progressive in the world. Same-sexual activity first was legalised in 1797 before it was re-criminalised in 1802. In 1920 after Alsland gained independence it re-introduced sodomy laws. Same-sexual activity was legalised again in 1972 as a result of the Metyller Scandal. Alslandic views on same-sex relationships quickly liberalised and homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness in 1975. Alsland became one of the first countries to begin preforming civil unions in 1996. Same-sex marriages were legalised via referendum in 2007. The Alslandic constitution was amended in 2013 to ban discrimination on account of sexual orientation. Same-sex couples have had the same adoption rights as opposite-sex couples since 1996.
Alsland has a large and vibrant LGBT community, the country was rated as one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in the world in 2020 with polls showing 90% of Alslanders supported same-sex marriage. Minister-President of the Swathish Community Oslaf Ḷafvardiġe is the country's first openly transgender man Head of Government after he transitioned in 2017. The leader of the Orange Party Elsert Wassenaar is openly gay and is the first openly gay leader of a political party in the country.
