LGBTQ Rights

This mod adds in three policies and three dilemmas concerning LGBTQ rights. Set policies on same-sex relationships, LGBTQ discrimination and transsexual recognition. Decide whether to allow gays to serve openly in the military, whether to allow same-sex adoption and whether polyamorous marriages should be allowed.

Here are the three policies:

• LGBTQ Discrimination Act - Prevents citizens being discriminated against on the basis of sexuality or gender identity. e.g. being fired for being gay.
  
• Same-Sex Relations Act - Throughout history, same-sex relationships have seen varying levels of acceptance and legality. Supporters of same-sex rights argue that full recognition of same-sex relationships, including marriage, is important for equality and that same-sex relationships are as loving and supportive as heterosexual ones. Critics argue that statistics show that same-sex relationships are less stable and that marriage is about procreation, and some groups argue that same-sex relationships are simply unnatural or immoral. Options range from allowing gay marriage to making all same-sex relationships illegal.
  
• Gender Transition Act - Transsexual people are those whose psychological gender is mismatched with the biological sex they are born with. Many of these people wish to transition into and be recognised as the gender they identify as, and this act governs to what degree the law recognises this. Supporters argue that legally recognised transition is incredibly important for a transsexual person's mental and physical well-being, while some conservatives and religious groups see it as a needless assault on traditional gender roles and societal structures. Options range from making gender transition illegal to legally changing all records of a person's gender.

Oh! And the dilemmas. Will you...

• Allow gay people to serve openly in the military?
  
• Allow same-sex couples to adopt children?
  
• Allow polyamorous groups to get married?
