Greetings to All !!
NOTE: This topic has been known to be a bit "uncomfortable"
for some people's thought processes; however, it is well worth
presenting to those who have a more "open-mind" towards
issues which are not so traditionally accepted and respected.
The subject of homophobia ( and related issues ) has
been cussed and discussed several times; and in many
different manners, and various degrees of personal,
politcal, and professional fashions.
( i.e. micro laws, rights, etc.... )
However...this time, I wish to add a twist to this topic;
by introducing into the mix of ideas, the question as to
whether or not there are any "out-of-closet" homosexuals
either governing a micronation; or else who have been,
or who are currently, in a position of some authority within a MicroGovt. ( ?? )
To those MicroGovts that have in the past, expressed their
facts that there is no discrimination against any homosexual
allowed within their borders; have those same MicroGovts
embraced any homosexual's interest to serve in an official
capacity ?? ( i.e. "practice what one preaches" ) ;D
( i.e. "put one's money where one's mouth is" ) ;D
As most of you are already well aware, one of our GrandSons
is an "openly" gay man; which use to be kept quiet, but has
long since been accepted and respected within the Imperial
Family and Government. ( the stigma grew stagnant )
I must admit, that in the very beginning of this "Family"
ordeal, I was somewhat relunctant to embrace the idea;
however, as time seems to cure all things, time eventually
eroded and erased any and all ill-will that I personally had
against the notion of an "alternate" lifestyle residing within
the borders of the Imperium's "Dream".
It is now common knowledge within the Imperial Family and
Government, that there are several homosexuals working
within the Imperium's commercial and agricultural interest;
with an *estimated* number of others, who prefer to keep
their personal lifestyle less-than-public ( private ).
A few of these individuals are charged with responsibility
and authority, and are dedicated and devoted Citizens
and Subjects; not that I expected otherwise, merely
expressing a fact that within the Imperium, individuals
who live an "alternate" lifestyle are not only *protected*
under the Imperium's "Laws of the Lands", but are also
*invested* within the Imperium's central authority, and have
a vested interest in the proceeds of everyone's labor.

Once upon a time, there was an active and open homosexual
micro-leader over at the Open MicroForum, who assumed dual
titles within his / her domain;and those of you who are members
over at the Open MicroForum probably remember him / her.
Also.......
There is a *Gay Nation* located somewhere near Australia I believe;
however, I can not recall all of the details regarding this experiment
in micronationalism.
( I found it to be a very interesting concept / venture )
( not sure if it still exist or not / ?? )
