LGBT Party

The LGBT Party is a political party in Jelbania advocating LGBT rights and Queer nationalism.

History
The LGBT faces years of confrontation from successive Jelbanian governments and the majority of the general public before they could establish their own political party.

Foundation
The LGBT Party was founded in June 3311.

Ideology
Although the major focus of the LGBT Party is LGBT rights, the party is not a single-issue organisation.

LGBT rights
The primary focus of the LGBT Party is to secure rights for sexual minorities. These include:
 * The right for sexual minorities to serve, and to serve openly in the military
 * The right for sexual minorities, whether married or single, to adopt children
 * The right to crossdress
 * The right for all consenting adults to obtain civil marriage contracts
 * The right to have sexual relations of all types for legal for consenting adults

Queer nationalism
Queer nationalism refers to the view that the LGBT community forms a distinct people and identity due to distinct culture and customs. The LGBT Party believes that homophobia and sexual discrimination in successive Jelbanian governments and in Jelbanian culture has created a desire to separate from the hostile heterosexual majority. The LGBT argues for a nation-state for sexual minorities.

Queer nation
The party's ultimate aim is to create an exclusively queer nation. The term 'queer narion' refers to a region or nation based on LGBT culture and populated exclusively by sexual minorities. To achieve this, the party aims to either make one of Jelbania's five regions an exclusively queer nation, or to establish Jelbania in its entirety as a queer nation.

On mainstream issues
The LGBT Party, in order to establish itself as a mainstream party attractive to the general public, offers policies on a variety of issues other than LGBT rights.

Centralisation
The party believes in a strong central government in order to protect the rights of minorities.

Civil rights
Maximum civil liberties are advocated by the LGBT Party which describes itself as 'revolutionary liberal'.

Ecology
The LGBT Party is strongly supportive of the green movement.
