LGBT rights in Barbary

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights have played an important role in the history of the Barbarian Republic. The city of Arvidsudde has been known as the city that allowed the gay couple Nathan Waffel-Paine and Elijah Ayreon to adopt their son Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion. The Barbarian Republic does not discriminate against homosexuality. Communities of queer people exist throughout the republic, but most visible are those in Arvidsudde and Odenshamnen. Discrimination towards gay people by backward ethnic Batavians poses a real problem in the northern regions and has not been fully eradicated, despite police crackdowns.
