LGBT rights in Nova Caradia

As part of its commitment to anti-discrimination in general, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights are protected in Nova Caradia. While these rights were generally existent (though not officially protected) under the law of the old Duchy, the republic's stance is much more affirmative, especially with the first president of the republic, Pândi Procescu, being bisexual.

The general opinion of the populace of the republic is indifference, and thus tolerance, toward the sexuality and gender identity of others.
