The National Front for Queer Liberation (NFQL) is a non-governmental charitable organization dedicated to the advocacy, education, and support of LGBT rights in Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia. Founded in 1657 AN, the organization strives to promote a society that accepts sexual and gender diversity without exception.
History
The NFQL was formed in response to a growing need for a unified voice for the LGBT community in Nouvelle Alexandrie. Since its inception, it has played a crucial role in numerous legislative reforms, awareness campaigns, and educational programs.

The organization was founded by a group of LGBT activists and allies, led by Natasha Almodovar, who remains its President. The founding principles were built around acceptance, equality, and the promotion of understanding for the diverse spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities.
