Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual rights are widely respected in Senya. Same-sex marriage is legal and many laws exist to protect the rights of LGBT people in Senya. Unlike other nations, however, gay culture is not openly visible in Senya, with sexuality viewed as a private matter. it is estimated that LGBT people represent between 5–10% of the Senyan population. According to a 2019 poll, 58% of Senyan women and 21% of Senyan men under the age of 30 reported having "an interest in bisexual experimentation".
LGBT identity
Unlike in some other nations, LGBT people in Senya do not have a strong sense of identity towards their sexuality. This is largely due to an emphasis on national identity and Senyan cultural values, which emphasises that identity should not be drawn from things that one has no choice over. Despite this, LGBT people enjoy protection under the law, with conversion therapy illegal, whilst there are many legal protections in place to prevent the mis-and-unequal treatment of homosexuals under the law.
Neither sex nor sexuality are seen as taboo topics in Senyan culture, though they are seen as a private matter. As such, children in schools are taught about homosexual relationships and sex as part of their Citizenship and Sex Education classes and it is common for friends to discuss and talk about their sexuality with one another. However, homosexual and heterosexual relationships and behaviour are neither positively or negatively within the public consciousness, with both being seen as aspects of human sexuality that are normal.
