== LGBT Culture == | |||
Fhainnin culture in regards to homosexual and related subcultures and sexual liberation is a mix of anachronistic and modernist influences. Legally, the state recognizes three categories for sex (male, female, other), with the third category originally introduced for intersex individuals for use in making medical and legal paperwork consistent. Some niche Pagan rites maintain non-gendered or transitory sex identities, but these are not recognized by this system. There is no legal distinction between sex and gender, and gender theory is considered an imported fringe ideology. This often takes the form of nationalist claims that more complex gender theory and open pride movements are foreign subterfuge, primarily by the [[Christian Minimalist Party (Faneria)|Christian Minimalist]] and the [[National Party (Faneria)|National]] Parties, with some members of the Starkist wing of the [[Republican Party (Faneria)|Republican Party]] supporting religious opposition to LGBT rights and representation in media. Most importantly, Fhasen-speaking peoples simply refer to the LGBT community as S''aoradhann'', or 'unbounded/liberated ones' (the specific implication being context-dependent) rather than distinguishing between | |||
Gay culture is Faneria is more conservative than in other areas, with a social emphasis on not appearing abnormal. This is largely the result of the 'Normalization Movement' invented by gay musician Gale MacAndry in the 1990s as an effort to normalize homosexuality in public life. While marriage in the legal sense in Faneria was never formally restricted to man and woman, as it was merely a civil status that could be conferred from a religious marriage or simply filing, gay couples found it difficult to receive civil union certification due to discriminatory practices by individual bureaucrats. The Normalization Movement speaks out against egregious displays of erotic dress, kinkwear, and other tropes associated with gay sexuality in public life, portraying gays and lesbians in regular dress. While aided by the lack of a 'gay accent' in Fhasen, the Movement is a source of contention among the LGBT community in Faneria as it is considered by some to be a state-supported suppression of countercultural forces. | |||
While the government has effectively reigned in LGBT-related discrimination in Faneria, its moralizing approach has lead to it both portraying itself as a paternalistic protector of such communities while simultaneously leaving integration of LGBT norms into society largely up to the bureaucratic process. This has lead to intense debate on the toleration of transgendered persons' sex categorization for legal purposes, with the status quo of genital configuration being challenged by lobbies for changes to either a genetics-based categorization or an appearance-based categorization with leeway for ambiguous persons. | |||
