BrentB Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Do you think we could pull this off? Where could you see this country being founded one day? I understand that this idea has been discussed numerous times & declared unfeasible, for the most part, but honestly, f**k that. It's not enough that we're relegated to urban areas in western countries, or blue states, in general (for those in the US). We need our OWN peace of land that we can claim ourselves on this planet tbh. Most people can say that they have a nation they can go back to & rebuild, or just visit. But, for a lot of us, our home countries doubling down on anti-LGBT legislations recently to "stick it to the oppressive western world gay agenda" & its like you can't rely on where you are really from to respect your rights & guarantee your safety.

LGBT is just a catch-all term that was invented to describe anyone who deviates from sexual norms. It’s not a shared ethnicity, culture, heritage, belief system etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would everyone just move to a random country and kick out the local population? There's no way your plan wouldn't end in settler colonialism. EDIT: It would also completely deplete the queer movement everywhere. Queer people packing up their bags and moving to "LGBT-land" doesn't mean future queer people are gonna stop being born in "straight" countries. What's gonna happen to them if one side stops pushing and homophobes have free reign to do whatever they want? Queer kids will have no community to support them, no representation to identify with, no leaders to look up to.

Boysdontcry Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I do wonder what my life would be like if I lived in a more LGBT-friendly community. I'm only from South London & the homophobia, transphobia etc. is bad enough here. So I really do feel for people in worse situations. I know the Caribbean is a really bad place for LGBT people.

ProudLBS Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 The best option would to buy land in some empty desert in Australia or the US. The other countries with lots of empty land are either too cold or too dangerous for LGBT people. We couldn't steal land because the fertility rate of the country would be like 0.2 and therefore we couldn't fight for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spilled tbh But I take it this sort of country's main population demographic would be immigrants from anti-LGBT countries, or just LGBT people who want to be among their own, which I get still could not really sustain a nation's population. But the way I see it, anti-LGBT countries are still always going to produce LGBT people and it's looking like a lot of them might not ever change their stance for a while. So marketing would definitely have to play a MAJOR role in bringing in LGBT people to sustaining this country's population. And if this country were to ever be established, then we would have to have the BEST security & military defence system in the world. Or we'd be naturally screwed I have thought of anti-LGBT countries, or terrorists groups, who'd inevitably feel froggy & want to nuke this hypothetical country. But if such a country is already within a country, or close enough to somewhere like the U.S, then, I'd hope maybe some protection could be afforded in that way.

Subzero Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 At first thought my brain imagined a place that's only lgbt people and thought how it would be like that episode of Fairly Odd parents where everyone is the same gray blob except in rainbow form that would be terrible But a place where it is undoubtedly LGBT friendly & accepting and everyone excepts everyone as they are (straight people included) or they can go live elsewhere if they dont like it, sure that would be nice but its very unrealistic. It sounds nice in theory, which is all it could probably ever be. Hateful people will always exist and if they're packed together from us they'd definitely try to attack us and take us out since we'd all be in one place together making it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
