Her Excellency Prime Minister Destiny Elmo Delivers Address on GLBT Rights.


 * The following address was given before the Starland Senate at 6:00pm (SST)

Good evening my fellow Starlanders, members of the Senate, and micronationalists everywhere.

Last week, our government fought hard to pass three new pieces of legislation to our constitution. We now have made it possible for people with disabilities to serve in our military, to vote, and much more. We have made it possible for women to make their own decisions over their children. But above all, we have made it possible for gay, lesbian, transgenders, and bisexuals to serve openly in the military and get married under the law of our glorious constitution.

No longer will our nation stand idly by while our people suffer the injustices and bigotry of the government of Starland or any other government on earth. Today, every Starlander, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, nationality, etcetera, are equal and have equal rights. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender people much to the ignorance and bigotry of some do not choose to be that way, they are born with it. It is a feeling; a true, emotional feeling that they feel. They cannot help who they are and they should not be looked down upon, because they are no different than the rest of us. Many know already, and for those that don't, the truth shall be known tonight, that I myself am bisexual. My family was very supportive and so were my friends. This was a decision that seemed hard at first, but left me relieved when it was out. That is why I support this legislation and have pushed for its passing.

Close sources have informed me that King Anthony of the Kingdom of Zealandia has recently come out as a bisexual. I want His Majesty to know that I admire his honesty and courageous decision and hereby award him the Order of the Star, our highest honor.

Times have changed. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals are becoming more accepted in today's society. The homophobia is coming to an end and if our world is to become truely democratic and acceptant then this must become true. Equal rights for all individuals must be passed. I urge all nations, macronational and micronational to pass legislation giving equal rights to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals. This we must do, this we can do, and this we will do. I also encourage all people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, to come out and be open with yourself and our community.

Thank you and good night!
