LGBT Rights in Mikenstein

LGBT Protection Legislation
Four successive acts passed by the State Council have enhanced protection for LGBT citizens in Mikenstein.

1974
The Homosexual Equality Act legalised same-sex sexual activity and equalised the age of consent. It also allowed LGB citizens to serve in the Defence Force.

1997
The Unions Equality Act legalised same-sex unions, but these had less than half of the legal rights of marriage.

2001
The Equal Rights Act provided anti-discrimination legislation in the workplace, as well as the right to change gender and for transgender people to serve in the Defence Force and also allowed IVF access to lesbian couples.

2016
The Equality for All Act legalised equal marriage in the nation, anti-discrimination laws in all areas, including hate speach, same-sex adtoption and the right for gay men to donate blood. This was hailed as a milestone act, by both citizens of Mikenstein and the International community, especially by New Duveland and Teiko.
