| abstract
| - Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual rights (LGBT) in Sierra have gradually evolved through the course of Sierran history. Up until 1946, sodomy laws throughout the nation made same-sex sexual activity a punishable crime. The landmark Supreme Court case Brooks v. Maricopa struck down Maricopa's sodomy law and the rest of the provinces' throughout the Kingdom, holding that such laws violated the privacy and liberty of consenting adults under Article IX. In the Deseret, the case does not apply although in 2002, same-sex activity was decriminalized independently by the government. As of 2015, 13 of the 22 Sierran provinces, all 8 Hawaiian states, and none of the 5 Deseretan areas recognize and permit same-sex marriages. Like marriage, LGBT rights pertaining to family rights and anti-discriminatory protections vary among the PSAs. Sixteen provinces in Sierra and all states in Hawaii outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, and thirteen provinces plus Hawaii outlaw discrimination based on gender identity or expression. The age of consent in each jurisdiction varies from 15 to 18, and all ages of consent must be the same for both sexes and same-sex/opposite-sex relations per the Brooks v. Maricopa ruling. Adoption by same-sex married couples is legal in all of the provinces where same-sex marriage is recognized. In addition, hate crimes based on sexual orientation and identity is a punishable federal offense. However, hate speech laws in general, including those on sexual orientation and identity, are non-existent in all jurisdictions, and virtually all measures to draft such legislation have been defeated. Twelve provinces and eight states permit individuals to legally change their sex, and of the twenty PSAs, twelve (East Leewards, Hawaii, Honolulu, Gold Coast, Kauai, Kamehameha, Maui, San Francisco, Oahu, Santa Clara, Shasta, West Leewards) do not require sexual reassignment surgery in order to change legal sex. All jurisdictions in the Kingdom including the federal government recognize only the two biological sexes: male and female although limited protections and rights for non-binary transgender individuals exist in some provinces and states. LGBT rights have been supported by various organizations and individuals in Sierra, including the Sierran Civil Liberties Union (SCLU), the Forum of Lesbians and Gays (FLAG), the Democratic-Republican Party of Sierra, and the Libertarian Party of Sierra. In the Deseret, the Love is Free campaign has been the primary LGBT advocacy and pressure group, seeking to change church policy on its views on the LGBT community, and separating the Church from the state. In addition, some of Sierra's largest cities and communities, Porciúncula and San Francisco City, have been declared as one of the world's most gay-friendly cities. In a 2016 poll, the survey indicated that about 68% of Sierrans were in support of same-sex marriage, up from just 35% in 2004.
