LGBTQ+ Discrimination
Signs of LGBTQ+ Discrimination
- Derogatory language
- Death threats
- Hate Speech
- Homophobic or Transphobic remarks
- Use of Negative stereotypes
- Suggestions of conversion therapy or camps
These experiences make it difficult for LGBTQ+ players in our community, who often are in the midst of processing their identities, lack support in real life, and encounter discrimination and abuse in their everyday lives. This leads to a higher likelihood of emotional distress such as depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts.
As a community we need to stand together and support the LGBTQ+ player base in NationStates. We need to take a stand against LGBTQ+ discrimination in our community. To the LGBTQ+ players, NationStates is a safe place for you to discover your identity. We are here for you, and we will support you. If you ever need to talk feel free to contact any of our representatives.
