Commend Gay
Category: Commendation | Nominee: Gay
Proposed by: Cormactopia Prime | Onsite Topic​

The Security Council:

Recognizing Gay as the largest and oldest extant region that offers a home and safe haven explicitly for LGBTQ+ people, and which has tirelessly advocated for the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and for LGBTQ+ rights;

Acknowledging that, like most communities, Gay has had to constantly work toward greater inclusivity and intersectionality, having once limited involvement in the community and government of the region based on military alignment;

Applauding Gay's recent decision to constitutionally mandate the region's military neutrality, to explicitly reject discrimination based on military alignment, and to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people can participate in the regional community and government regardless of alignment;

Celebrating Gay's history of LGBTQ+ advocacy, dating back to regional support for NSUN Resolution #12, entitled "Gay Rights," among the earliest international legislation to address the rights of LGBTQ+ people;

Praising Gay's commitment to opposing intolerance and bigotry against LGBTQ+ people not only by condemning such behavior, but also by offering educational resources to encourage greater understanding of LGBTQ+ people and the issues they face;

Honoring Gay's history as a defender region and the region's participation in the defense of vulnerable regions against unjust invasion as a member region of the now-defunct Founderless Regions Alliance;

Lauding Gay for remaining committed to the protection of LGBTQ+ related regions and, according to Gay's regional constitution, continuing to take "an active interest in their well-being and continued flourishing";

Congratulating Gay for its storied history as the premier LGBTQ+ region in the world, and for remaining committed to progressive reform and growth so that it may better fulfill its mission to promote LGBTQ+ acceptance and the rights of LGBTQ+ people;

Hereby Commends Gay.

I'm pretty sure such a motion to commend would not speak for the entirety of the WA. There are some nations who do not hold to value systems that would incline them to commend the LGBTQ movement. This does not mean that the WA should allow atrocities against homosexual persons. However, the societal movement that is the LGBTQ movement is not commendable by all people nor should all WA nations be expected to do so.

That’s a bit of a stretch. Commendations don’t force you or other disapproving people to approve of this community. Vote no if you want, this commendation’s passage doesn’t force anything on you, and the fact this isn’t 100% demonstrates your point that not everyone agrees (though some will have other reasons for opposing different from yours). I think you’re confusing the SC for the GA.

Speaking of those other reasons, information has come to light that indicates some disturbing behavior and actions taken by Gay that call into question their status as champions of understanding and tolerance in general. Perhaps they are good on LGBTQ+ rights but they seem to have more blind spots that have to be addressed aside from gameplay.
