LGBT rights in Tseng

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) persons in the Tseng Republic face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Since 1996, same-sex activity is legal in Tseng, however they are unable to marry or adopt, and households headed by such couples are ineligible for the same legal protections available to heterosexual couples.

It is not possible to change genders in Tseng.

Pre-1946
It is unknown whether homosexuality was legal and accepted before the first colonizers arrived. Homosexuality was legal in the Ming dynasty, but it was punished by the Qings. As the Europeans arrived, the colonies of Tseng adopted their country's laws. Only French Tseng, Dutch Tseng and later the Talasides legalized homosexuality.

1946-present
In 1946, Pierre Huang-li made same-sex activity punishable by law, the punishment was jail time and ¥100,000. This law wasn't changed until 1996, when president Julius Han made homosexuality legal after a referendum and a vote in the National State Assembly.

Homosexuality was decriminalized in 2005.

There has been many attempts to make same-sex marriage legal, although all have failed. As of 2020, 53% of Tsengians support LGBT rights, 43% do not, and 4% have no opinion.
