Defining the full-spectrum of gender and sexuality combinatorics under a single term that is simple and easily used in future legislation seems like a prudent bit of clerical work. There is a blanket non-discrimination clause in the constitution, but that doesn't cover the future needs of specific groups, nor future-proof legislation regarding them, in the same way that formally adopting language such as SAGE does.

This is a provocative petition, attracting attention to a group of people united by sexual fantasies and preferences. This post fuels interpersonal enmity, it is also an attempt by a certain group of people to declare that they are better than another group of people and an attempt to groundlessly gain privileges. it is unconstitutional, it is destructive. we are all equal in the constitution and do not see any sense in discussing this topic.

As a transgender person I don't really understand WHY you are proposing this. LGBT associations in most countries fight for rights that are often ignored as well as to stop harassment towards LGBT people. Asgardia takes us all AS EQUALS, so we have the equal rights and nobody will ever dare to harass us over our preferences or about who we are. So, why in this space kingdom where we are accepted as we are and taken as part of the whole as we are you want to make a separate group called "S.A.G.E"? You're practically asking that we're excluded again, that we're threated as if we actually needed special rights or as if we where inferior in some way. We're EQUALS, therefore we DON'T NEED ANY SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. I'd personally feel offended if, in Asgardia, suddenly I started to be called a "S.A.G.E", or if Asgardia started to make special laws and considerations for me. More than offended I'd probably feel sad and disappointed, because for me to need special laws and considerations it would mean that Asgardia became tainted with the discriminations and hostilities that exist on earth.

I think this is covered well enough in the constitution. heterosexuality is not directly recognized in our laws either . should there be a petition to protect them as well? no of course not, and that is why this isnt needed either

The constitution already covers gender equality, among others. Add sexual orientation to the list and that should cover it without having to define new terms and acronyms: "All citizens of Asgardia are equal, irrespective of their Earthly country of origin, residence, citizenship, race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, financial standing, or any other attribute."

I think stressing on this fact is what alienates the LGBT...( whatever it is ) community . The constitution explicitly states that all are equal irrespective of all earthly , cultural and biological divisions . We should act as a species and not drag this LGBT matter into the constitution . Else the other "special " communities will also drag their agenda into this fair constitution .

Labels divide people and only serve that purpose. No vote necessary as we are all human beings of equal equality. If you don’t feel equal a vote is not the answer, seeing a psychologist is. All people regardless of age, gender, sex, ethnicity etc. are equal and we should not take labels from what we already see as a flawed Earthbound society to Asgardian. Stop looking down and backwards. Move forward, look up, reach for the stars!

As an MP-Elect and a lesbian I can understand this petition better than most. What originally drew me to Asgardia, was the belief that HATE had to end and Mankind, had to grow up. Equality for all. I didn't join to wave the Rainbow Flag around, but so that one day I could walk down a street holding my girlfriend's hand without fear. Just like any other couple. How wonderful it would be if I could do that and nobody even notice! I can not do that were I live or I might be beaten or killed. The gay bar in in my city, was burned down. I can not marry my girlfriend, even though it is legal to do so in BOTH our states, because her Ex husband has threatened to take away her kids on the grounds that we would not be a fit family to raise children in. So, if I marry the love of my life, then her abusive Ex husband will get the kids. How could I do that to her? That is today, where I live as a lesbian. But I do not want that to be tomorrow in the Nation we are building! I don't want a family Court Judge to decide automatically that the children are better off in a hetro-sexual household, than in a same sex household, due to prejudice! Being in a group that has HATE directed towards it, I do indeed understand the fear and pain of having someone hate you, when you have done nothing at all. I for one, will fight for equal rights for ALL Asgardians! That is why I became an MP-Elect. to protect my rights and to protect your rights. Will you see me waving around a Pride Flag? Most likely not. If I invite my girlfriend to an Asgardian event, would you see me hold her hand or put my arm around her waist? Most differently!

El hecho de que una parte de la comunidad tenga que ser señalada y resaltada por enzima de los demás, ya genera un mensaje de odio y una llamada de atencion muy negativa sobre esta parte de la comunidad y automáticamente lo convierte en una minoría y por lógica ser a señalada como tal, pareciera que con esta petición se estuviese buscando limitar el progreso de una comunidad igualitaria al "sugerir" que se reconozca a alguien entre esta de forma especial. Y denota un complejo de inferioridad en quien lo propone. Una humanidad; Una unidad. Eso lo resume todo. Si tiene que señalar que el grupo A es igual al grupo B, entonces no son iguales. Saludos. :)

I think it's a bad idea and the beginning of a slippery slope. No need for specific recognition since we are all equal under the ASGARDIA constitution. Once specific recognition is allowed, then specific privileges and treatment will eventually be requested. The passage of this petition will cause dissension among Asgardian citizens on some level. We, the citizens of ASGARDIA, should view ourselves as a collective. As Asgardians. I know we're human beings with instincts we can't ignore but we must learn to control them. After all, that is the true meaning of being civilized right? Keep subjects, like sexuality, private not policy for our government to ponder. Citizens of ASGARDIA, we must let go of the systems and the way of doing things we have been taught on Earth. Think about it. If you ever watched Star Trek, you will notice that you have different races, even aliens, on board this space ship. You never see any open religious practices. Everything that is personal is expressed privately in your own living quarters. Watch Star Trek sometimes. That's where we're headed.

I strongly disagree. We are already equal. This sets the precedent that only sage members are exclusive and or separate. We can not and must not have one group raised above, or separated from, the others.

Я против, в Асгарде все равны, но вы хотите больше прав и особое отношение а это уже попахивает расизмом. Scuro Megan Acheson я предупреждаю вас не пытайтесь пропихнуть что-то что даст вам больше прав чем другим Асгарцем. Если вам нравятся женщины (не кого не хочу обидеть), то это не значит что вы особенная.
