The Rejected RealmsBoard

Now, the whole "LGBT" thing. I'm very well acquainted with the LGB part because I'm one of them. I'm not well acquainted with the T part; I don't know what the strict definition of it is if there is one. Then the other letters like QIA, I don't even know. Queer, something, and aromantic?

I live in a country where religion is mandatory and being a gay here is difficult. I have nowhere to go and, in the way of romance, no one to 'flutter the heart of whom'. The same difficulties can be faced by the rest of the LGBT community except the aromantic. The general teaching about LGBT is that it's a sexual abnormality or diversion. Homosexuality here has never been illegal (fun fact: same with North Korea, de jure), but there's a lot of societal stigma, and a very strong one, against LGBT people among the majority where some even say that the LGBTs 'accelerate the end of the world' or something. Some support the forceful rehabilitation of LGBTs and say that this should be made a national policy. The people in the higher-ups are also against LGBT in general, so there's this looming threat over us. The next generation, the young, they're also increasingly conservative, so I don't think the LGBT community should expect an optimistic future here.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a law will pop up about gay rights protection.

A freak wind storm swept through Chucky Country yesterday knocking out power to millions of citizens and closing down many streets and highways. Some residents reported seeing flying debris, farm animals, cars, and even people as the wind storm shrieked throughout. The winds gusted up to 380km/hr at their peak causing scary shrill-like noises to be heard everywhere. "I couldn't believe how strong the winds were. "I lost 5 cows and 12 sheep," says farmer Billy G. Budz who owns a few acres of land on the outskirts of Bloody Ranch County. "I was walking down the street and lost my weave and shopping bags full of shoes," says Melinda McKeller of Terrace Town. "I was almost swept away, too, but a loca business owner took me by the hand and took a number of us into the basement. She saved our lives."

ChuckyElectric says that millions of people were left without power and that it would take all week to restore and repair all the damage. "It's probably gonna take until mid-month," says Cedric St. Cyr, the Head of the Chuckyian Electric Bureau. At the height of the storm, at least 20 people were reported missing and have since then been found. Of the 20, 15 were seriously injured and are recovering in hospital while 5 others quickly recovered after receiving ambulatory care and have since then been released.

The Ministry of The Environment is looking into the damage the storm caused. They say that over 100,000 trees were impacted as well as a number of shrubs. Parts of Bambi Creek overflew from landslide-like conditions earlier on. Some flooding was reported, but it did not impact neighbourhoods. The stormy weather has ended and the rest of the week should be much calmer and very sunny says the leading meteorological bureau.

Climate Chucky says that this storm was unusual and such a storm has not occurred since 1977 when a similar wind storm caused power outages and winds that were up to 290km/hr. "This one was definitely for the record books," says Oliver Burns from Climare Watch.

Clean up crews will continue to work diligently all week to clear rods from debris and rescue workers will be around to offer assistance says Tyler Westhausen, Chief of Emergency response. "We wanna make sure that everyone is safe and sound, so all schools and businesses will be closed for the rest of the week unless they are essential. We'd like to thank everyone for their help, support, and anticipated cooperation," says West. Residents who are in need of assistance can call the toll free helpline
