Homosexuality Decriminalised After Despott U-Turn
10 February 5328
In a surprising turn of events, the right-wing One Flag party has submitted a bill to the Council of Deputies that would remove the unenforced law against homosexual relations. The law was briefly scuppered entirely after the return of multi-party democracy but was reintroduced in party through the efforts of Denzilee Depares. As a compromise, the laws were not enforced very stringently under Benaglia and are now completely unenforced under the Alagona-led coalition. BW deputies have either voted for or abstained, with all other parties besides the Order of Saint Sebastian supporting the bill. The Constitutionalist Party are also though to be split on the proposal.
That One Flag would be the party spearheading its repeal is a sign of the steps Yan Despott has been taking to 'de-toxify' the image of the party. With only the Order of Saint Sebastian to their right, One Flag lacks natural allies if the wish to return to government despite their solid base of support from Hebileans and other rural conservatives. By dropping opposition to the most basic of LGBT rights, Despott has distanced himself significantly from Depares's aggressive anti-gay rhetoric. Much of One Flag's attention since entering opposition has been on devolving agricultural policy further, to varying levels of success. Despott has also condemned anti-Yeudi sentiment in a recent speech to party organisers in Aheblun. There is increasingly discussion within the party of introducing another resolution to the Council of Deputies explicitly denouncing violence against Yeudis.
