Wikipedia confirms (mostly)
The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands (also known as the Gay Kingdom of the Coral Sea) was a putative micronation established as a symbolic political protest by a group of gay rights activists based in Australia. Declared in June 2004 in response to the introduction of a government bill to the Australian Parliament in May 2004 (which later passed in September that year) that codified the heterosexual definition of marriage, the Kingdom was founded on Australia’s external overseas territory of the Coral Sea Islands, a group of uninhabited islets east of the Great Barrier Reef. The Kingdom was dissolved on 17 November 2017 following the “Yes” vote in the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey legalising same-sex marriage.
This is huge. This changes everything
And of fucking course, Haskell’s in there.
I know about the lesbian island, but this is the first time I hear about the gay island.
It’s not my nationality, but I will proudly fly that flag as an ally and defend it. Fuck that cunt down under!
Wait, that came out all wrong.
🎵 Do you come from a cunt down under? 🎵
Where politicians spew shit and fart thunder.
…and my axe!!!
You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME?
Yea, it’s called Fire Island, NY
Edit: A word
What if we kissed on the gay island? 👉👈
Just wait till you find out Eric Abetz is pansexual.
He is fucking an entire state right now pushing a stadium build that’s probably going to end up costing between 5 and 10 times more than the original ridiculous price while championing public service cuts that will result in police, nurse, doctor and teacher shortages that will have generational impacts.
So he’s conservative / far-right I guess.
“Fiscally conservative” you know the sort who will piss away tax payer money like a drunken sailor while bleating about how people need to tighten their belts and live within their means.
His aprty keeps getting re-elected at a state level because the media talks about them being strong economic managers while they lurch from disaster to disaster sinking the states credit rating and driving away as many young people as they can to pander to a rapidly aging demographic.
*** Deep Breath *** But I shouldn’t complain, could be worse.
Are they officially recognized? Does dale have any real ruling power? Are there any long-term inhabitants? I’m factually visiting it at some point in my lifetime, but I want to know the sort of awesome I’ll be finding
The Kingdom was dissolved on 17 November 2017 following the “Yes” vote in the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey legalising same-sex marriage.
The islands are still there though, still uninhabited
I’ll bring several gps beacons, as it is Australia and a butterfly looking at you funny might kill you.
Wait what queer or queer adjacent thing does lambda represent?
Like people who use lambda calculus as well as the entirety of Sparta are definitely queer, but I have a feeling neither is what that stamp’s about?
My first thought was also lambda calculus
Oh, TIL…
That ties in really well with all the NixOS gayness. Somehow, deep down, I always knew.
Well, that lambda comes from lambda-functio…
Same difference. Everyone knows math is gay :p
Stop, I can only be so pro lambda in my work (AWS).
Big fans of crowbars.
Half life fans too!
it’s me, I’m the hostile nation
YSK that in Britain we call it the Pink Pound.
I thought the gays declared war on Christmas, now Australia???
The Coral Sea Islands and the Christmas Islands are both part of Australia, so it’s more a civil war on Christmas/the mainland.
