First World War

The first World War started over LGBT rights being treated horrendously in  Antalorgia. After the bill to make non traditional marriages illegal, which passed,  Kayania, flagrainbow Rainbow Islands,  Atlantis,  Lyscia and  Antalorgia all started the biggest world war we have seen in the Lyrical World. The war is on temporary hold, as  Rainbow Islands is hosting the 15th edition of Lyrical Song Contest. However, it's expected to start again.
THE START - 7/12/14; PROTESTS
On December 7th, 2014, the  Antalorgian parliament made a statement that it would vote on a law prohibiting propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships among minors.

Kayanians made their way to  Antalorgia, to proceed with peaceful demonstrations. Following the news, the  Rainbow Islands prime minister, Félix Avery, heard this and acknowledged that his LGBT community were on their way to Antalorgia too, as the prime minister himself is gay and the country is 98% tolerant; with same-sex relations allowed. The prime minister of the rainbow islands expressed his deep displeasure with the new law in  Antalorgia, and that his ''faith for Antalorgia and their politics is completely lost'' and that he hopes ''that some new and tolerant people will go into parliament in the future'' (official words of the prime minister).

Then,  the Sultanate Al-Arabiyyah announced that citizens from that country would go to Antalorgia to help  Kayanians and  Rainbow Islanders with their protests, and the government announced also a boycott of Antalorgia. At 9:20 PM,  King of Atlantis announced that the country would consider stopping diplomatic relations with countries that are protesting against the anti-LGBT law.
