Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands
The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands( also known as The Gay Kingdom of the Coral Sea) was a micronation established as a symbolic political protest by a group of gay rights activists based in Australia.
Declared in 2004 in response to the Australian government's refusal to recognise same- sex marriages, it 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 decision made by the Australian people to legalise gay marriage.
