Basic Trope: An entire society that is mostly composed or at least accepting of various different sexualities and gender identities.
- Straight: In Pride Land, being gay and/or transgender is not even seen as notable.
- Exaggerated: ... to the point where being straight and/or cisgender is seen as weird or even frowned upon.
- Downplayed:
- Although the story doesn't mention LGBT people, masculine women, feminine men as well as expressing same-sex affections are not seen as problematic in Pride Land.
- Everyone Is Bi is a norm in Pride Land.
- Justified:
- Pride Land was originally settled by refugees from a society that rejects those who deviate from norms of gender and sexuality. Acceptance of different forms of gender and sexuality is a cornerstone of its ideology.
- Pride Land is located on an alien or fantasy world where anti-LGBT attitudes never caught on to begin with, if such attitudes existed at all.
- The population of Pride Land is One-Gender Race. Same-sex relationship is the only available option here.
- Wide acceptance of LGBT people has evolved to the point that anti-LGBT attitudes have become a thing of the past.
- Inverted:
- Shame Land, the national enemy of Pride Land, is aggressively anti-LGBT.
- Shame Land views heteronormativity as unusual and abnormal.
- Subverted: It turns out Pride Land is just a Gayborhood.
- Double Subverted: It's a Gayborhood… consisting of cisgender people. Trans* people make up the majority of the population, while cisgender straight people are very rare.
- Parodied: In Pride Land, all the buildings are rainbow colors and suggestively shaped.
- Zig-Zagged: In Pride Land, different sexualities are seen as normal, but other gender roles are strictly enforced, and trans people are abhorred as deviant.
- Averted: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "Wouldn't it be great if there was a society where everyone was LGBT?"
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed:
- Because the majority of Pride Land are gay, they have trouble maintaining a population, a major issue if they are facing war.
- Being non-heteronormative doesn't stop Pride Land from having trouble with other forms of discrimination, such as racism (fantastic or otherwise) or classism.
- Ironically, this leads to people who have a heteronormative sexual preference (but have an open mind otherwise, especially because they grew up here) to be the ones discriminated against.
- Because all sexualities are accepted in Pride Land, this includes bestiality, pedophilia, incest, and underage sex.
- Ironically, having a heteronormative relationship in Pride Land is what is considered bizarre or even obscene.
- Reconstructed:
- People in Pride Land develops an system where one male-male couple and one female-female couple would match and let one member of each couple procreate and they all would work together to raise the child(ren) (most of the time, in separate houses with each couple taking turns in taking care of the children similar to divorced couples with 50/50 custody but other times within the same house), with the added plus of making sure the child has a paternal/maternal role model. Plus, many people got paid to become surrogate parents by either donating their sperm to female couples or carrying their child for the male couples.
- Pride Land's science division has already developed advanced technology in fertility to allow same sex couples to procreate without the need of heterosexual intercourse. Plus, in addition to in vitro fertilization, cloning and surrogacy, there's also adoption agencies for any non-heterosexual couple, looking for a child to raise. This helps not only regulate the population control but also encourages non-traditional families to thrive.
- The non-heteronormative ideals can be used as a starting point for those fighting against other forms of discrimination.
- Being LBGTQ is no more common in Pride Land than it is in reality, it just isn't treated as any more notable than having green eyes or any other minor uncommon trait.
- Pride Land's culture strongly values consent, so harmful and nonconsensual sexual activities such as pedophilia and bestiality are illegal.
