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 and feminine men are not seen as problematic 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 world where anti-LGBT attitudes never caught on to begin with.
  • Inverted: Pride Land is aggressively anti-LGBT.
  • Subverted: It turns out Pride Land is just Gayborhood.
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: In Pride Land, all the buildings are rainbow colors and suggestively shaped.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: ???
  • Enforced: ???
  • 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.
    • Being non-heteronormative doesn't stop Pride Land from having trouble with other forms of discrimination, such as racism (fantastic or otherwise) or classism.
  • Reconstructed:
    • People in Prideland 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.
    • Prideland'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, 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.
