Hey everybody! Welcome back for an awesome episode of Queer All Year!

Today we have a fun story that doesn't end in violence! It's The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands. It was created by gay rights activists in Australia who seceded on the basis of the country's refusal to recognize marriage equality. They did so under the Law of Unjust Enrichment and did so until the government recognized their right to be married. As an American it sounds impossible to secede without a military invasion; The Kingdom declared "war" on Australia, yet no one was hurt or killed. Amazing!

Thanks so much and remember: We Love You!
