Notes
Sedunn: While Sedunn was generally tolerant of same-sex sexual activity and while there have been no specific laws governing who could be married, same-sex marriage and families were considered taboo well into the mid-1900s. Regarding laws concerning gender identity, the state does not keep specific records of it other than an entry in the medical journal at birth which cannot be changed under current law.
