@K6:
But you
do recognize that whenever two peoples share same territory, they must in some way deal with eachother? Even if accepting the premise that gays and straights are belonging to 2 different states, its not said that they cannot be citizens of one common state at the same time. They
can, if they wish - many countries allow dual citizenship. It is another question, whether the gay state, once established,
should allow dual citizenship - many countries do
not. Dual citizenships may (theoreticall) arise doubts about shared loyalties or deprive a citizen of the consular support while being in the foreign country, but they also have immense, very earthy advantages. For example, mostly foreigners may not vote, sometimes may not aquire property or form political associations. Foreigners also can be expelled from the country or extradicted to any third party - not necessarily the original (gay) state. In short, foreigners have barely rights and lots of detriments connected to their status.
And there we must come back to the diasporic nature of our people. Any large territorial country has no serious reason to care too much about lack of rights for its citizens abroad, as they can conveniently have all the rights at home. A country like ours, with let's say 99,5 % of the entire population being permanent residents somewhere else, cannot afford the luxus of voluntarily accepting such severe disadvantages for our citizens. Therefore I would advocate to allow the dual citizenship as a regular case, with the exception of higher officials, who will have to give up their foreign citizenship. In the regular case, we should seek bilateral agreements for dual citizenship with those countries, who currently do not allow this.
I understand your conception of extraterritorial jurisdiction, like it was usual custom in the ancient world - but in our modern days this system has changed towards the territorial jurisdiction. Though there are still few exceptional examples of extraterritorial jurisdiction in modern world (e.g. US troups in various occupied territories), these examples are based on unilateral demonstration of power, not on bilateral agreements.
For extraterritoriality see e.g.:

universal solution for every country?
