My status is founder as Homosexual Love. I have two other nations - Spanish Africa which I use for non-founder matters and Carlos Eduardo, which I will move to 10000 Islands if the embassy is established.
Our members requested an embassy with 10000 Islands. We have relations with Philosophy 115, Gay, The Maritimes and Nudist Dreamland. They are our closest friends.
We are a peaceful region, neither raiders nor defenders. We were founded 21 November 2013. We are a democracy with a constitution. There are currently 28 members, of which 11 are WA members.

We applied on 7 September, apparently in the wrong place, though it was the Embassy Request thread, then again on 1 October. Woonsocket has kindly followed this up a couple of times. After all this on 9 November we are turned down.
It is your decision to make, but the reasons you give trouble me. We are two years old; that is not exceptionally new. If we are small (26 nations with 11 WA members) we are active and democratic.
Is it a problem that we are a gay region?
You are too big and important to worry about what others might think, so I will say no more. We will not apply again.

Your orientation was never even mentioned in our discussions. We have closed several embassies in recent weeks due to the size and activity of the regions in question. We are also incredibly stretched in terms of emissaries. To open an embassy with a region of 11 WA members doesn't make sense right now. Since your first reaction is to play the minority/discrimination card than it is safe to say our regions wouldn't work well together anyway. I wish you all the best in your endeavours and hope you continue to enjoy playing NS.

To charge us with playing the "minority/discrimination card" is interesting. Not five minutes before I received your rejection, Capitalist Paradise closed their embassy with us because their founder noticed we were in their portfolio and objected. Nothing to do with capitalism, just US-style right-wingery. From my point of view at the time it was a fair question.
I understand and accept the reasons you give. I wish I had been told that two months before when we applied.

There is a process for voting that needs time to play out. Sometimes it takes an extended period of time, i am sorry it took so long.
