DBWI: The Kaiser has come out of the closet

16-year-old German Emperor Wilhelm VI has recently come out as gay. Many members of the DNVP and church leaders are in an outrage and are demanding his abdication! What are your thoughts?
 
No fucking way he's abdicating. The last emperor to abdicate was Wilhelm III and that was out of his petty spite towards the winds shifting towards democracy, although I must admit I can't understand how he bears all that responsibility after taking power so young. Especially after losing his father at such a young age.

In terms of succession I'd guess that it will either go to whatever kids he adopts or to his uncle.
 
This is 2013 he is not going to abdicate. I suppose the next Kaiser will be his adopted child or his nephew.
Adopted children can not inherit titles or lands but the Emperor younger brother is really grateful to him for his coming out because now the fourteen older boy is the most eligible bachelor of Europe and never had so much attention.

Pfah, honestly? I don't think the Kaiser should abdicate. His crown would pass to his younger brother /regardless/ of if he abdicates or not. As long as he's a competent monarch (and he has been thus far), let him go on.

((OOC: I assume a DBWI means that you just assume it's real, et al))
 
Remember he helped lower the number of nukes with the disarmarment talks, I wouldnt want him gone any day of the week.

Isn't the Kaiser himself a church leader? Although technically a Calvinist he claims the title of "summus episcopus" for most of the Protestants in Germany.

We could either be witnesses to a liberalization of the Protestant Church(es) in Germany as a result of this anouncement or perhaps he will renounce the particular title mentioned above and we would see more separation between church and state.
