Trinsians are tolerant of all, except two groups may be looked as different, although treatment will be no different. Same-sex couples that "show it” may receive funny looks by some, but there would be no more close-minded comments that other countries. Recreational drugs are illegal, as the vast majority of Trinsians don't want them. If you make it known you use recreational drugs (in your own country, of course) most people might remark something about "fogging the mind" and nothing else.
