Bacha has made many mixed actions and statements with regard to the Qymish LGBT community during his reign. At the beginning of his reign, he stated he supported "gay rights". He notably legalized same-sex unregistered cohabitation in 2419, but positioned himself against same-sex adoptions and what he labeled the "growing threat of gender theory", claiming they "undermine family values" and that a child "needs a mom and a dad, not only two dads or only two moms".

In 2436, Bacha shrugged and asked if it was a bad thing, after a TV anchor asked him what his thoughts were on being characterized as a transphobe and heterosexist by LGBT advocacy groups. He added: "If one of my subjects wants to pretend to be the opposite gender, they can, it's their right to be delusional, but normal people also have the right not to entertain that delusion. If I were to wear a wig, a dress and some makeup, I may like how I look, but most people would think I lost my mind". Asked, whether he qualified non-binary people as mentally ill, he confirmed that was the case. "What is it other than mental illness? They call it the gender identity disorder for a reason." Bacha then dismissed a correction that ICD-11 uses the term gender incongruence and does not consider it a mental illness, saying "they are fighting with semantics to justify something that lacks any common sense to you, me, and everyday people".
