What taurs' are allowed?
Well, for the moment all mammal types. This is a founding herd that had been traveling around for a while together. So, strange types aka insects, reptiles, and avian types would have to first find the isle, and then also enter into talks in joining. Umm.. I hope I was not too wordy..
What is the herd hierarchy?
Herd leaders - An elected position consisting of a mated pair. This vote takes place every ten years. These leaders work for the betterment of their people and herd. It is not some title of nobility. They are expected to work, help out, and hear worries that others have.
Delegates - represent the herd on matters of peace making, should there be a need or trade and travel. This can be an elected position or a purely voluntary one.
Elders - are well umm.. The elders and wise gray haired members of the herd. Their words and guidance are welcome, and looked on with reverence.
Herd member - just a generic title for those that live on the isle and within the herd. Stallions, mares, and foals. (I am working on it!)
Any distinctions between the hierarchy?
If you are asking about crowns or the like. No. The herd leaders do not wear crowns.
They do wear decorative feather earpieces that are worn behind the ear, with some pieces woven into hair.

Are centaurs allowed to have same sex pairings? Or fall under lgbtq?
I would hope we are all mature, adults here and can be open to all forms of love and lifestyles. Short answer, yes. Life is a rainbow of color and no one should have to hide themselves.
