- LGBT_rights_in_the_United_Kingdom abstract "Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United Kingdom have evolved dramatically over time though still vary slightly by jurisdiction in the four nations of the United Kingdom.Before and during the formation of the UK, Christianity and homosexuality clashed. Same-sex sexual activity was characterised as sinful and, under the Buggery Act 1533, was outlawed and punishable by death. LGBT rights first came to prominence following the decriminalisation of same-sex sexual activity across the UK between 1967 and 1982.Since the turn of the 21st century, LGBT rights have increasingly strengthened in support. Some discrimination protections had existed for LGBT people since 1999, but were extended to all areas under the Equality Act 2010. In 2000, Her Majesty's Armed Forces removed its ban on LGBT individuals serving openly. The age of consent was equalised, regardless of sexual orientation, in 2001. Transgender people have had the right to change their legal gender since 2005. The same year, same-sex couples were granted the right to enter into a civil partnership, a similar legal structure to marriage, and also to adopt in England and Wales. Scotland later followed on adoption rights for same-sex couples in 2009, and Northern Ireland in 2013. Laws permitting Same-sex marriage were passed for England and Wales in June 2013 (which came into effect on 29 March 2014), and for Scotland in March 2014, which is expected to come into effect later in 2014. Northern Ireland does not intend to introduce same-sex marriage and recognises same-sex marriages as civil partnerships.Today, LGBT citizens have most of the same legal rights as non-LGBT citizens and Britain provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT communities. In ILGA-Europe's 2013 review of LGBTI rights, Britain received the highest score in Europe, with 77% progress toward "respect of human rights and full equality."An Integrated Household Survey estimated 1.5% people in Britain identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual – far lower than previous estimates of 5–7%. Interpreting the statistics, an ONS spokeswoman said, "Someone may engage in sexual behaviour with someone of the same sex but still not perceive themselves as gay." LGBT rights organisations and very large LGBT communities have been built across the length and breath of Britain, most notably in Birmingham, Blackpool, Brighton, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Newcastle, which all host annual pride festivals.".
