Any AO3 regarding the history of sexuality
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United Kingdom have evolved dramatically over time 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 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.
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.
Same-sex marriage was legalised in England, Wales and Scotland in 2014, but remained illegal in Northern Ireland until January 2020.
