Q

Any AO3 regarding the history of sexuality

A

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.​
