LGBTQ people in the United Kingdom

Lesbian, gay and bisexual rights in the United Kingdom are considered to be advanced by international standards. Same-sex marriage has been legal in England, Wales and Scotland since 2014, and in Northern Ireland since 2020. Same-sex couples have full adoption rights across the UK, and anti-discrimination protections — covering employment, housing, education and public services — have been enshrined in law through the Equality Act 2010.

Public opinion in the UK is mostly supportive of homosexuality; however, support for transgender and non-binary issues is mixed and has been declining since 2019-20 with the significant and consistent drops noticable 2022 onwards. Trans people have been able to change their gender since 2005.
