Understanding and protecting your legal rights as an LGBTQ+ individual
If you're facing immediate legal issues or discrimination:
The Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender reassignment. This means it's unlawful to discriminate against someone because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or any other LGBTQ+ identity.
Every employee has the right to a safe and inclusive workplace. Employers have a legal duty to prevent discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Everyone has the right to access healthcare services without discrimination. Healthcare providers must provide appropriate care regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
LGBTQ+ individuals have equal rights in marriage, civil partnerships, adoption, and family planning.
Hate crimes and incidents targeting LGBTQ+ individuals are taken seriously by law enforcement. It's important to report these incidents to help prevent future occurrences and ensure appropriate action is taken.
