Lesbian and Gay rights

Lesbian and gay rights refer to the legal and social efforts to ensure that people attracted to their own gender—lesbians and gay men—have the same freedoms and protections as others. This includes recognition of relationships, marriage equality, anti-discrimination laws, and equal access to employment, housing, and healthcare. Advocates seek to eliminate prejudice, ensure respect for personal identity, and promote equality under the law. These rights aim to affirm the dignity and human rights of lesbian and gay individuals, fostering inclusive societies where everyone can live authentically without fear of discrimination or marginalization.
