The LGBT+ community has worked incredibly hard to challenge discrimination, secure legal rights in every sphere of our lives and improve access to jobs, education, housing and health services in the UK.
We’ve come a remarkably long way in the past 50-odd years since the partial decriminalisation of ‘homosexual acts’ in 1967. Our journey has been marked by a number of successes and setbacks, many of which we have overcome despite experiencing discrimination from a number of powerful bodies including the media, various governments and political organisations and, unfortunately, the NHS.
