The Labour Party is committed to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans equality, and has led the world in equality legislation.

Between 1997 and 2010 the Labour government did more for the advancement of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans equality than any other government in British History. Fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is an everyday struggle.

In government Labour:

• achieved an equal age of consent;
• ended the ban on LGBT people serving in our armed forces;
• ended discrimination against Lesbian & Gay partners for immigration purposes;
• gave LGBT individuals and couples the right to adopt children;
• scrapped the homophobic Section 28 (Clause 2a in Scotland);
• become a signatory of the Treaty of Amsterdam, which gave the EU powers to end discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation;
• banned discrimination in the workplace and in vocational training with the introduction of the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations;
• created the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which gives LGBT people statutory body protection;
• included homophobia in the definition of hate crimes;
• increased sentencing for homophobic hate crimes;
• produced and implemented the Gender Recognition Act, allowing Trans people to have their true gender recognised in law;
• created the Civil Partnerships, allowing LGB people to have their loving relationships recognised by law and have the same benefits as married couples;
• outlawed discrimination in goods and services (with no exceptions);
• awarded statutory rights for fertility treatment for Lesbians on the NHS.
• introduced the Equality Act

Also, it was the votes of Labour MPs that ensure that Gay Marriage Bill passed into law.
