Northern Ireland Executive releases more detailed list on lockdown restrictions Coronavirus A six week lockdown will come into force on Boxing Day. Citing the Assembly's constant refusal to approve a marriage bill and the law that recognises marriages from other parts of the United Kingdom as civil partnerships, Amnesty International and local LGBT rights group Rainbow Project announced that a court challenge against Northern Ireland's same-sex marriage ban was likely to proceed on human rights grounds. In January , a same-sex couple married in England and residing in Northern Ireland filed a lawsuit to have their marriage locally recognised.
But with changes to the law meaning same-sex weddings can take place in Northern Ireland since 11 February , senior judges decided not to make a formal declaration on any human rights breach. In July , Labour MP Conor McGinn announced his intention to attach an amendment to an upcoming administrative bill in the UK Parliament relating to Northern Ireland, which would legalise same-sex marriage three months after passage of the bill if the Northern Ireland Assembly remained suspended.
Under the terms of the originally-drafted amendment, the region's executive could approve or repeal the measure upon resumption.

The bill passed its final stages in the Parliament and received royal assent on 24 July The regulations implementing same-sex marriage were signed by Julian Smith , Secretary of State for Northern Ireland , on 19 December Adoption by unmarried and same-sex couples was legalised after rulings by the High Court in , [95] [96] and the Court of Appeal in , that Northern Ireland's ban on same-sex couple adoption was discriminatory and a breach of human rights.
The lower rate in Northern Ireland could be due to the fact that adoption processes can take several years to be completed, meaning some adopters are still in the process and may have been approved, but not had a child placed with them yet, and that because unlike in England and Wales where same-sex adoption was introduced in and in Scotland in by their respective parliaments, Northern Ireland only did so in after a lengthy legal battle.
Following the changes implemented by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act , lesbian couples who conceive with donated sperm are likely to be treated as both being the parents of their child. Altruistic surrogacy is legal in the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland. The Gender Recognition Act of the United Kingdom, which provides for a person's change of gender to be officially recognised, applies to Northern Ireland.
This is reflected in section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act , which requires public authorities in Northern Ireland to have due regard to promoting equality of opportunity between persons of different sexual orientation, among other things. Northern Ireland is the only jurisdiction in the United Kingdom where the British Equality Act has limited application. The Sex Discrimination Gender Reassignment Regulations Northern Ireland provides a degree of protection for transgender people who are undergoing "gender reassignment" in employment and vocational training.
The case led to opposing demonstrations for and against the decision, [] with LGBT activist Peter Tatchell supporting the bakery's refusal to produce a message they disagreed with on the grounds of freedom of conscience and belief. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom sat in Belfast to hear a further appeal over four days commencing on 30 April In , the United Kingdom banned blood donations from any men who had engaged in sex with other men indefinitely. The permanent blood ban was challenged in court, with the challenge initially succeeding at first instance before Justice Treacy in the High Court on the basis that the permanent gay blood ban was irrational and legally defective.

According to the Police Service of Northern Ireland , reports of homophobic attacks have increased every year since data collection began, from incidents in to in A comparison of attitudes between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland demonstrated that social attitudes in the former were more strongly opposed to homosexuality, while noting a substantial decline in opposition over time.

Belfast Pride is a significant LGBT event in Northern Ireland, growing from 50 participants singing gay anthems at its first parade or "dander" in to over 6, participants with 12 carnival floats in With no Northern Ireland party supporting LGBT rights before , the issue now enjoys greater political support, [] although it is polarised along sectarian lines in Northern Ireland politics. The Democratic Unionist Party has faced criticism for abusing the petition of concern , originally intended to protect Northern Ireland's Nationalists and Unionists from legislation discriminating against either community by requiring cross-community support if submitted by 30 members of either side - as a "tool of LGBTQ oppression".
From the deadlocked Assembly elections until 11 January , Northern Ireland had no functioning legislative or executive institutions. Several DUP figures have attracted media attention for homophobic remarks. In , Robinson's successor as leader Arlene Foster promised that the DUP would use the petition of concern to veto same-sex marriage for the next five years. The party ran its first openly gay candidate at the Northern Ireland local elections , with Alison Bennington winning a seat in the Glengormley Urban area of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council.
LGBT rights activist Jeff Dudgeon was urged to renounce his UUP membership over the party's continued opposition to same-sex marriage, but refused to do so, stating he was happy with civil partnerships for same-sex couples. His comments prompted the party leader, Mike Nesbitt , to state that Maginnis expressed his views in a personal capacity and did not reflect party policy.
It was the first political party to put a motion to the Northern Ireland Assembly in favour of same-sex marriage. The Green Party in Northern Ireland was the first party to come out in support of same-sex marriage in and drafted Northern Ireland's first LGBT-specific manifesto for the Assembly elections.
