gay rights
Definition
- Gay rights is a global movement, although there are significant differences among national societies and local cultures regarding the toleration of same-sex relationships and social roles. In general, gay rights involve the overturning of legal provisions that discriminate against gays and lesbians, along with the enactment of protections for same-sex sexual relations, gay self-identification, and the recognition of same-sex relationships.
