What laws are there that discriminate against homosexuals, besides same sex marriage?

What unjust laws are there? I heard something about adoption and home owning.What laws are there that discriminate against homosexuals, besides same sex marriage?
There are adoption agencies that will not allow same-sex couples to adopt, it's true. I'm not sure about the home owning stuff. There are places that have (or had in the past) laws against sodomy and such. In the US, most states do not recognize same-sex couples meaning no tax deductions, no family benefits, and if a someone is in critical condition in a hospital a same-sex partner may not be permitted to see them if the hospital has ruled family only admittance. Finally, as stated above the US military has the ';don't ask don't tell'; policy. (I believe homosexuals are given a dishonorable discharge, but I'm not sure about this.)What laws are there that discriminate against homosexuals, besides same sex marriage?
The remaining anti-homosexual sodomy laws have been invalidated by the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision Lawrence v. Texas . It is not clear whether or how sodomy laws that apply to both homosexual and heterosexual sex are affected by Lawrence. The United States Supreme Court also implied that the age of consent must be the same for heterosexuals and homosexuals when it ordered the Kansas courts to review the constitutionality of the state's Romeo and Juliet Law.
Well in the UK we have civil partnership which gives same sex couples the same rights as marriage, Some people still want marriage as an option though too, as marriage has bugger all to do with religion, which tends to be the reason cited.


In the US discrimination can occur with inheritance taxes, if where only a spouse is allowed to inherit without the inheritance tax, power of attorney, visitation in hospital if only spouse and family are allowed the partner may not be allowed. You can get round these things with a lawyer, but its more money and effort than just getting married/civil partnered.
This is a very broad question. It varies from country to country. In developed countries, the main ones are gay adoption and protection against housing and working discrimination. However, in some countries, sodomy is illegal and even worse than that, some countries if someone is found out to be gay (especially if they are a man) they will be killed.
well here in the uk same sex marriage is legal, however it is not called marriage because marriage is defined as a man and woman being married. It is instead called a civil ceremony. (i think)
DADT, lesbian insemenation, gay sperm and blood donation and some adoption laws in some states.
I'm not sure! But I'd be interested in finding out
um, none allowed in the army, but i can sort of understand that
