In the UK, homosexual activity has been legalised in England and Wales since 1967.

It was legalised in Scotland in 1981, and in Northern Ireland in 1982.

Civil partnerships have been legally recognised across the whole of the UK since 2005.

Same sex marriage was legalised on 17th July 2013 in England and Wales. It is pending for Scotland (proposed for 2014) but is still illegal in Northern Ireland.

Following assent from Queen Elizabeth II, same-sex marriage will be legal in England and Wales on March 29, 2014. Until then, same-sex couples may obtain the same rights and responsibilities as legal marriage by entering into a civil partnership.

Scotland has enacted a same-sex marriage law and such marriages will begin there in October 2014.

Both performance and recognition of a marriage between parties of the same gender is explicitly prohibited in Northern Ireland by the 2003 Marriage Order (Northern Ireland).

Previously, the 2004 Civil Partnership Act (which came into effect in December 2005) provided exactly the same rights and benefits of marriage to same-sex couples, except for use of the word "marriage." Same-sex marriages performed in countries outside the UK are recognized inside the UK as "Civil Partnerships."
