I mean, shockingly, the UK is not representative of the entire world, and even the likes of the USA doesn't have equal rights for LGBT people

Also given Shane J is from Australia, his talk of LGBT rights clearly stems from his upbringing in Australia, which is less progressive than the UK. I don't think he has ever said "UK should have equal rights for LGBT people but not Australia!!!". In fact, I've never heard him specifically mention the UK?

The Northern Territory has not yet legislated to allow same-sex couples to adopt.

South Australia is yet to overturn the gay panic defence.

Transgender people are unable to change the sex listed on their birth certificate without medical intervention, except in the ACT and South Australia.

Married transgender people must divorce their partners to transition on official documents.

Men who have had sex with men in the previous 12 months are barred from donating blood.

Religious schools and hospitals are exempted from LGBT anti-discrimination laws in Australia.
Also, just because LGBT people have equal rights (as far as I'm aware) in the UK, doesn't mean that they're exactly equal... they're still subject to discrimination, and Shane J has spoken out about treating LGBT people equally, so it's not as if this concept isn't one Shane J hasn't advocated for

So tl;dr, they're 'constantly screaming' gay rights because in places like Australia and the USA, there are still laws against LGBT people, and in other places gay people can be killed for being gay
