I cannot imagine the repression one feels while in the privileged group in every sense. Truly, it must be horrible

Gay people can't give blood unless they've abstained for a year, gay people still can't marry in Northern Ireland, there aren't any laws against hate speech based on sexual orientation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, conversion therapy isn't banned... how long have you got?

blood needs to be checked with everyone, they can marry in wales scotland and england and civil partnership in n ireland which gives the same rights anyway...there are laws based on hate speech in scotland and n ireland....sadly there isnt the same protection for married men and disabled people who face endless discrimination and bias in society and in the courts....i doubt over 80% of divorced gay people lose everything...kids, house lifetime income etc

Surely the blood one relates to aids and NI will change like the rest of the UK as per

hate speech? not sure what that means (calling some one a ****?) and no idea what the last one is

Fight what exactly?

The inequality we are subjected to on a daily basis . We need laws and acts to protect us from the injustice.

I might put that in my sig

(and that's just the UK, arguably one of the most forward-thinking countries in the world when it comes to this kind of thing)

I always say the same thing and it's pretty futile really cause it goes nowhere, but discrimination, injustice and inequality isn't a competition. It isn't 'well you've got this so now we must focus on this!!!!1'. Yes there are issues that directly and disproportionately effect men, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the remaining issues facing other minorities
