HumanGayMale
HumanGayMale is a grassroots organisation that advocates for gay men on the basis of biological sex and same-sex attraction. We exist to rebuild and protect gay male community, and to ensure that the biological sex-based reality of homosexuality is clearly understood, respected and defended.

What are Gay Rights?
When we talk about gay rights, we mean the basic freedoms and protections that allow gay men to live ordinary lives on the same footing as everyone else. It’s about not being penalised, restricted, or treated less fairly simply because we’re gay.
These rights do not require celebration, special status, or extra privileges. They are not about constant affirmation, institutional virtue signalling, ubiquitous symbolism, or the idea that sexual orientation should be endlessly highlighted, branded, or placed beyond ordinary standards of behaviour. Equality means being treated the same — not being elevated, indulged, or insulated from boundaries that apply to everyone else.
These rights exist so that we can live openly, form relationships, work, contribute, and participate in society without fear or disadvantage. In many countries with established democratic legal systems, these principles are now reflected in law, and the rights listed below are the practical expression of that equality. That legal equality is far from universal, and in many countries gay men continue to face criminal penalties, state repression, or serious harm.
What we mean when we say gay rights:
- Decriminalisation of consensual same-sex activity, with an equal age of consent
- Protection from discrimination, e.g in employment or the provision of goods & services
- The legal right to marry someone of the same sex
- Equal rights in adoption and parental responsibility

A Case of Unlawful Discrimination
In August 2025, our booking at a pub in Brighton was cancelled after the venue became aware of our views on sex and sexual orientation. We believe this decision was unlawful and constituted discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. HumanGayMale is now pursuing legal action against the pub and its parent brewery.
This case matters because it concerns whether we can organise openly, lawfully, and without ideological litmus tests in public spaces. If you would like to support this work, you can read more about the case and donate to our CrowdJustice appeal here:
