    It depends on where you live.

    In some places it is illegal to "engage in homosexual activities". Punishments range from fines, to imprisonment, to death.

    Some places allow employers to fire homosexual employees.

    In many areas marriages between same sex couples are not legally recognised. In some places de-facto relationships between same sex couples are not legally recognised. Both of these things can lead to other difficulties, such as not being allowed to make medical choices for your partner, not being recognised as a parent to your children, as well as financial problems. Particuarily if the couple splits up, their is no child support; if one partner dies, the remaining partner may not be allowed to keep the children or claim death benefits.

    Laws regarding children also vary from place to place. In some areas, two parents can be listed on a birth cirtificate, regardless of gender. In other, the non-biological parent has to apply for adoption (which may not be granted), and in some places even this option is not available.

    Many places to not allow same sex couple to adopt, foster, or use IVF or surrogacy organisations.

    I believe that in some place homosexual people are also not allowed to donate blood.

    There are obviously a lot of things that need to be changed to make our legal systems more legal.
