Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the Australian state of South Australia have some of the same rights as heterosexual people. Same-sex couples can enter into Domestic Partnerships (akin to civil unions) though they lack legal equity with respect to adoption, surrogacy and assisted reproductive technology rights. South Australia is one of only two states in Australia (the other being Queensland) not to have abolished the gay panic defence within common law,〔(Renewed calls to remove gay lain defence in SA (Star Observer - February 2014) )〕 despite it being the first Australian state to decriminalise homosexual sex in 1972. In September 2015 a report released by the South Australian Law Reform Institute identified over 140 South Australian Acts and Regulations which discriminate (or potentially discriminate) on the grounds of sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and Intersex status, and issued a number of sweeping recommendations to amend such laws.〔(See page 11 of the report )〕 ==Laws regarding homosexuality== In 1972, the Dunstan Labor government introduced a ''consenting adults in private'' defence in South Australia. This defence was later introduced as a bill by Murray Hill, father of former Defence Minister Robert Hill. South Australia became the first state or territory to decriminalise sexual conduct between males and provide and equal age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual sex (which is 17 years of age), with the ''Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Amendment Act 1975'' achieving exactly these reforms.〔(Gay law reform in Australian States and Territories: South Australia )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LGBT rights in South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
