LGBT rights in Western Australia
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the Australian state of Western Australia have some of the same rights as heterosexual people, yet same-sex couples lack access to a state-based relationship recognition scheme as occurs in all other Australian states. The only law in Western Australia that discriminates against same-sex couples was a law called the ''Surrogacy Act 2008'', that bans gay male couples from altruistic surrogacy agreements (similar to South Australia).
==Laws regarding homosexuality==
In December 1989, the Parliament of Western Australia passed the ''Law Reform (Decriminalisation of Sodomy) Act 1989'' which decriminalised private sexual acts between two people of the same sex and went into effect in March 1990.〔(Gay Law Reform in Australian States and territories )〕 The Act was however, one of the strictest gay law reform acts in Australia, as it made the age of consent for homosexual sex acts between males 21, whilst lowering the heterosexual age of consent to 16. The Act also created new homosexual-oriented offences under state law, including making it a crime for a person to "...promote or encourage homosexual behaviour as part of the teaching in any primary or secondary educational institutions..." or make public policy with respect to the undefined promotion of homosexual behaviour.〔(Law Reform (Decriminalisation of Sodomy) Act 1989 )〕
LGBT people in Western Australia achieved equalisation of consent ages in 2002 via the ''Acts Amendment (Gay and Lesbian Law Reform) Act 2002'', which also repealed the laws with respect to promotion of homosexual behaviour in public policy and in educational institutions.〔(Acts Amendment (Gay and Lesbian Law Reform) Act 2002 full text )〕
