LGBT rights in the Australian Capital Territory
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the Australian territory known as the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) have most of the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts - excluding access to civil marriage for same-sex couples, which the federal government has responsibility for under a recent High Court ruling.
==Laws regarding homosexuality==
In May 1973, a simple motion passed in the Commonwealth House of Representatives by 64 votes to 40, decriminalising homosexual acts between consenting adults in private in the Australian Capital Territory. The motion said:〔(Homosexual law reform in Australian States and Territories )〕
In May 1975 the now-defunct ACT Legislative Council passed an ordinance which decriminalised some aspects of male-to-male sexual activity (though retained a minimum 5-year sentence to any individual convicted of anal sex) and elevated the age of consent for homosexual sex to be 18, rather than the 16 years of age reserved for heterosexual sex. Eventually, the conservative federal government of Liberal Malcom Fraser signed off on the changes, resulting in the implementation of the ''Law Reform (Sexual Behaviour) Ordinance 1976''.〔(Homosexual law reform in Australian States and Territories )〕〔(Law Reform (Sexual Behaviour) Ordinance 1976 (repealed) )〕 It was not until December 1985 that the law was amended so as to remove the draconian punishments for homosexual sex and the age of consent was equalised, when the ''Crimes (Amendment) Ordinance 1985''〔(Crimes (Amendment) Act (No 5) 1985 (repealed) )〕 was enacted.
