<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64110" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/67904/NEWCASTLE-City-Guide-main.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><h2>Newcastle Upon Tyne</h2>Newcastle Upon Tyne is the economic and cultural hub of the North East England and the core of an urban area with close to a million people living there.Home to the Geordies and their infamous accent, Newcastle is known for it's warm and friendly welcome. Though one of the UK's smaller main cities there is more than enough here to interest fans of architecture, arts, shopping, culture and history.Newcastle has a compact but vibrant gay scene ironically known as the 'Pink Triangle' concentrated relatively close to Central Station.<h2></h2><h2>Gay Scene</h2>Newcastle's gay scene is relatively small in comparison to other northern cities like Liverpool and Manchester but it's always a good option if you want a fun and frivolous night out.Centred around Times Square (admittedly nothing like the one in New York) there is a good selection of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/newcastle-gay-bars/">Gay Bars</a>, <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/newcastle-gay-dance-clubs/">Gay Clubs</a> and <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/newcastle-gay-saunas/">Gay Saunas</a> just a short hop away from the train station.Newcastle also has it's own <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/event/newcastle-pride-2017/">Pride festival</a>, known as Northern Pride, held just to the north of the city on the expansive Town Moor. Expect a carnival mood and a family friendly atmosphere.&nbsp;<h2>Getting to Newcastle</h2>By trainNewcastle is the rail-hub of the North East with direct travel to London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and over UK destinations available throughout the day. Central Station is a 5-minute walk from Newcastle's gay scene.By airA small but well connected airport serves Newcastle, offering connecting flights to European hubs by British Airways, Air France and KLM. The main budget airlines all fly to Newcastle and Emirates provides links to distant shores.The best way to get into Newcastle from the airport is by the Metro. Tickets cost £3.30 and the 30 minute journey takes you right into the city of Newcastle.Alternatively if you have a lot of luggage you could take a taxi. Pre-booked taxis would cost around the £15 mark but expect to pay more if you grab one at the rank.By seaNewcastle is close to the coast and DFDS operate a scheduled ferry service to Amsterdam. A direct bus from Central Station to the ferry port costs £3.80 or alternatively you can take the Metro to Percy Main where it's a 5-10 minute walk to the terminal (£2.60).&nbsp;<h2>Getting around Newcastle</h2>The city centre is relatively compact so you can walk from most parts of the city with relative ease. The popular Quayside area, however, is on the bottom of a steep hill, so you may want to take a taxi if you want to travel to the other side of town.There is also a Metro system serving the county of Tyne and Wear, with 4 stops in the city centre. It's a valuable tool if you want to explore the coast at Tynemouth, the affluent suburb of Jesmond, or the nearby city of Sunderland. Tickets start at £1.70.&nbsp;<h2>Where to Stay in Newcastle</h2>Newcastle has a great choice of accommodation in and around the city centre. Our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/gay-newcastle-hotels/">Gay Newcastle Hotels</a> page highlights some of the best-rated and most popular hotels in the city.&nbsp;<h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2>Newcastle has a cultural scene almost as vibrant as Manchester but being half the size means that it's easier to come across something new every time you turn a corner.The city has a rich musical heritage, with musical luminaries Sting, Bryan Ferry, Neil Tennant (of Pet Shop Boys fame) and Jimi Hendrix all claiming connections to Tyneside. Nowadays Newcastles hosts everything from huge arena gigs to intimate pub acoustic sets.<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-73647" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/67906/gay-newcastle.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />Grey's Street and the Monument - at the heart of the city is the Monument to Charles Grey (think a downsized version of Nelson's Column) and the beautiful Georgian architecture of Grey Street (voted Britain's best street in 2010).Theatre Royal - magnificent Georgian theatre on Grey's Street.

¿Newcastle tiene una zona gay?

IVF treatment is available for lesbian couples too.

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

On November 30, 2000 a bill was signed to make the ages of consent equitable, regardless of gender.  The law came into effect on August 1, 2001.  The age of consent for men who have sex with men was reduced from 18 to 16, on par with different sex individuals.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

A bill was signed to reduce the age of consent for men who have sex with men from 21 to 18.

The Sexual Offenses Act made sex between two men legal in 1967*, but it was only legal between consenting men who were 21 or older, whereas the age of consent for different sex couples was 16. 
 
*Sex between more than two men remained illegal until later.

Sexual activities between two or more men were illegal prior to 1967, and therefore, the age of consent was irrelevant; it was all illegal.

The 3-month deferral for MSM has been dropped in England, Wales and Scotland. Instead, donors of any gender will be asked about their recent sexual activity, and those who have only had one sexual partner within the last 3-months will be eligible to donate. 
Northern Ireland is due to follow suit with these changes in September 2021.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

In 2017, the 3-month blood donation rule came into force at blood donation centres in Scotland in November, and in early 2018 in England.

Following an evidence-based review by the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (SaBTO) the lifetime ban was reduced to a 1-year deferral period in England, Wales, and Scotland.

In reaction to the HIV/AIDS crisis, MSMs were banned from donating blood for life. 

Previous law repealed by section 122 of the Local Government Act 2003.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 stated that local authorities could not "intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". The law did not create a criminal offence, leaving staff to fear losing their jobs if they breached the rules. 

Legal gender recognition is possible in all four constituent countries of the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) as per the Gender Recognition Act (2004, in effect 2005). Section 1 of the law states that "any person of either gender" who is aged at least 18 can make an application for "a gender recognition certificate" on the basis of— (a) living in the other gender, or (b) having changed gender under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. These certificates are issued by a Gender Recognition Panel. 
The law includes the following requirements for obtaining such certificate: (1) a "gender dysphoria" diagnosis, proved through two reports (one by a registered medical practitioner or psychologist specialised in gender dysphoria, and another one made by a registered medical practitioner); (2) having lived in the “acquired gender” for two years before filing the application, proved through different means (such as a statutory declaration or documents where their gender identity is stated -i.e. pay slips, benefit documentation, bank statements, utility bills); (3) a statutory declaration showing intention "to continue to live in the acquired gender until death"; (4) spousal consent, if the applicant is married or in a civil partnership (partner must consent to the marriage or partnership continuing after the issue of the full gender recognition certificate).

Legal recognition of sex reassignment by permitting a change of legal gender on an individual's birth certificate.

According to ILGA, laws in force in United Kingdom do not regulate or restrict sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression change efforts (SOGIECE), regularly known as “conversion therapies”. 
 
Conversion therapy ban has been discussed for many years. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised to ban conversion therapy in July 2020 and this was reiterated in the 2021 Queen's Speech. In March 2022, the plans were dropped, only for a partial U-turn just hours later when the government announced that the ban would go ahead but not cover trans people. 
 
On January 17 2023, the government announced they'd pass a new law to include transgender people in the conversion therapy ban. 
 
Since 2023, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has failed to comment on actually banning practices of Conversion therapy. He is known to be Anti-LGBTQ, and preaches "Save the kids"

Legal status of conducting sexual orientation changing therapy ("ex-gay" therapy)

LGBT discrimination in Great Britain is illegal, but Northern Ireland only offers limited anti-discrimination laws.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Employment discrimination protections in the UK stem from several peices of legislation, which were combined into the wide-ranging Equality Act 2010. There are, however, exemptions for certain occupations (such as religious organisations).

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

The Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000 repealed all criminal provisions regarding homosexuality; setting an equal age of consent for sexual activity between men.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

**LEGAL, WITH RESTRICTIONS** 
The Sexual Offences Act of 1967 legalized sexual acts between two men who were 21 or older (Excluding men serving in the military), but it placed new restrictions on sex for men who have sex with men. The act prohibited sex in places where a third party was likely to be present.

The Offences Against the Person Act 1861 lowered the maximum penalty to life imprisonment. 
 
Subsequent laws, such as The Labouchere Amendment (Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885) redefined the offence and allowed for other punishments, for example Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years hard labour in 1895, and in 1952 Alan Turing was chemically castrated. 
 
Female homosexuality and sexual acts were not addressed in the law, and therefore, they technically would have been legal, though the law often applied the law towards women.

Under the Buggery Act 1533, which recieved Royal Assent from King Henry VIII in 1534, homosexuality in what is now the United Kingdom was punishible by death. 
 
It was replaced in whole by the Offences Against the Person Act 1828, which carried the same punishment until repealed in 1861.

For Local Authorities they would be bound by Equality Act 2010 and have a duty under Public Sector Equality Duty. For private landlords would be bound by Equality Act 2010

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity when applying for housing or discrimination by landlords / property owners.

Same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland came into force on 13 January 2020.

Marriage and marriage recognition between two people of the same biological sex and/or gender identity.

Marriage equality in Northern Ireland was brought into line with the rest of the UK via the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2019.

Came into force as of March 29th, 2014 . Same-sex marriage is still unrecognized fully in some parts of the UK (such as Northern Ireland).

The legislation allowed religious organisations to opt in to marry same-sex couples should they wish to do so and protected religious organisations and their representatives from successful legal challenge if they did not wish to marry same-sex couples.

The Civil Partnership Act (2004). 
 
Under the Act, same-sex couples can register a civil partnership, which has almost the same legal effects, rights and obligations as marriage does for mixed-sex couples. For that reason, civil partnership is sometimes called ‘gay marriage’. However, legally, it is not marriage, but is a separate, segregated system

The Ministry of Defence were forced to change their stance on when the European Court of Human Rights ruled in September 1999 that the then current ban on gays in the military was unlawful.

The ability for homosexuals to serve in the military and be open about their sexuality.

The Sexual Offences Act of 1967 explicitly made serving in the military as an openly gay/bi man illegal.  Prior to this act, it was illegal for a man to have sex with another man entirely, and therefore, it was also illegal.

Same-sex sexual activity was illegal for men, and therefore, these individuals were not permitted in the military.

In 2021 the UK government said (in response to a petition) that legal recognition of non-binary gender identity would have "complex practical consequences for other areas of the law, service provision and public life", and said that they felt existing legislation allowing people to change their legal gender went far enough. Courts have, however, ruled that people with non-binary identities are protected from discrimination by the Equality Act. On 4 October 2023, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak asserted his stance on gender identity in a speech Wednesday, stating it was “common sense” that “a man is a man and a woman is a woman”. 

Legal recognition of non-binary, genderqueer, or third gender identities.
