Loss of Free Movement
One of the greatest impact Brexit will have on the LGBT community is the ability to freely move between EU states, especially with a partner who is not a European citizen. Currently, EU citizens in the LGBT community are able to bring their partners to another EU state because of the “LGBT inclusive” definition of family. After Brexit, the EU seems to want to further improve these policies and make it easier for LGBT peoples to travel. How will the UK help the LGBT community after Brexit? Or will LGBT people have to migrate out of the UK?

I do not think 'migration' will have to happen. For the EU citizens in the UK I believe nothing will change. I cannot- at this point- believe that the UK will revoke such LGBT rights as set out by the EU due to the political controversy this would bring and also because the UK is planning to bring EU laws in UK legislation.

This is a huge concern, especially when rights for LGBT partners aren't as clearly defined as they are for heterosexual married couples. If no legislation is passed, it is possible that LGBT Brits may face this problem. The UK is already looking to tighten borders, rather than allow freer movement. I wonder if this will affect all married couples, straight or gay.
