Just as they say they do not want Sharia law in the UK, we should not support the spread of other extremist religious laws

Agreed.
But the issue is with both the words extremists and religious. No extremists thinks they are. Heck I can assure you most think our rejection is extream. And religiose people rarely admit their restrictions are religion. Even when using the Bible to justify shit. They will argue it is science or common sense.
Their is a need to term unacceptable laws in a way that forces them to openly argue their restrictions do not apply. Or actually are religious extremism. The latter is close to impossible.
Be honest with ourselves. I agree trans equality laws should exist. But only 20 or 30 years ago society as a majority considered them extream. Some off us remember it even if we disagreed.
Gay marriage was def extream when I was in my teens. Gary rights at all in my parents teens. (They also disagreed)
And a very small % of any of those considered their religious ideals as a significant element.
