Up until 1967 homosexuality was considered a criminal offence, being homosexual prior to this meant living a life in constant fear.
Laws against homosexual activity before 1967 included;
- Gross indecency with another man: Introduced in 1885 and used to prosecute men where sodomy could not be proven.
- Buggery: First used as an offence in 1533 and remained a capital punishment until the 19th Century.
The campaign to update the Law received high profile support from celebrities when Alan Turing's life and work was turned into the movie, 'The Imitation Game'.
These changes have received cross party support.
*Alan Turing was a world war two code breaker famous for his work on the Enigma machine he was convicted for a gay relationship and was offered and accepted hormonal treatment to alter his libido, treatment that rendered him impotent. Turing took his own life shortly after. The Queen pardoned Turing on the 24th December 2013.
