I'm doing some research for a book which includes some details on the law reform in the UK. http://tinyurl.com/3yq9dm caught my eye as highly interesting.
It seems homosexuality was legalised in England and Wales, but not Scotland in July 1967, not in December as I thought. Perhaps a legal historian (Black Prince, if you're around) could check up on dates?
Was one a "Royal Assent" date and the other an Implementation Date? Do we have such things?

I would have LOVED to have seen her face as she wrote "La reine le veult" to this law (and the later ones). I think she imagines herself as a latter-day Victoria - with a moral code to match.
Timmy, I'm sorry that I can't help you with the factual imformation that was the purpose of this thread.

But she had to make it legal for Prince Wingnut and his valets!

...not to mention Edward, or so we all thought.
