GAY TRUTH

The annual march of decadence, nudity and blatant sin, now in its 45th year, marks 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in England and Wales .  W hy was homosexuality a criminal offense ? What major event changed in society that made a criminal offense to something that is celebrated and if you disagree you are subject to a hate crime? It was deemed to be criminal - but one person said it wasn't because...here it is ....what happens "private sexual business" is nobody's business and should be a criminal offence.  In the 1960s, a Labour MP ,  Leo Abse , and a Conservative peer,  Lord Arran , put forward proposals to change the way in which criminal law treated homosexual men by means of the Sexual Offences Bill.

Ancient disapproval of homosexuality concerns homosexual rape, pederasty, or other aggressive forms that most homosexuals also condemn. It is inappropriate to carry over this situation to address the kind of homosexual living taking place today.
