The Sexual Offences Act of 1967 was ground-breaking in the UK and Politics, Society and Homosexuality in Post-War Britain: The Sexual Offences Act of 1967 and its Significance marks the fiftieth anniversary of its successful path to the statute book.
The act was not without controversy and was fiercely fought over by the likes of Mary Whitehouse and right-wing reactionary Tories who in typical style fought to impose their narrow-minded blue-rinse views. Now, in 2017, Western Europe leads the way in LGBT rights.
Thirteen out of the twenty-one countries that have legalised same-sex marriage worldwide are situated in Europe; a further thirteen European countries have legalised civil unions or other forms of recognition for same-sex couples.
This civilised state of affairs was not always the case and in this book, Keith Dockray charts in a short and pithy manner the difficult path the Bill followed and records those who supported it and were against it.
