Im in the middle of doing an essay and want to use an example of when it was illegal to be a homosexual, or what the act was called. I tried googling different things but cant really find anything. Because its a proper essay I need to reference where i get the information from too, so sadly couldn't use wikipedia!

If anybody could help it would be great :)

Lecturers don't like it apparently :/ I didn't even find anything on wiki as I don't really know what I'm searching for to be honest
Try googling Oscar Wilde!
Neither the time nor the place for one of your 'jokes' JonnyBoy.
Homosexuality was decriminalised (for those age 21 or over) in England and Wales by the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which repealed the relevant provisions of the Sexual Offences Act 1954. The age of consent was reduced to 18 by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and to 16 by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

Wikipedia will give you a list of References at the end of their article. Would at least point you in the right direction. Try here:

Sorry I did not mean that as a joke at all, seriously. I meant can anyone tell me if I am right or wrong.

Really some people's minds!

Jonny IMHO you do make crass and inappropriate 'jokes' in many threads. However, Eddie has now answered your question.
