Information on the (past) crime of being homosexual?
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 :)

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.
