Interestingly in Britain they repealed the gross indecency and buggery law in 2003, which usually was applied to gay men. 49,000 men were convicted of being involved in same-sex relationships 15,000 which are still alive. World War II hero Alan Turing was chemically castrated and committed suicide under this law. Alan Turing with his team changed the course of the war by cracking the German enigma code. I saw this the other day and I believe it's a good cause, government should never be in the bedroom, your relationship is your own business.
Benedict Cumberbatch who played Turing, was/is one of those leading the charge for the British government to make it right as much as they can. Below is a link to a petition if you are so inclined.
