A History of UK LGBT Law

On Tuesday 11th July, I gave a presentation for South London Gays.
(http://www.southlondongays.org.uk/)

"LGBT in Justice" is a short talk, tracing the main changes to UK law, starting with Henry VIII in 1533 to the present day, that affect LGBT+ people. The main target has tended to be male-male same sex behaviour, but there are a few other interesting items along the way. For instance, did Queen Victoria really not believe in Lesbians? To be honest, I have no idea, However, look for the item from 1921...

This talk is based on a PowerPoint presentation. You can download the original slides here:

The 1921 item is on on slide 7 and 8. 


I should also make a disclaimer at this point: The presentation does not pretend to include every possible law that affects LGBT+ people. It does try, however, to hit the lowlights and the highlights.
