Book
Some men in London. Volume 2, Queer life, 1960-1967
On the shelf? Just pop in.
This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least ended official persecution.
