"The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name": Decriminalizing Homosexuality in Britain

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

And yet, throughout much of that country's history, gay men were chastised, shunned, even arrested simply because of who they loved. Join me this week for a look at the steps the British government took towards decriminalizing homosexuality, a series of landmark decisions whose consequences and effects are still being felt today.
