'The Sexual Offences Act of 1967 was ground-breaking in the UK and
this book marks the fiftieth anniversary of its successful path to
the statute book. The act was not without controversy and was
fiercely fought over by the likes of Mary Whitehouse and right-wing
reactionary Tories who in typical style fought to impose their
narrow-minded blue-rinse views. Now, in 2017, Western Europe leads
the way in LGBT rights. Thirteen out of the twenty one countries
that have legalised same-sex marriage worldwide are situated in
Europe; a further thirteen European countries have legalised civil
unions or other forms of recognition for same-sex couples. This
civilised state of affairs was not always the case and in Politics,
Society and Homosexuality in Post-War Britain: The Sexual Offences
Act of 1967 and its Significance Keith Dockray charts in a short
and pithy manner the difficult path the Bill followed and records
those who supported it and were against it.
