I left UK because of these Acts, since I could not protect children and persecute paedophiliacs including police officers.
Prime Minister Edward Heath had a permanent male consort under 16 years.
Strangely Army, Navy and Police officers are excluded from prosecution while they are on active service.
Worst Case Scenario
Those who were prosecuted in the past were exonerated posthumously under political pressure.
Liberal Party in England actually represented Gays.
This is all done to win elections.
I was aLabour Party sympathizer but current party is dominated by gays. I have no political alliance to any party in UK except Workers Party which George Galloway represents. I do not know what sexual orientation this party has.
Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher
Secret unwritten law not to prosecute as an offence but never passed any law.
I believe Elizabeth 1 opposed any formal Act.
Reason may be there were many homosexuals within the Royal Family.

Lowering the age to 16 which is the age when heterosexual act is permitted legally.
Karl Marx
Descrimination on the grounds of Sexual Orientation was considered an oppression similar to Landlords oppressing tenants.
Russia
LGBTQ is a Criminal Act and punishable
Decriminalized in 1993
Homosexuality is considered a deramgement.
Homosexuls are not recruited to Army, Navy and Air Force.
That is why Russian Servicemen are ruthless and very effective in combat roles.
