Not Guilty: Queer Stories from a Century of Discrimination

Sue Elliott

Fifty years ago in the UK, sex between men was a crime. The 1967 Sexual Offences Act changed that in part, but it was only the beginning of the long fight for equality in the eyes of the law and society in general. This is an oral history telling that story through the lives of gay men who lived through those years.
