Very interesting collection of things by the BBC, interesting reading even if your not from the UK

In 1967, homosexuality was partially decriminalised in England and Wales. Since then, terms like 'clause 28', 'the age of consent' and 'civil partnerships' have become part of the political language in the fight for gay rights.
In this collection, we chart the story so far for gay and lesbian equality in the UK. Many of the programmes reflect the language common at the time when they were first broadcast and illustrate the changing attitudes towards homosexuality in the last 50 years.

Interesting indeed. I like the part at the end of the segment on "Lesbianism" from 1965, where the psychologist says it's his belief that women in lesbian relationships are more likely to be sexually satisfied than women married to men. I can only imagine the phone calls the BBC received after airing that!
