Default Ann "In favour of legalisation of homosexuality because it was a source of blackmail"

A lot of gay actors, politicians or people in the public eye were fair game back then and were constantly threatened and blackmailed for votes or money or would be outed and lose their jobs and face public humiliation.

Sad it still exists today mostly in the acting and sporting world.

Look up the story on Jeremy Thorpe, the once liberal leader .... that was an almighty mess .... and probably one of the instances she was thinking on

Oh I see. Thanks. It would have been good if she'd explained her view on legalization a bit further because leaving it at that kind of suggests that might be her only reason for wanting it legalised/without it she'd have been in favour of it remaining illegal :/
