Gay People in Legal History
posted: 21/01/2010
LGBT History month is in February and the Ministry of Justice with the National Archives take a historical look at 'LGBT in Justice.'
It's a presentation about the history of laws used against the LGBT communities from The Buggery Act 1533, the reform proposals in the 1957 Wolfenden Report, the first reforms in the Sexual Offences Act 1967, up to this year's proposals in the Equality Bill, now being debated in Parliament.
After the presentation, you will have a chance to say what you think about how the courts and tribunals in England & Wales deal with LGBT customers.
When and Where?
It's on Wednesday February 10th 1.30-4.00pm and Thursday February 11th 10.30am-1pm at the sparkling new Manchester Civil Justice Centre, in Spinningfields, off Deansgate, Manchester.
Manchester Civil Justice Centre 1 Bridge Street West, Manchester M60 9DJ

They are keen to welcome representatives of local LGBT support groups to help the Ministry of Justice understand better how to support people who are LBGT.
