Summary: Homosexual Law Changes (Press, 11 June 1985)
In a letter published on 11 June 1985, a writer named G. H. Boston raises questions about the impact of legal changes on sexual orientation within a population. The letter addresses Mark Sadler and comments on the ongoing discussions surrounding potential reforms to the law. Boston expresses confusion over the belief that laws can directly influence or change an individual's sexual orientation, questioning whether it is possible for laws to affect emotional and moral views. Boston points out that it seems counterintuitive to expect that legal changes can dictate personal feelings and identities, likening the situation to attempting to make a cart pull a horse. The letter hints at a sense of alarm or resistance that some individuals may feel towards legal reforms concerning sexual orientation and suggests that their fears might stem from feeling threatened by these changes. The writer calls for further clarification and understanding regarding the relationship between law and personal identity.
