Summary: U.k. Labour ‘gay’ Vote (Press, 5 October 1985)
On 5 October 1985, the British Labour Party held its conference in Bournemouth, England, where a significant vote took place in support of "gay" rights. The party decided to advocate for a reduction in the age of homosexual consent from 21 to 16. This decision came after strong backing from influential male-dominated unions, including miners and transport workers, who used their block votes to support the gay rights activists campaigning for equal legal rights for lesbians and homosexuals.
