What did the Victorians know about desire between men? Was it really 'the love that dare not speak its name'? Nameless Offences argues that even before Oscar Wilde and the rise of sexual science there was an open, public and concerted discussion of same-sex desire that went to the heart of Victorian notions of masculinity, civil society, class and identity. How did homosexuality come to be known as a 'secret vice', consigned to a secret place - the closet - when contemporaries regularly described its existence as widespread, threatening and even notorious? Nameless Offences asks where the closet came from and how the English learned to describe that which was 'nameless' and indescribable in this way. This groundbreaking book offers the definitive portrait of male homosexuality in the nineteenth century and includes many perceptive insights into what it reveals about the interaction between public and private morality which lay at the heart of Victorian England. 'Nameless Offences is a cogently argued and well-written book which contributes importantly to our understanding of the history of the legal regulation of sexual behavior between men in the 19th century...I cannot do justice...to the richness of his historical narrative...[he] has found gems of narrative detail...and woven them into a persuasive analysis.' - Morris B. Kaplan, Associate Professor of Philosophy, State University of New York

"Disregarding the conventional ideas of the day, the committee recommended that "homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private should no longer be a criminal offence". All but James Adair were in favour of this and, contrary to some medical and psychiatric witnesses' evidence at that time, found that "homosexuality cannot legitimately be regarded as a disease, because in many cases it is the only symptom and is compatible with full mental health in other respects." The report added, "The law's function is to preserve public order and decency, to protect the citizen from what is offensive or injurious, and to provide sufficient safeguards against exploitation and corruption of others ... It is not, in our view, the function of the law to intervene in the private life of citizens, or to seek to enforce any particular pattern of behaviour." The recommended age of consent was 21 (the age of majority in the UK then). The report also discussed the rise in street prostitution at the time, which it associated with "community instability" and "weakening of the family". As a result, there was a police crackdown on street prostitution following the report."--Wikipedia, 12/10/15

First published in 1996. The Homosexual(ity) of Law is an innovative and important investigation of the legal representation of identity and sexuality. This wide-ranging and theoretical study demands that we think again about the legal regulation of sexual relations. It examines how both sense and nonsense of same-sex relations are made in law by way of ‘homosexual’. It explores how the introduction of an idea of homosexuality both promotes the continued abhorrence and increased punishment of same-sex relations and makes possible reforms in the law that promote respect for these relations. This study investigates the struggles that surround the review of the law on ‘homosexuality’ undertaken by the Wolfenden Committee in the 1950s and explores the peculiarities of the enactment of the term ‘homosexual’ into the law of England in 1967. It challenges the current understanding that ‘homosexual’ is either a term used to name a specific category of act or a term that is merely used to name an identity. The Homosexual(ity) of Law shows how ‘homosexual’ is a term that signifies both of these things, but it is also capable of expressing many other meanings. It explores the values that are given a voice through this new term in law. It also demonstrates that ‘homosexual’ in law is a reference to a complex technology of interrogation, surveillance and documentation that isolates gestures, speech and deportment and gives them meaning as ‘homosexual’ in law. Through an analysis of various police practices, the day-to-day decisions of the judiciary in high profile test cases and recent Parliamentary debates relating to the age of consent law reform, The Homosexual(ity) of Law explores the way this ‘homosexual(ity)’ is put to use in current legal practice.

Based on the 2005 Oxford Clarendon Lectures in Law, this book deals with the remarkable change in society's attitude to homosexuality over the last half century. Until 1967 homosexual acts were punished by the criminal law and as recently as 1988 Parliament forbade teachers from suggesting that homosexuality was an acceptable family relationship. In 2005 Parliament passed the Civil Partnership Act, which creates a framework in which same-sex couples can have their relationship legally recognised in much the same way as marriage. This book looks at the essentials of the civil partnerships contruct, and asks whether it is really creating an institution of 'gay marriage'? If not, the next question to ask is whether civil partnership can satisfy the demands for equality increasingly being made by the gay community? In the United States, the courts have taken an active and progressive stance, holding that to deny marriage to same sex couples and leave them with mere partnership is to create a 'separate but equal' situation historically associated with the racial discrimination now universally recognised as unconstitutional and morally unjustifiable. However, the political climate has risen to a fever pitch with the current administration's push for constitutional amendment to ban outright gay marriage. In the UK the courts have been less activist, but the potential creation of a Supreme Court raises important questions about the boundaries between the roles of judiciary, the legislature, and government; and whether the judiciary should play a more constitutionally active role than has thus far been traditional?
