It was the same with the gay community 51% of the population said it's OK so you don't have to go to jail anymore.
Is that actually how the law was changed?.
It was an absolutely ridiculous law.
The treatment of Alan Turing for example was disgusting. That man made an almost incalculable contribution to saving this country in WW11 with decoding Enigma.
OK he avoided jail, but had to accept chemical treatment instead.
Shameful episode.

Of course, it never really happened like that. Over a time period, those significant and influential gay people who are in significant numbers, and influential positions, have moulded modern society to reflect their preferences and interests. Its called manipulation.

There is an element of the above which has a bearing on the issue being discussed, but, it is just a bearing and not the whole picture, we live in a democracy and just like BREXIT like it or lump it democracy is at play in all decisions that are made on social and moral issues.
