Chief Minister apologises for homosexual convictions

Tue, 28 Jan 2020


The Chief Minister has made an historic statement in the House of Keys this morning.

Howard Quayle apologised to any men who had been convicted for homosexual activity before the law was changed on the Island in 1994.

Mr Quayle made the apology during the third reading of the Sexual Offences and Obscene Publications Bill.

The bill was passed unanimously and will allow for individual pardons.
