question about homosexuality as a crime

[(Anonymous)]

What I would like to know is how homosexuality was handeled as a crime back then. What exactly was punishable and what would the punishment have been? Was there anything gay one could have done without fearing punishment?

Here's an article about "Downton Abbey" and how Thomas Barrow's homosexuality was handled, https://www.bustle.com/articles/62849-was-it-illegal-to-be-gay-in-1920s-england-or-is-thomas-barrows-struggle-on-downton

Personally, I feel that Oscar Wilde is used much too much in Jooster fanfic. He wasn't the only gay man punished for being gay.

This post got me interested in Downton Abbey and now I'm addicted to that show. It's all your fault. 😋
