Aid For Consents Repeal Urged In Law Against Homosexuals
A federal task force of 14 experts appointed by the National Institute of Mental Health urges repeal of laws criminalizing homosexual acts between consenting adults. It calls for changes in government rules and private sector policies that bar homosexuals from employment, arguing reforms would reduce emotional stress and improve mental health among millions of adults. The report notes enduring social harm from criminal statutes and stresses that public decency rules would not be affected where sexual acts involve minors or violate public norms.
