Unidad documental simple I606 - The State has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

In 1969 Parliament acted up the principle that “the state has no business in the bedroom of the nation.” The Criminal Code was amended to decriminalize sexual acts between consenting adults in private. Today the clear intent of Parliament is being flagrantly disregarded. Police are violating individual privacy by raiding homes, bars, baths and private clubs….To end the renewed harassment of gay men and lesbians and to reaffirm its intent to protect the right to privacy of al consenting adults, we urge Parliament to repeal the bawdy house provisions as part of its present reform of the criminal code.
