It is not a long time ago since people who where gay was thrown in to prison for being so and called a criminal. Now the law has changed and I am thankful for that! But many of these people who were criminalized have never received an apology. Neither has George Montague whom I met during my first Pride in Manchester 2 years ago and I also had the honor of interviewing this man for my blog. He is also the author of the book “The Oldest Gay in The Village”. A recommended book to read.
The witch hunt that the police lead against the Homosexuals in those days can nearly be compared with Hitlers treatment of the Jews. There is no way this can just pass by without George and other victims of it getting an apology from the days when they got arrested, got an criminal record and was named and shamed for just being gay!
George Montague turns 93 years old soon, and he is fit like a 20 year old man. He works out and keeps himself in tip top shape everyday by lifting weights and exercising. But a man at his very respectable age deserve to get an apology!
I wish to get more people engaged in this case and fight for these people who were arrested and convicted for gross indecency and called pedophiles to make the authorities come with an official apology to them.
For it is against the Homosexual the crime has been done not the other way around.
