The 'Tynwald', the Isle of Man's independent legislature, has voted to bring the homosexual age of consent into line with that of heterosexuals on the island, simultaneously scrapping rules stopping the discussion of homosexuality in schools on the island between teacher and pupil.
no doubt some in the Tynwald were dragged kicking and screaming here.
I still remember a slightly odd holiday we had in St Mary's back in the early 1960's where we were the only residents in the hotel. Going from Southport (home!) to the Isle of Man still felt a bit of a step back in time(!)
.. well the latter half of the 20th century...

Robert, thanks for drawing my attention to this. It's about time that section 38 was repealed, but the fact that the government of the land of my birth has taken so long over it doesn't surprise me one little bit.
