Llandwi Brefi was ma famo by the BBC televisn seri Ltle Bra where the character Daffyd Thomas (the only gay the village played by Matt Lus) lived. The only gay the village beme a hoehold phrase the UK thanks to the long nng Ltle Bra s TV and rad seri (which has been broadst by the BBC sce 2000).

Daffyd Thomas claimed to be the only gay person a small, Welsh village (actually he wasn’t), but some rpects his tchphrase reflected the isolatn that many people the LGBTI muni experience – eher their personal or profsnal liv. One eveng, we had a discsn about discrimatn on the grounds of a person’s sexual orientatn – particularly the ntext of the ban on gay and lbian people servg the UK Armed Forc.

One of the stunts asked me what protectn existed for gay and lbian people employment law generally. The late 1960s are often referred to as the key perd of the start of gay liberatn the UK wh the passg of the Sexual Offenc Act 1967 which crimalised homosexual relatnships between nsentg adults (aged 21 or over) and as long as such nduct was private. Homosexual relatnships were crimalised Stland 1980; Northern Ireland 1982; the UK Crown Depenncy of Guernsey 1983; the UK Crown Depenncy of Jersey 1990; and the UK Crown Depenncy of the Isle of Man 1994.

Article 19 extend legal protectn to gay and lbian people more generally – over and above the limed areas of employment and votnal trag which the Treaty of Amsterdam and the Employment Equaly Directive had origally addrsed. Another massive step forward for the equaly of the LGBTI muny was the troductn of the Civil Partnerships Act 2004 which would give legal regnn (and protectn) to gay and lbian people who chose to enter such relatnships.
