0:15:29 > 0:15:34- ..homosexuality was decriminalized - in Wales and England.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- The BBC drama, Against The Law - is based on Peter Wildeblood.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- The journalist was prosecuted - for being gay in the 1950s...

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- It also contains emotional evidence - of a generation of gay men...
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- ..who lived in suffering before - the law was changed 50 years ago.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- We have to be a lot more careful.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- It was frowned upon by society.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- It was punishable by imprisonment.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- It's almost unimaginable and dates - back to Oscar Wilde's trial in 1895.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41- It was illegal for gay men - to have sex with each other.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- It was illegal and you couldn't live - a public life with your partner.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- It was a sin!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Imagine living like that, - living a lie...
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- ..knowing your preferences but - not being able to talk about it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06- Take us back to 1967 when you were - an innocent 22-year-old man.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Can you explain the situation - at the time?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- It was people's attitudes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20- Everything you read in the papers - was very grim for a gay person.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- This is why I kept almost - every aspect of my life a secret...
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- ..because I feared - that it would affect my career.
0:17:30 > 0:17:37- Did you ever confide in friends - or family prior to 1967?
0:17:38 > 0:17:45- I remember a boy in school in - Gowerton and he's still alive.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- He showed a lot of love for me.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- I didn't announce it to the world...
0:17:52 > 0:18:02- ..but it was a lovely example - of men showing love for one another.
0:18:03 > 0:18:12- I feel lucky to live and have - equality in terms of the law.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- This isn't true for the whole world - and there's a still lot to overcome.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- We have to thank historic figures - such as Peter Wildeblood.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- If it wasn't for his honesty...
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- ..and bravery of speaking about his - experiences at Wormwood Scrubs...
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- ..then I couldn't live the life - that I'm leading.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- If there was any way of getting rid - of it, I should only be too pleased.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- It has been a handicap to me that - led to loneliness and unhappiness.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51- Even after 1967, some 15,000 - were prosecuted and punished.
0:18:51 > 0:18:58- I think the act - helped to unite gay people.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04- I was living in Cardiff at the time - and was quite stealth-like...
0:19:04 > 0:19:10- ..as I went into certain shops - that sold The Gay Times...
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- ..because I wanted - to follow the campaign.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24- The paper was brave to have columns - for people to contact each other.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- It was against the law.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- The headline read - Love Doesn't Recognize Any Law.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- When I was at school, we weren't - equal in the eyes of the law.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48- The age of consent didn't drop - from 21 to 18 until 1994.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- It didn't fall to the common age - of consent to 16 until 2001.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- I wasn't equal in the eyes - of the law when I was at school.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05- Since that time, there's been - a number of political changes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12- These days, we can marry and - had civil partnerships in 2004...
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- ..but had to wait to 2013 - before we could marry.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Adoption laws have also changed.
0:20:22 > 0:20:29- This has affected my life because my - partner and I have adopted children.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- It was a no, no - so I had to be on my own.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- I've been used to it - since childhood, being a loner.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47- I never enjoyed it, it was awful - but that's the way it is.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53- It's important to understand - what gay people have endured.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- There are still Welsh people - of my age...
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- ..who are afraid to show - that they are gay.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09- They are lonely, angry and bitter.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- A lot of people still exist and it's - a shame that they are suffering.
