Hear from the politicians who argued for human rights and the law reform which led to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1992. In this episode, commentator and former journalist Alistair Ramsay examines the reputational damage and the first Chief Minister Sir Miles Walker reflects on the debates which eventually brought the Island in line with the United Kingdom. Almost 30 years later, MHKs now are looking at a proposal to pardon those still living with criminal records, but will the legal gesture go far enough?
