Decriminalisation made it possible for us gay people to organise into a powerful kind of lobby, and we thus became a strong platform from which further demands were launched. This immediately proceeded with demands for equality, in which homosexuality was finally placed on the same moral level as other forms of sexuality, and the dismissal of identified homosexuals from sensitive positions, eg: schools, children' homes, etc., became progressively more difficult. This was followed by demands not merely for equality but other important issues: the appointment, for instance, of homosexual quotas in local government, the excision from school textbooks and curricula, and university courses, passages or books or authors we found objectionable, the rights to express ourselves, and not least the privilege of special programmes to put forward our views ' including the elimination of the remaining legal constraints on radio and television.
