Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980

The **Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980** is an Act o the Pairlament o the Unitit Kinrick (citation 1980 c.62) concernin Scotland alane. It is the law thit decriminalised homosexual acts atween twa consentin men in the kintra, an cam intae force on 1 Februar 1981.

"Subject to the provisions of this section, a homosexual act in private shall not be an offence provided that the parties consent thereto and have attained the age of twenty-one years." (§80:1)

The law had a gey bit o support frae the kintra at lairge, especially amang the youth; a *[[Sunday Mail]]* survey o 1979 sayd thit twa-thirds o young Scots supported reform. Howsoever, it wis opponed bi monie kirk an civic leaders. The homosexual age o consent fixed bi the Act (21) wis ilka tae the homosexual age o consent in Ingland an Wales (exponed in the the Sexual Offences Act, whilk decriminalised homosexual acts in these pairts in 1967) but wis heicher than the age o consent fae heterosexual fowk in the Unitit Kinrick as a hale (16 yeir auld, as exponed in the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885). 

## Legacy
Follaein the passage o the Act, the Kirk began tae liberalise its views on homosexuality (altho still sayin that sex atween men wis sin).

The ages o consent for baith homosexual and heterosexual acts in Scotland eventually becam the same (16) wi the passage o the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000.

Norlin Airlan wus tha last airt o tha Unitit Kinrick tae decriminalise homosexual ects in private. Tha homosexual age o consent fixed bi tha Order (21) wus heicher than tha heterosexual age o consent in tha rest o Norlin Airlan  whilk haed bin set at 17 fur decades  but tha age wus ilka tae tha Scots (as o 1980) an Inglis (as o 1967) laa on homosexuality. Tha ages o consent fur homosexual an heterosexual ects in Norlin Airlan wur eventually equalised at 17 bi tha Pairlament o tha Unitit Kinrick wi tha passin o tha Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000.

Tae bring Northern Ireland in line wi tha rest o tha Unitit Kinrick, tha Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008 reduced tha age o consent (baith straight an gay) tae 16.

Noo led bi Edwin Poots, it haes, bi a nairae margin o yin, tha maist seats in tha Norlin Airlan Assemlie an is tha fift-lairgest pairty in tha Hoose o Commons o tha Unitit Kinrick

Tha DUP evolvit frae tha Protestant Unionist Party an haes historically strang links tae tha Free Presbyterian Kirk o Ulster, tha kirk Paisley foondit. Durin tha Truibils, tha DUP war opponed tae pouer-sharin wi Erse naitionalists tae redd up tha conflict, an likeweys rejectit attempts tae inrowe tha Republic o Ireland intae Norlin Erse affairs.  It campaignit agin tha Sunningdale Greeance o 1985, an tha Guid Fryday Greeance o 1998. In 2006, tha DUP co-signit tha St Andras Greeance an agreit tae share pouer wi tha republican Sinn Féin wha agreit tae support tha polis service, coorts, an rule o laa.

Save Ulster from Sodomy

**Save Ulster from Sodomy** (*Sauf Ulstèr frae Sodomy*) wus a political campaign launched in 1977 bi Ian Paisley, MP, then leader o tha Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) an tha Free Presbyterian Kirk o Ulster, tae prevene tha decriminalisation o homosexuality in Norlin Airlan. Tha campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, an homosexuality wus decriminalised (in pairt) in Norlin Airlan in 1982.

## Background
Homosexual acts began tae be decriminalisit in Ingland an Wales unner tha Sexual Offences Act 1967.  Thir change in law didnae apply tae tha separate legal jurisdictions o Norlin Airlan an Scotland. In 1975 tha Northern Ireland Gay Rights Association (*Norlin Airlan Gey Richts Associe)* wus foondit tae campaign fur ilka legislation fur Norlin Airlan.  In repone tae tha govrenment's proposal tae consider laa reform, Paisley launchit Save Ulster From Sodomy, a campaign gien a further boost whan decriminalisation wus extendit tae Scotland in 1980. Tha campaign wus basit oan his belief thit tha Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin, whit should tharefore nae be legally acceptable in a state foundit oan Christian principles.

LGBT richts in Norlin Airlan war restrictit in accordance tae tha deeply conservative natèr o society at thit time. Anti-Catholicism inflected misogynist attitudes an vice versa, wi Paisley callin tha Catholic Kirk tha "*mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth*". Catholic iconography includit comparatively mair female figures than thit o tha Protestant Kirk, like Kathleen Ni Houlihan an tha Virgin Mary. At tha time o tha campaign, violent attacks again gay men in Norlin Airlan war common.

## Organisation
Tha campaign itsel wus particularly linkit tae tha Free Presbyterian wing o tha DUP, an jynt religious an poleetical rhetoric. It focusit oan Paisley's belief in his role tae save tha Ulstèr fowk frae thaim influences whit he believit underminit thair Christian beliefs an values, namely liberalism an secularism.

As pairt o tha campaign, advertisements war placit in newspapers claimin thit ony change in tha laa "*can only bring God's curse down upon our people*".  Tha group recruitit 70,000 members tae jyn tha campaign mostly thru ootreach tae Kirk attendees.

## End
In 1981 tha European Coort o Human Richts in tha case o *[[Jeffrey Dudgeon v the United Kingdom]]*, foond that tha Breetish Govrenment wus in breach of Airticle 8 (tha right tae a private life) o tha European Convention oan Human Richts bi refusing tae decriminalise homosexual acts atween consentin adults in Norlin Airlan. Consequently, in tha mauger o Paisley's campaign, homosexual acts in Norlin Airlan wus decriminalised (in pairt) in 1982.
