Decriminalisation made it possible for homosexuals to organise blatently into a powerful lobby, and it thus became a mere platform from which further demands were launched. This immediately proceeded with demands for equality, in which homosexuality was officially placed on the same moral level as standard forms of sexuality, and the dismissal of identified homosexuals from sensitive positions, eg: schools, children’s homes, etc., became progressively more difficult. This was followed by demands not merely for equality but privilege: 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 they found objectionable, special rights to proselytise, and not least the privilege of special programmes to put forward their views – including the elimination of the remaining legal constraints – on radio and television.
