But "discreet homosexuality is the private business of the individual rather than a subject for public regulation"; prohibition of "the crime against nature," as many statute books coyly phrase it, merely raises the homosexual's vulnerability to blackmail and "exacerbates" his mental-health problems. The commission recommends that the U.S. follow the example of England, which two years...
