YOUR TELNO 167: EMPLOYMENT OF HOMOSEXUALS IN CIVIL SERVICE
1.
WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR CLARIFICATION OF POSITION ON FEMALE HOMOSEXUALS. IN PARTICULAR WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR THE VIEW THAT FEMALES MAY THEORETICALLY BE CONVICTED FOR WHAT ARE KNOWN IN GENERAL TERMS AS 'HOMOSEXUAL OFFENCES'? IS IT POSSIBLE TO ARGUE CONVINCINGLY THAT IN THEIR CASE, AS WITH MALES, THE GOVERNMENT IS SIMPLY ENSURING THAT THEY DO NOT EMPLOY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BROKEN,
OR ARE IN DANGER OF BREAKING THE LAW?
