British Observation List
Posted by Meredith on Aug 24, 2005 at 03:15PM in News Reports - permalink

Interesting admission: Britain's Royal Air Force kept records on suspected lesbians during the 20th century. Radclyffe Hall, the famous author of The Well of Loneliness, was one of the earlier targets; in 1920 she was nearly charged with "obscene libel and corruption of minors." The record-keeping continued all the way through to the 1990s.
