When Homosexuality Was a Crime

BBC World Service - The History Hour, When Homosexuality Was a Crime

The horrific use of aversion therapy for gay men; plus Chiang Kai Shek's former aide.

The horrific use of aversion therapy to "cure" homosexuality in 1960s Britain; plus a 99-year-old former aide to Chiang Kai Shek; and ending communal housing in the former USSR.

Comedian and broadcaster Pete Price speaks about being subjected to horrific aversion therapy to "cure" him of his homosexuality in 1960s Britain. Plus the 99-year-old former aide to the Chinese nationalist leader, Chiang Kai Shek, a radical new approach to housing in the former USSR, the perils of deep sea commercial diving in the North Sea and how the Welsh fought for recognition of their language.
