Oh, no, no, no!

As a follow-up to yesterday's post - there is a story, I can't vouch for its truth but it's been around for a good long time - that the original Offences Against the Person Act of 1861, which made all homosexual activity between men unlawful, also did the same for women, but when the draft Act was shown to Queen Victoria, she said she would refuse to sign it unless the references to women were taken out, on the grounds that she refused to believe that women "did that sort of thing".
