I'd like to point out, that certain laws against gays/lesbians are unfeasable simply because it is difficult to detect who is homosexual by sight. That's not to say that legislators didn't want to segregate the gay population, but perhaps they (a) found it difficult to implement or (b) believed being gay was a choice whilst being black wasn't, thus they could put gay men in asylums (common in England) whilst no amount of 'mental discipline' would change someone race.
