You're right, she did, and she was convicted. The appeals process allowed the conviction to be overturned.
In this case the guy isn't appealing the conviction, he isn't even denying the act. He simply wants it removed.

The fact that someone in the UK must've hated homos enough to make a law, so this guy should have to suffer.
Word it how you want, the fact remains that he willing decided to break the law, so yes, he should pay the consequences.
It has nothing to do with the homosexuality, it has to do with committing a crime and paying for it.
I'm sorry if my opinion is a little too "black and white" for people but that's how it is.
Except that in this country at least, pardons by executives in office exist for this very reason; to remove unjust and undeserved convictions and their stigma. This law should have never existed and ANYONE convicted under it should receive an official pardon having it expunged from their record, and an apology from said official. It isn't a hard concept to grasp. You may live in a black and white world, but gray areas do exist and need to be addressed.
