Overall: The article is sourced OK; the plot section does not need a citation. No other concerns. This is an interesting article for me in the UK, because the legal history has been different from that in the US. Male-male relationships were made illegal in Queen Victoria's time (but legalised in the 1960s), but the story goes that Victoria would not agree to female-female relationships being illegal because, she supposedly said, "women don't do that". Thus lesbianism was not illegal in the UK. It is saddening that some mothers were suffering in the US courts, and that makes this a worthwhile article. Storye book (talk) 11:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
