Homosexual activity in Gibraltar is legal.
Subsequent laws, such as the Labouchere Amendment (Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885), redefined the offence and allowed for other punishments. For example, Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years' hard labour in 1895, and in 1952, Alan Turing was chemically castrated.
Female homosexuality and sexual acts were not addressed in the law, and therefore, they technically would have been legal, though the law often applied to women.
It was replaced in whole by the Offences Against the Person Act 1828, which carried the same punishment until repealed in 1861.
