[edit] confused

First, I'd like to see some references on this article.

Secondly, I'm confused as to what this article has to do with gay rights? The opening sentence says that there are no "sodomy laws". But then the article goes on about sexual grooming. There does not seem to be any indication here that these laws apply to only homosexual relations. In fact they seem to be concerned with sex between minors and adults. of any sex.

Can someone clear this up, edit it so it's on topic or Afd it? --Monotonehell 08:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right, apart from the no-sodomy-laws phrase, there's nothing about gay rights here. Needs lots of work. --Textorus 08:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I was looking for information about laws concerning sexual behavior on the Isle of Man, and found this very useful. I don't understand your concern. No laws against homosexual behavior, and laws against discrimination in employment seems like "everything" that has to do with gay rights. I would also like to know about same sex marriage too. The only problem I see with the article is that there is more to say. I hope a lawyer from the Isle of Man will give more information, and that a gay resident will write about gay life there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.25.108.12 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
