This page says homosexual activity has been legal in the UK since 2000.

Where is it getting that, and which part of the UK does it apply to?

Same sex sexual activity was legalised in England and Wales in 1967; in Scotland in 1981; and 1982 for NI.

The age of consent was equalised in 2001 (for England, Wales, and Scotland) and 2009 for NI.

If you look at each country individually within the UK, it shows the correct details.

I suspect it is because in the original law, there were nuances such as "The privacy restrictions of the Act meant a third person could not be present and that gay men could not have sex in a hotel. These restrictions were overturned in the European Court of Human Rights in 2000"

I'm looking into that right now. Not sure why both of those entries are referring to the age of consent rather than simply homosexual activity being legal/illegal (the both received quite a few accurate votes too). Age of consent has a separate section further down the page.

If you click on "Details" under the entry it'll show you the source, the user who added it, and the number of upvotes. It seems to be crowdsourced.
