H.L.A. Hart supported the Wolfenden Report, which recommended the decriminalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults. He believed that the law should not intrude into private moral choices, emphasizing the importance of individual liberty and the distinction between private morality and public law. Hart argued that the state has no right to regulate personal behavior that does not harm others, advocating for a more tolerant and liberal approach to issues of sexuality.

This year (2007) was the 40th anniversary of the partial decriminalization of male homosexuality in Britain. Thus much attention has been given -- in essays, reports, and even TV dramas -- to the Wolfenden Commission (chaired by Jeremy's father) and the Wolfenden Report that the commission issued. It was this Home Office report that recommended decriminalization. Lord Wolfenden's gay son, Jeremy, was a major figure in a 2007 BBC docudrama about the Wolfenden Commission titled "Consenting Adults," and has been mentioned in some news coverage of the anniversary.
Matthew Wolfenden's birth name is Matthew Ian Wolfenden.
The Wolfenden report, after Lord Wolfenden, the chairman of the committee, was the Report of the Departmental Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution , published in Britain on 4 September 1957 after a succession of well-known men, including Peter Wildeblood, were convicted of homosexual offences. The report's recommendations attracted considerable public debate, including a famous exchange of views in publications by Lord Devlin, a leading British judge, whose speeches and publications argued against the report's philosophical basis, and H.L.A. Hart, a leading jurisprudential scholar, who provided argument in its support.
