Get yer filthy laws off my body!
Description
Red circular badge with yellow text reading "Get yer filthy laws off my body!" in a stylised serif font. The phrase referred to the then-unequal age of consent for gay men. The age of consent was finally lowered to the equal age of 16 in 2000 in England, Scotland and Wales, and 2001 in Northern Ireland.
