Along with Patrick Trevor-Roper and Peter Wildeblood, Winter gave evidence to the Wolfenden Committee, whose report led in 1967 to the decriminalization of sex between adult male homosexuals. He gave evidence anonymously as "Mr White". His testimony to the Committee has been portrayed on-screen in the BBC dramatisation, ''Consenting Adults''. == References == * ‘WINTER, Carl’, Who Was Who, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2015; online edn, Oxford University Press, 2014 ; online edn, April 2014 (accessed 24 Oct 2015 ) * (Carl Winter ), Trinity College Chapel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Winter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
