============================================
Patrick Trevor-Roper
In 1955, he appeared before the Wolfenden Committee, which was set up to look into the question of homosexual offenses. At this time, any homosexual activity between males was illegal.
His testimony helped persuade the committee to recommend that male homosexuality should be decriminalized, which was finally done, after a long political struggle, in 1967.
T-R remained an active gay rights activist and was one of the founders of the Terrence Higgins Trust, the UK’s leading AIDS service organization. He also campaigned for the abolition of the discriminatory age of consent laws.
Life and career
He was born in Northumberland, England in 1916. He was the son of a doctor and the brother of historian Hugh Trevor-Roper. After the war, he became a specialist in ophthalmic surgery and divided his working life between work in public hospitals and lucrative private practice in London.
In 1955 Trevor-Roper agreed to appear as a witness before the Wolfenden Committee, which had been appointed by the British government to investigate (among other things) whether male homosexuality should remain a crime. He was one of only three men who could be found to appear as openly gay witnesses before the Committee.
The others were the journalist Peter Wildeblood (who had been convicted of a homosexual offense in a show trial two years earlier) and Carl Winter, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This was a brave thing to do in those days. Trevor-Roper and Winter came forward because they wanted to counteract the bad impression they knew Wildeblood would make.
Trevor-Roper told the Wolfenden Committee that the majority of gay men led normal and well-adjusted lives, posed no threat to children or public morality and that homosexuality was not a physical or mental illness. He pointed out that the existing laws did nothing but encourage blackmailers. He argued that the age of consent should be lowered to 16, and told the committee that many young gay men committed or attempted suicide because of isolation or depression induced by homophobia.
These were highly controversial views in the 1950s. Trevor-Roper's testimony helped persuade the Committee to recommend that male homosexuality should be decriminalized, which was finally done, after a long political struggle, in 1967.
Trevor-Roper remained an active gay rights activist, campaigning in particular for the abolition of the discriminatory age of consent laws. (The 1967 law set the age of consent for male homosexuals at 21, while the heterosexual age of consent was 16.)
When the AIDS epidemic appeared in the early 1980s, Trevor-Roper was one of the founders of the Terrence Higgins Trust, the United Kingdom's leading AIDS service organization, which held its first meeting at his home.
The other cause to which Trevor-Roper devoted himself was better access to ophthalmic medicine, both in the United Kingdom and in African countries.
He campaigned successfully for the repeal of British laws which prevented the sale of cheap spectacles, against the resistance of the opticians' lobby. In 1983, he helped finance Peter Risdon in his successful challenge to the opticians' monopoly in the UK, a challenge that led directly to the legalization of the sale of reading glasses without prescription.
He founded the Haile Selassie Eye Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and assisted in the founding of similar hospitals in Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Trevor-Roper was a lover of architecture and active in heritage conservation causes in the United Kingdom at a time when this was not a fashionable cause.
In his 1970 book The World Through Blunted Sight, revised in 1988, he explored how faulty or failing eyesight affected the style and technique of writers and artists. Looking at the effects of myopia, cataracts, color blindness, squints and total blindness he speculated on what the impact would have been on artists had they worn glasses.
He stated in a self-written obituary he prepared for the British Medical Journal, and which fails to do him justice, that “he enjoyed tilting at social prejudices within his reach.”
A gentle, dithery, sometimes impatient man, he had an endless sense of fun. He was interested in the young and was said to have a magical way with them. He was chairman or president of many medical students' clubs by popular acclaim.
He retired on weekends to Long Crichel House, Dorset, a sort of post-Bloomsbury center for a group of like-minded writers, a circle which included Raymond Mortimer, literary critic for the Times, and Desmond Shawe-Taylor, music critic for the Sunday Times.
Here he produced a series of books from 1955 through 1981. They enjoyed several editions and many translations. For 38 years he was an editor of the Transactions of the Ophthalmological Society UK, which was renamed Eye when the society became the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
He had a huge number of friends and mixed in cultured circles that included the composer Benjamin Britten, the writers Angus Wilson and Christopher Isherwood, the artist Francis Bacon, and the actors Julie Christie and Helena Bonham-Carter. He spent Christmases at Chatsworth with the Devonshires. He traveled widely, to destinations including Borneo, Nigeria, Malawi, and the Falklands. His traveling companions included Ian Fleming's widow, Anne, and the marchioness of Dufferin.
In the 1960s he campaigned against what he called the venal manipulations of drug companies—in particular, the bogus conferences they ran at attractive destinations, where speakers would present papers endorsing the companies' new products.
In the subsequent decade, he campaigned successfully against the opticians' monopoly of the sale of reading glasses. The opticians presumably forgave him, as he attended their annual dinners as a liveryman of the company. He was a trustee of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture. The HIV/AIDS charity The Terrence Higgins Trust was founded at his house and was run from there until it expanded into larger premises.
Patrick Trevor-Roper was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease in 2003. In 2004 he developed cancer in his neck. He succumbed in April of that year.
He is survived by Herman Chan, his partner of many years.
