A comparison between homosexual males in two Australian states, Victoria (prior to decriminalization of homosexuality) and South Australia (eight years after decriminalization), indicated that the consequences of decriminalization did not include an increase in the negative aspects of homosexuality, such as public solicitation or sexually transmitted disease. Findings suggest that as a consequence of decriminalization, the psychological adjustment of homosexual men will increase and sexually transmitted diseases and public solicitation will decrease. These data are tentatively interpreted as indicating that there are few if any negative consequences of decriminalizing homosexuality, and a number of positive consequences.
对澳大利亚两个州的男同性恋者进行的比较研究发现，在维多利亚州（同性恋非罪化之前）和南澳大利亚州（同性恋非罪化八年后），非罪化的结果并不包括同性恋负面情况的增加，比如公开拉客或性传播疾病。研究结果表明，非罪化的结果是，男同性恋者的心理调适会增强，性传播疾病和公开拉客行为会减少。这些数据初步解释为，同性恋非罪化即便有负面影响也微乎其微，且有诸多积极影响。
