- Date is incorrect "The 1932 act was announced on 1932-07-11, published on 1932-07-15, and entered into force on 1932-09-01, not in 1945.

I'm also not sure if it makes sense keeping the date 1970 just because of the penalization of homosexual prostitution, using this logic homosexual activity should still be marked as illegal in the US."
