the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 criminalised sex between men but not women, the story goes that no-one could convince queen victoria that sex between women happened, or could bring themselves to discuss it when she totally dismissed the idea.

It wasn't repealed until 1967
I'm fairly sure the story is wrong. As far as I know, that Act was about sex between men only before it went to Queen Victoria. I'm not sure if the people who made law just didn't see sex between women as a problem (probably based on selective reading of bad translations of the Christian bible) or if the social rules amongst them forbade any voicing of the idea that decent women had any sex drive - and if they didn't, they wouldn't be having sex with each other, therefore there was no need to make law about it.
