Still vexes me how they had the audacity to describe loving relationships as "pretended family". Pretended! How dare they.

I am ashamed to live in the UK in this timeline with #transphobia being forced upon society by a tiny bigoted minority.

I genuinely donโ€™t think this #EHRC ruling is what most people want.

It will be looked on as the #Section28 of its day.

Shame on all politicians of all stripes that brought us here.

You see, when you fuck over as many people as Margaret Thatcher did, people will be dancing on your grave for many, many years.

'Section 28' you bitch!

#Section28 caused real harm. It erased lives, denied support, and left lasting shame and silence that many are still living with today. Please sign and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on #LGBTQ people. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Petition: Launch a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on LGBTQ people

We call on the Government to launch a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 of the Local Government Act (1988) which specified that Local Authorities could not intentionally promote, through material or teaching, homosexuality or same-sex relationships as a 'pretended family relationshipโ€™

Petitions - UK Parliament and UK Government

This looks hugely important โ€“ the Section 28 Justice Coalition.
If you live in the UK, please consider signing the petition to get a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on LGBTQ people โ€“ the link should be on their website.

There's also an opportunity to write a letter to Section 28 โ€“ I've just submitted a short one.

Dear Section 28

Collecting letters to Section 28, the law that banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools for fifteen years.

@Geri Thank you for fighting Section 28. It stole my Queer youth and most Brits looked the other way. I can never forgive them for that.

Thank you all for trying, most didn't....and I had my queer youth stolen from me because of it.
Trying to fit in with you Straights for a quiet life, did not make me a happy boy as it turned out.
It wasn't until the 21st century when Tony Blair finally got round to undoing this travesty, so fuck him for his slackness, but most of all fuck Thatcher for fucking over my Youth.
You don't forgive shit like that.
Ever.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1988, a #Manchester march against #MargaretThatcher's #homophobia attracted 20,000 participants. #Section28 law made it illegal for any public institution to "promote" homosexuality or teach its "acceptability". The right still uses this bigoted language.
