She cheated me of my Queer youth...
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!

Heather Paterson#Section28 caused real harm. It erased lives, denied support, and left lasting shame and silence that many are still living with today.

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
peter (sax) ๐This 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.
If you don't know what Section 28 was, click on the link...
@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.
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDOn #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.
concretedogI don't wear jackets that often but when I do I love combining badges from my collection! #Opensource space agencies to #emfcamp to repeal #section28 history with a little bit of Albanian retro advertising (cockto polish!) And, of course a #crochet radish!
In the DarkItโs LGBTQIA+ STEM Day!
Just a quick post to point out that today is LGBTQIA+ STEM Day, which aims to celebrate to celebrate the work of LGBTQIA+ people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but also to highlight the barriers still facing us.
For more information see here.
This also provides an opportunity for me to send my best wishes to all LGBTQIA+ staff and students at Maynooth and around the world! As far as I know, my Employer is not marking this occasion. This surprises me as it is not unknown for them to engage in pinkwashing from time to time, whenever it suits them for some reason.
P.S. Iโm reminded that it was 22 years ago today that Section 28 was finally repealed in England and Wales. With reactionary fforces around the world attacking our hard-won rights, it is important that we cling on to what weโve got.
