Growing up queer under Section 28

YouTube

Tony Blair dragged his feet on Section 28 and repealed only in his second term.

I see kids today being who they are and how I had to pretend to be straight "or else" at my age, teachers were forbidden from saying "It's OK" and the kids were vile.

And that's what we're doing to Trans Kids today, it makes me so fucking mad 😡

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 don’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.

#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. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

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 relationship’

This looks hugely important – 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 – the link should be on their website.

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

If you don't know what Section 28 was, click on the link...
