Regretfully, the petition to remove #LGBT content from the #UK curriculum has 197,100 signatures.

The counter petition asking for that content to remain, is rapidly gaining ground. It now has 78,919 signatures!

Pls sign the counter petition if able. British citizens & UK residents have the right to sign. Pls boost otherwise!

Petition: Do not remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum

We believe kids should learn about this at an early age. I am sure there are many parents who want their and other children taught about LGBT issues in primary school.

@KittenInACave I'm going to be *that* guy, but personally I'm not in favour of the counter petition.

If authority (media, politicians etc.) are really going full-blown anti-LGBTQ+ for the normie distraction they need, I want to know who will defend the original petition and hear them say it and why.

With the counter's existence, they will just "both sides" it to weasel out of stating their *true* position, then go back to covertly continuing their weaponising of us against us regardless.

@XLCChelt

To be honest I feel like they will "both sides" it either way, but I hear your point. It adds credence to that *always* bullshit defense.

@KittenInACave @XLCChelt They will treat it the way they do all petitions in which they have no real interest. Anodyne reply. Formulaic ‘debate’ in parliament. Next.

In this case, that’s a good thing.

@juneussell @XLCChelt

I'm just hoping they HAVE no interest! That's always my concern with the tories! I can't tell what heinous way they'll think they can get away with swinging to next!

@KittenInACave @XLCChelt I don’t think they do. This would be a can of worms for them atm, when they know that people in general are tolerant, and more often positively supportive of diversity - I know it looks like a lot of signatures, but actually it isn’t- it’s the usual nasty rump trying to make a noise.
@KittenInACave @XLCChelt Having read the government reply, to the counter petition, I think there are going to be a lot of terribly disappointed haters lol
