Today marks the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales, a cruel law attempting to suppress positive discussion of homosexuality. It’s progress through Parliament impelled me to come out. LGBT people and allies protested in numbers never seen before.
Today is the 20th Anniversary of the end of Section 28, a law which prohibited the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. It's legacy still persists today. Education should be inclusive of the LGBT+ community in all our diversity. #Section28 #NeverAgain

Today marks 20 years since the repeal of Section 28, a shameful and hateful law that silenced any mention of homosexuality in schools, meaning an entire generation of young people and teachers had to hide who they were. And its effects are still felt 2 decades later - a thread 🧵
The most beautiful book. So powerful and deeply moving
It’s 20 years since the repeal of section 28. I wrote about being a gay teen under that hateful law in BOY LIKE ME (99p on Kindle right now, so treat yourself!) s.28 left us lonely, afraid and ashamed. And there are people today who would gladly see it return. NEVER.

On this day, 20 years ago, #Section28 was repealed. This hateful law forced young people and teachers to hide who they were. LGBTQ children were stopped from seeing and learning about people like themselves.
Today is the 20th anniversary of #Section28 and I've been thinking about younger Sarah. This is my first school photo that I had taken after I moved to the UK. I may have been 5, 6 years old? This photo was taken during Section 28, a law which was repealed when I was 14.

The pernicious effects of Section 28 can still be felt today. So many people of my age remember growing up in that culture of silence and the shame it engendered. It has cost us more than a few lives over the years.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales, a cruel law attempting to suppress positive discussion of homosexuality. It’s progress through Parliament impelled me to come out. LGBT people and allies protested in numbers never seen before.
