Teach children about gay rights/homophobia in schools.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I feel that schools in the UK don't teach enough about gay/lesbian rights in schools, and without it children could develop homophobic thoughts. Children in primary school should be taught about how being gay is OK, and that abusing, mentally or physically someone who feels this way is wrong.
