Force leader of the House of Commons to resign after anti LGBT comments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The leader of the House of Commons made comments arguing that parents should be able to remove children from LGBT education in schools. She should resign or be dismissed from government for her homophobic stance. The prime minister failed to condemn it when questioned by the MP for Brighton Keptown

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of a Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
