Make teaching history of the lqbtqia part of the curriculum

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to make the history of lqbtqia part of the curriculum to help the youth understand what they have been through. This would hopefully help eradicate homophobia which is still a problem in the UK.
I want the government to do this because homophobia is still a problem in the UK and the history of lgbtq+ isn’t being taught in schools. If it was then the youth of today would be educated and they can help educate others. There are lots of people in the UK that aren’t aware why pride is such a big celebration or the history of homophobia.
