What the petition asks

Ensure that history of the LGBTQIA+ community is acknowledged within primary and secondary education. An increase in awareness and understanding of the community with hopefully reduce hate crimes towards gay/lesbian/trans people across England.

Across England, hate crimes appear to be increasing and nobody is doing a thing about it. People need to be educated upon why their actions are wrong and unjust.
