Allow LGBT content to be taught in the relationships education curriculum.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As a member of the LGBT community, I struggled to embrace it when I was younger because I wasn’t taught about it and what it meant. In this day and age I think it’s so important for children to learn and understand it.
It’s important. A child being taught about it and not being taught about it can be the difference between an individual growing up knowing who they are and understanding it or growing up to be really confused and struggling to accept it. Taking it out of the curriculum is disgusting. It’s unfair how a partition has been made to get rid of it but not to keep it? You’re getting one side of the story and one side of opinions. It’s extremely important to a lot of people too.
