What the petition asks
The Government should introduce laws to prohibit the promotion of homosexuality and gender incongruence in schools and councils. There are concerns amongst some parents about the teaching of LGBT issues.
In 2003, Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 was repealed. The provision was designed to prevent the promotion of homosexuality in schools and local authorities.
Legislation could allow legitimate discussion regarding homosexuality or gender, but prohibit the promotion of such.
