A petition to ensure that LGBTQ+ content remains part of the **Relationships and Sex Education curriculum** has been launched.

This counter petition is in response to a Parliamentary petition to have LGBTQ+ issues removed from the Relationship and Sex Education curriculum, which harks back to the dark days of **Section 28** – a legislative designation for a series of laws across the UK that prohibited the ‘promotion of homosexuality’ by local authorities.

Those responsible for the petition say: “We believe kids should learn about this at an early age. I am sure there are many parents who want their and other children taught about LGBTQ+ issues in primary school.

“There is a petition to remove this content, which we believe is discriminatory. LGBTQ+ people exist, they have the same rights as the rest of us and kids should know them and accept them without judgement or issue. Despite what their parents might believe.”
