SAYiT LGBTQ+ History Month 2024

1st February 2024 - Section 28: Coming Out at School 1988-2003, 6.30pm-8.30pm – Central Library, Surrey Street

In 1988, the Conservative Government created a new law. It prevented schools and local authorities from ‘promoting’ homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle. This social experiment on the nation's children was rooted in the belief that if children never heard about lesbians, gay men, bisexuals or trans people, then they couldn’t grow up to be LGBTQ+.

Section 28 remained in place for 15 years, and has negatively affected tens of thousands of children well into adulthood. SAYiT have invited a panel of LGBTQ+ people to discuss how this law blighted their school lives, and how they discovered community outside the school gates.
