Signed - justice for those of us who grew up LGBTQ* under Section 28, I didn't realise til reading The Log Books how damaged my early years were by it. I always assumed John had it harder with pitched battles and GLF, but it was a different type of battle. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/760231 #section28 #queer #lgbtq #lgbt

    @radioclash@retro.pizza Signed. Thank you for sharing ☺️ I was 13 when section 28 was introduced, just realising I might be gay. I was surrounded by the narrative that lesbians were a threat to little girls. That our female PE teachers were a threat to us in the changing rooms for being muscular with short hair. That if I liked girls I was perverted and evil. I hid in the closest until I was 42. So much internal homophobia to deal with and so much wasted time trying to make it work with men 😬

    To those going 'why are there so many LGBTQ* kids now?' Maybe cos you told two generations it was wrong to be queer, in the UK BY LAW, forced them into the closet you figures might be a wee tiny bit skewed? Late Gen Z and Gen Alpha can be who they are now - well until far-right try to stop trans kids existing. Same shit, different era.
