What was Section 28? - LGBT+ History Month

Here is a presentation created by one of our students who attends our LGBTQ+ group based at our Wolverhampton base. 

It highlights the social and political impact of Section 28 enacted in 1988. 

Although overturned in 2003, this legislation cast a massive shadow on the LGBTQ+ community and created an atmosphere of shame and fear.

The theme for LGBT+ History Month is Activism and Social Change. It is important to educate ourselves on the history and look forward to the future. If you would like to learn more here are some helpful websites:
