      I'm 34. Section 28 was in place from before I joined school, to the start of my last year of 6th form, age 17. "Promotion" meant anything not actively anti-gay. When I was bullied, a teacher took me aside and told me it was my fault for being gay and I should know better.https://twitter.com/TJ_Knight/status/1396712460774739968 …

      On this day 33 years ago #Section28 was introduced by Margaret Thatcher banning the ‘promotion of homosexuality’ by local authorities and schools. These cruel laws fuelled bullying and blocked intervention. They weren’t repealed until 2003 after affecting countless LGBTQ+ lives. pic.twitter.com/imTH777C0P

      The bullying didn't last long, thankfully, because I picked out the ringleader and threw him down a flight of stairs. But I was lucky in that I was able to take matters into my own hands, a lot of kids weren't. And none of us should have had to.

      "Promotion" was a deliberately loaded word - they wanted to make it sound as though The Gays were going around converting children. Absolute nonsense. People are doing the same about trans kids now. No-one "turns" kids LGBT. They just give them language for who they are.

      This sounds similar to what happened in my province in Canada, where GSA clubs (gay straight alliance clubs) were attacked by the government and they wanted to have a rule where teachers could tell parents their kids were in those clubs.

      A deliberate attempt to out students who might have been closeted and also to quash spaces they had. But when I was in school (1995 - 2008) we had nothing like that. So most queer kids were closeted and afraid and had to deal with the worst shit from other students and teachers.

      Like kids being full out homophobic and me being the only one in a class to tell them to shut the hell up, and the teacher told me off for saying anything.

          Yeah, in the looking-at-newspapers class we had to "debate" gay marriage. I ended up thrown out of the class on a regular basis for not putting up with homophobia.
