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 …

While we didn't have a law against it (to my knowledge), it was only until the late 00s that it was even remotely acceptable to be a cis queer white teen in school, let alone anyone else. And god forbid if a teacher was gay...they would 100% be "let go" for some other reason.

I can't remember it at all, but we may well have debated about gay marriage in school too. It was legalised in Canada when I was 15 and just entering high school, so it was talked about a lot.
