"Stonewall's back where it was, it's unpopular. Why is it unpopular? Because it's campaigning for equality." On the anniversary of Section 28 taking effect in England and Wales, Michael Cashman, one of the charity's co-founders and a member of the House of Lords, explains how 'culture wars' targeting Trans people mirror the climate Gay people fought for their rights in during the 1980s. | Gay Star News

Today, we’re celebrating the anniversary of the repeal of Section 28, which prohibited the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools and local authorities.
