The Shadow of Section 28

Today I gave my presentation, The Shadow of Section 28, for Sutton LGBT Forum.

The presentation explored the reasons for the enactment of section 28, its effects on LGBT and non-LGBT people and its continuing legacy, despite its repeal in November 2003.

I offered to provide some resources on this topic. They include:
