Don't Say Gay

By Sarah Elizabeth Drummond

Don’t Say Gay tells the story of the introduction of a homophobic law, Section 28 by the British government in the 1980s and the subsequent fight back and repeal. The law forbade the “promotion of homosexuality” by any local councils in Britain which meant that teachers believed they could discuss any LGBTQ+ themes in schools. The law stretched further to impact the arts, libraries and local authorities.
