Section 28 - end in sight

Several unions are urging their members to sign a petition, run by campaign group Stonewall, to help ensure that the controversial Section 28, prohibiting local authorities from "promoting" homosexuality, is finally repealed. The Bill has been passed in the House of Commons and should have its third reading in the House of Lords in early July.
