Wait a fucking minute. Stop and read that through properly.

It's factually incorrect to state that 'From its foundation in 1989, Stonewall has produced resources for use in schools aimed at making all educational establishments “LGBTQ+” inclusive.' Stonewall was an LGB organisation until it forcibly, and against the wishes of many people it had formerly represented, added the TQ+ to its remit.

This letter is effectively appears to be requiring the removal of all teaching about anything but straight sexuality from the curriculum. This will set LGB rights back 20 years: we'll be back to a Section 28 situation.

Here's a link to what the Reverend Lynda Rose thinks:

www.christiantoday.com/article/lgbt-lessons-in-schools-the-rev-lynda-rose-on-why-more-christian-parents-need-to-take-a-stand/133452.htm

This is a right-wing Christian movement that will potentially threaten the rights of LGB people. There's no reason for them to mention LGB at all: they could just mention the T. I an extremely suspicious of this. And automatically supporting it will play straight into the hands of critics who say that GC people are in the pocket of the right-wing Christian movement.

I'm not comfortable with parts of that letter.

StandUpStraight · 06/07/2021 19:32

Having read what shedbuilder wrote, neither am I. I didn’t read it through that lens, but can see it now.

Shedbuilder · 06/07/2021 21:07

I forgot to add that it wasn't until 2015 that Stonewall adopted the TQ+.

From 1989, when it was set up to challenge Section 28, to 2015 it was LGB only. Why would Parent Power and Voice for Justice purposely misrepresent this? You have to wonder.

Please think very carefully before signing this petition. Don't punch LGB people for the actions of the TRAs.

Shedbuilder · 06/07/2021 21:08

Punish, not punch!

FloralBunting · 07/07/2021 15:32

Don't punch us either, though.

duvet · 07/07/2021 17:46

I didnt read it through that lens either, sorry someone forwarded it to me along with safe schools alliance article.

I didn't sign either due to real unease about this.
