We cannot let let history repeat itself.

In May 1988, a law was passed that made 'promotion' of LGBTQIA+ identities illegal across the United Kingdom.

It was not repealed until the early 2000s.

For fifteen years, young queer people in the UK grew up under the shadow of this oppressive law. Students of the 80s, 90s, and early 00s are still feeling the impact of the UK's original "don't say gay" law to this day.

Now, with new laws prohibiting the support of LGBTQIA+ people appearing across the world, we need to hear from the people impacted by Section 28 more than ever.

"These stories work to fill the gaps left behind by Section 28, creating presence where there was absence, inventing language where there was none. This is a new kind of history."
(Dr Suzan Meryem Rosita)
