Section 28 (United Kingdom)

Section 28 of the Local Govrnment Act 1988 was a controversial amendment to the United Kingdom's Local Government Act 1986. The act stated that a local authority "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". It was enacted on May 24th, 1988 and repealed in Scotland on June 21st, 2000 and in the rest of the UK on November 18th, 2003 by Section 122 of the Local Government Act 2003.
