What your students will learn
The following videos and resource pack will help students develop their thinking about LGBTQ+ rights, equality and legislation.
Peter and Geoff’s story explores life before the 1967 Sexual Offences Act and how the Act has helped to change the lives of many LGBTQ+ people for the better. In their story, Nadine and Tia share their experience of the repeal of Section 28 as a result of the 2003 Local Government Act, and the role this played in shaping their identity as queer women of colour.
