In the United Kingdom, the Conservative government passes Section 28, a clause that bans the “promotion of homosexuality” by local government.

David Cameron subsequently issued an extraordinary apology on behalf of the Conservative Party for legislation banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools. He said the party had ‘got it wrong’ when it introduced Section 28 in the late 1980s. Yeah…that’s one way of looking at it.
