	Section 28 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Section 28 was a controversial amendment to the United Kingdom's 1988 Local Government Act, enacted on 24 May 1988 and repealed on 18 November 2003.
		Section 28 was primarily supported by religious groups opposed to LGBT rights such as The Christian Institute, the African and Caribbean Evangelical Association, the Christian Action Research and Education, the Muslim Council of Britain, and groups within the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England.
		Section 28 made the assumption that homosexuals were inherently dangerous to children, wrongly implying an association between homosexuality and paedophilia.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Clause (or Section) 28
		Section 28 of the Local Government Act, enforced from May 1988 until September 2003, prohibited local authorities from promoting homosexuality or teaching in state schools the acceptability of homosexuality as a "pretended family relationship."
		The political antecedent to Section 28 was a Private Members Bill entitled "An act to refrain local authorities from promoting homosexuality," introduced by the Conservative peer Lord Halsbury in the House of Lords in 1986.
		As a result of Section 28, many local authorities were reluctant to grant public space to gay and lesbian organizations or to host glbtq publications in their libraries.

	Michael Howard's silence on Kent's Section 28 \| Headlines \| News \| Gay.com UK
		Conservative leader Michael Howard claims it would be "inappropriate" for him to comment on Kent County Council's decision to maintain their own version of Section 28, despite the council being Tory run and his own constituency being in the county.
		Section 28 was finally binned last year, but Kent decided to include legislation that blocked money from going to initiatives that "intentionally promote" homosexuality in schools or those that taught "homosexuality as a pretended family relationship".
		This same defence was used for Section 28, the introduction of which was overseen by Howard in his role of Local Government Minister.

		Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 prohibited local authorities from "promoting" homosexuality or gay "pretended family relationships", and prevented councils spending money on educational materials and projects perceived to promote a gay lifestyle.
		Section 28 was first proposed in a private member's bill by the independent peer Lord Halsbury, and tabled in December 1986.
