LGBT History
In 2003, following the repeal of Section 28, The Conservative-run Kent County Council decided to create their own version of Section 28 to keep the effect of the now repealed law in their schools.[1] This was replaced on 16 December 2004 with provisions stating that heterosexual marriage and family relationships are the only firm foundations for society.
Rainbow is Kent County Council’s LGBT staff group.
