A return to old fashioned open homophobia and misogyny was always going to be next once the regressives had their way with trans rights.

The person who heckled them is the kind of person who would lose their shit if kids were read a story where the character had two dads or two mum’s but say absolutely nothing if they had a mum and a dad and still completely missed the point

Thanks for posting an article that happily advertises adultdreamsxxx right across their articles! I’m sure they’re not biased in anyway.Â
Kinda like pinknews who have never had any problems and are totally reliable!

Just transparent homophobia, trying to push for a full return to Section 28.
Children are fully capable of understanding that some families have two mums or two dads and this understanding is vital to discourage bullying of children from these families.

Not that I agree with the hecklers sentiment but it’s a bit of a push to describe the heckle as homophobic.
* Edit getting some heat for this, single sex relationships are already covered by relationship education at primary level, my point was we don’t know the question that was asked, so to state that the response was homophobic could be misleading without the full context as stating “they’re primary school children” is not in and of itself homophobic.

The article is about this tweet. Denyer asks the secretary of education why primary schools aren’t teaching about ‘inclusive’ relationships. ‘They’re primary school kids’ is heard’ from a backbencher before the secretary for education replies that this is taught in secondary school
Imo you could just as easily interpret the heckle as being about *when* sex education should start as opposed to what should go in it. Not liking the conservatives is legimate but considering it’s an MPs job to make their opposition look bad I’m not sure I’d go all the way to assuming this is 100%-no-questions-asked-homophobic given the large number of people who don’t want sex education of any kind in primary schools.
Edit: Tice is behind her but I don’t see his mouth move. I’d assume it was a backbench tory off camera

Quietest heckle I’ve ever heard in the Commons. Had to watch the clip twice to even notice it.

With open transphobia as well it’s hardly a surprise they’re all regressing to their true, 70s/80s selves.

It’s genuinely disheartening to see this kind of rhetoric resurface. The link between attacking trans rights and then moving on to broader LGBTQ+ acceptance is becoming a clear pattern. Kids understanding diverse families is a basic foundation for a kinder society, not something to be legislated against. This absolutely feels like a push back towards those darker, more divisive times.

Honestly the commons is embarrassing to watch in general with the schoolyard heckling
The homophonic stuff is obviously wrong but that chamber is not a room of mature responsible adults even normally.

Did any of us do sex education in primary school?
I don’t remember any of that before year 7.

Kids should 10000% be taught about the different make ups of families. In this case, they’ll be many kids out there with two loving gay parents. It would be nice for their family make up to represented. It isn’t 1950 anymore. It’s like not teaching about single parents.
