The legislation was introduced by the government of [[Margaret Thatcher]] in response to left wing ([[Labour Party]]) controlled authorities seeking to deliberately indoctrinate and teach homosexuality to children. | '''Section 28''' is a former piece of legislation in the United Kingdom which was introduced in 1986 as part of the Local Government Act 1986.
