Title:
Gay
history
Now that Section
28's been repealed, Christopher
thinks it's time for schools and museums to be more open about the sexuality
of historical figures.
The North East has a huge amount of Roman
history, but the sexuality of some of the key figures is glossed over.
Christopher thinks it's important for people to learn the truth and thinks
it's especially important for children to learn that being gay doesn't
have to be a barrier to becoming one of life's key players.
