The past weeks have seen ground-breaking developments in the battle to keep the law that bans local authorities from promoting homosexuality. The Government, however, remains committed to repeal.
In Scotland, the first ever privately-funded referendum resulted in huge support for keeping Section 28. Over a million returned ballot papers and 87% of the polls respondents voted to retain the law - more than voted for Labour in the Scottish Parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, the first ever legal action against a local authority for breaking Section 28 has begun. Nurse and committed Christian Sheena Strain, says her council tax was being used by Glasgow City Council to promote homosexuality. The Christian Institute is supporting her and her husband in their stand. A full hearing is expected to start in early July.
