14 years after Section 28 was consigned to the dustbin of history,
Section 28 was repealed in Scotland in 2000 but it took until 2003 for it to be repealed in England and Wales. Kent County Council created their own version to keep it in schools. This was revised in 2004 but only repealed in 2010.
Repeal in 2000 was blocked by the House of Lords. Theresa May described this as 'a victory for common sense'.
