On Education, the Commitment says:
“Combatting discrimination against LGBTIQA+ people needs to start in school. Children need to be taught that tolerance and acceptance are a vital part of our society.
“The protests against inclusive education have been heartbreaking. Young LGBTIQA+ people deserve to learn what healthy relationships look like, that being who they are is okay and that families come in all sizes.
“Without inclusive education we won’t be able to tackle bullying in schools or poor mental health for LGBTIQA+ people.”
Benali Hamdache, Co-Chair of LGBTIQA+ Greens, said:
“Back in 2018 Theresa May launched a bold promise to make LGBTIQA+ lives better. Since the launch of her LBGT+ Action Plan the government has totally failed to deliver any meaningful change. We are worried that, under Boris Johnson’s right-wing culture war, things will actually get much, much worse.
“This is all against a backdrop of an increasingly toxic culture, with certain commentators becoming increasingly hostile to trans people.
“LGBTIQA+ Greens have been at the forefront of resisting. From protesting to lobbying decision makers, we’ve been fighting for the rights of LGBTIQA+ people. We’re proud of the progressive and inclusive values in the Green Party Manifesto. With your support and your vote we can champion these values and elect Greens committed to protecting and furthering all our rights.”
