Stop SPUC

Dear Minister,

After the recent passing of the homosexuality bill in parliament there has been a recent backlash from certain right wing groups, notably from the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children who launched a leafleting campaign in Bath which was prejudiced, discriminatory and used falsehoods to convey their bigoted message.

Such falsehoods include the definition of homosexuality as a "high-risk practice", encouraging children's ignorance of homosexuality and making claims that this renders gender differences obsolete, I personally find this last point positive and emancipating.

Please prevent this clearly false and discriminatory information from being distributed.

Thank you.

Why is this important?

This campaign highlights that, despite recent legislation, there are those with frankly backward mindsets who seek to carry on discriminating against and undermining the basic human rights of individuals who wish only to express their love for each other in a formal institution, in exactly the same way as heterosexual couples.

These people seek to destroy human rights of a minority group in society, resonating with wider global issues that are ongoing in Russia and Uganda, where individuals are being lobbied to be maimed or killed because of their sexuality. We should engage actively to stop this disgusting treatment in this country and our locality to the best of our efforts and abilities.

Bath, United Kingdom
