Outrageous: The Story of Section 28

  • £9.99
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Outrageous! tells the full story of the Section 28 Act which passed into law in 1988. It reveals the background to the Act, how the press fanned the flames and what politicians said during debates, how protestors fought back to bring about the repeal of the law in the 2000s, and its eventual legacy.

Based on detailed research, interviews with key figures - including Ian McKellen, Michael Cashman and Angela Mason - and personal recollection, it is an impassioned, warm, often moving account of unthinkable prejudice enshrined within law, and of the power of community to overcome it.
