Meeting BLGBF - Monday 19th May

bristol lesbian gay and bisexual forum

Monday 19th May 7:30 - 9:30 at Council House,
College Green, Bristol.
The meeting is being held by the Council in response to recent events in two Easton Primary Schools.

Problems have arisen over objections by local parents to the teaching of different lifestyles (different family groups) through books and other means. The Council decided to withdraw the books and teaching following incidents whereby parents turned unaccompanied children away from school.
