Peter Tatchell describes a method to nullify parents opting out of LGBT lessons

Peter Tatchell describes a method to nullify parents opting out of LGBT indoctrination for their children in schools at the Dublin Pride Annual Debate in June 2018.

"In the UK, the government is still saying that the parents of kids should have the right to withdraw them from relationship and sex education. We're not going to win that one to stop that.

"But what I'm proposing and what my foundation is proposing is that yes the parental optout should remain but parents should be required to come to the school and take their child out of each individual lesson.

"And of all places, two schools in the north of Ireland trialled this about five or six years ago before they got stopped. But they found the level of parental opt-out dropped to almost zero."
