The LGBTI communities in the UK experienced an upturn in repression, discrimination and violence in the late 80s, leading to the foundation of Stonewall in 1989, and direct action movement OutRage! in 1990.
Peter Tatchell has witnessed the long arc of the history of LGBTI liberation, and this is only a small snapshot of his story.
This article will give you a good background on Section 28.
