In regards to the US note: OP lives in the United Kingdom and therefore the proposed note is incorrect for this post. This post is also of a personal opinion sharing their own experiences. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-3) Author

Section 28 in the UK led to heavy censorship of LGBT people and discussions up until 2003 when it was repealed. [Link] Similar laws existed in other countries during that period, including ones still in effect as of 2024: [Link][Link][Link] CURRENTLY_RATED_HELPFUL(17-0-1) Author

NNN. The OP is stating that in the 90s people were openly expressing their sexuality and were unafraid of coming out. Community notes referencing Section 28 are irrelevant because S28 was about a government instruction to state schools, not how people lived their lives. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-7) Author
