Theresa May’s sex and equalities legislation is “child abuse” If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the long march of the LGBTI agenda, you will know that its activists escalated efforts to indoctrinate the youngest of schoolchildren into accepting their ideologies in 2018, and this has continued unimpeded in 2019.
