Rejected petition Teach children in school years 5-11 about the LGBTQ+ community.

Many children these days have no clue or very little clue about this community, and how important it is to the people apart of the community. Being in the community myself, I find it important that children should know about this and realise that LGBTQ+ people are just ordinary people.

More details

LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (or Questioning in some cases). In schools, this has never been taught to me, and I think it's important for children to learn about this community.
