"We aren't going to get back into the closet", says tearful MP Angela Eagle (25th June 2019)

Today, in the House of Commons, Labour MP Angela Eagle appeared close to tears as she challenged those protesting against equality teaching, insisting: “We aren’t going to get back in the closet.”

Labour former minister Angela Eagle, who was the first openly gay female MP when she came out in 1997, said such education is not “propagandising” or about “trying to turn people gay”, but about respecting their rights to have an “equal welcome in school”.
