Welsh TV and radio presenter Owain Wyn Evans has always been a strong advocate for LGBTQ rights and matters, sharing his personal experiences. In a clip for BBC Breakfast and Newsround, Owain re-visited his old school in Ammanford to talk about the impact Section 28 had on his life.
Section 28 was introduced in 1988 and banned councils and schools from promoting homosexuality. This meant many schools did not include gay rights, gay history or examples of gay families in their curriculum.

The law was abolished in 2003 in England and Wales, however, Owain was in school when Section 28 was still in place. In what he called "a very special and emotional film to make" Owain visited his old school and chatted to pupil Connor who is gay.
