Abstract
Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988, which states that local authorities may not 'intentionally promote homosexuality' , enjoyed a rela tively quiet first anniversary at the end of May this year which was in marked contrast to the intense political debate and heightened media inter est which attended its birth. This article seeks to explain why, through an examination of Section 28 as law, by an assessment of its ideological locus within neo-conservatism, and by an evaluation of its somewhat ambiguous effects on gay politics and representations of homosexuality.
