The Scottish Parliament also debated section 28 on 10 February. The Tories proposed a motion to scrap repeal, while the Executive proposed an amendment to that motion to confirm its plans to repeal section 28 and to review the curriculum guidelines on personal development, health and sex education. The Executive's amendment was passed by 88 votes to 18 with 3 abstentions.
 

The debate has received widespread coverage in the media. Amongst others, BBC1's Heaven and Earth Sunday morning programme, the Dimbleby programme which focused on Section 28, Kilroy on parents and gay children, and subsequently on gay parents and their children, and Esther Rantzen on loss of innocence in children. Every time there is an explosion of media interest, though this allows prejudiced and homophobic people to express their views, there is also a welcome opportunity to offer our experience to the wider public, and I think there is an increasing sensitivity about the debate. A slow education is taking place for people who have little direct experience of lesbians and gays to set alongside the myths and ignorance.

Supporters of Changing Attitude and other groups have been active, both in participating in some of these programmes, and in responding by letter and email to individual bishops. Just as Education, Education, Education is the mantra of New Labour, both this and Relationships, Relationships, Relationships might be the mantra of Changing Attitude. In the development of relationships lies our hope of changing minds and attitudes and providing ourselves with the support and encouragement we will need. There is a third dimension to our relationships, our relationship with God, ever elusive and ever full of potency and potential.
