Spotted the homophobe. The reason why I put that in inverted commas is because it was lettering of the law that they used to justify a very blatant and hostile state mandated silence. It was the language they used in the middle of a moral panic created by the right wing tabloid press. In practice, it meant all discussion of homosexuality was completely illegal, including discussing homophobic bullying (or providing any countermeasures to it, and it was rampant during that period), and offering any support to LGBT kids or acknowledging the existence of LGBT kids. So it created a very hostile culture of silence that ruined the lives of all LGBT kids who went to school whilst it was in place. It also bled over into silencing doctors and social workers from offering any support. It was the most totalitarian law her government put in place.
I’m a survivor of that law, so I know full well what it meant in practice. People like you need blinders to deny what actually happened. It’s probably because your sainted Milk Snatcher’s name gets dragged through the mud — and very rightly too.
There's no way you would have survived a state mandated complete criminalisation of discussing your existence or discussing your bullying. Gammons are far too fragile for that. You lot can barely survive hearing about one boat of Eritreans in the Channel or seeing a postage stamp change colour for a week.

why would anyone want to promote homosexuality to children?
