Tell Michael Howard to Cut Kent's Section 28 Red Tape

The Conservative Party has launched a website encouraging voters to tell the Tories which bits of "bureaucracy and red tape" they would like to put an end to.
Following the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales, Sir Sandy Bruce-Lockhart of Kent County Council has pledged to keep in place Kent's policy to "not publish, purchase or distribute material with the intention of promoting homosexuality".
It is impossible to 'promote' homosexuality. Being lesbian or gay isn't something you choose because it is advertised - it's part of who you are. What Kent's policy means is that gay people living in the county, particularly those who are young, won't have access to the support and resources that they need.
If you'd like to tell the Rt Hon Michael Howard MP, a Kent MP, that you think this piece of "red tape" in his constituency should be abolished, visit
http://www.cutredtape.org/ and submit your message. We hope that he will then keep his promise and make sure this needless (and damaging) regulation is scrapped.
As a favour, you could always cut and paste the text prepared below:

I believe that it is impossible to 'promote' homosexuality. Being lesbian or gay isn't something you choose because it is advertised - it's part of who you are. What Kent's policy means is that gay people living in the county, particularly those who are young, won't have access to the support and resources that they need.
I would like to tell the Rt Hon Michael Howard MP, the Member for Folkestone & Hythe, that I think this piece of "red tape" in his constituency should be abolished as soon as possible.
