I've just received the email circular suggesting that we, as members of theLGBT community, sign the petition at https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make-nhs-complaints-c ount

A working complaints system, both at individual Trust level, and on referral, the P&HSO, is without doubt essential. I question though why this specific petition is deserving of our support as members of the LGBT community?

I would also observe that IMO 38degrees.org.uk is not an organisation which has a high media profile. Media exposure is the only way a petition like this can hope to be taken seriously. A more effective way of highlighting a problem with NHS complaints would be set up an e-petition on http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ where 100,000 signatures will cause the petition to be considered for a Commons debate.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
