Doctor Who Star EXPLODES On J.K. Rowling! You Won’t Believe What He Said!
During an episode of ITV1’s show, The Assembly, celebrities field questions from the audience. In this instance, Tennant was asked about trans rights and he drew a parallel to the anti-gay moral panic of the past. He explained, “When I was a teenager, the Thatcher government enacted something called Section 28, which aimed to prevent the discussion of homosexuality in schools.” Essentially, this meant that it was against the law to discuss being gay in school or imply that it could be a normal way of life.
