As with the whole of M2M2 I welcome any new ideas, and good suggestions of other constructive things that can be done will be added to this page - just mention them in the forum below.
A Few Small Steps
Boycott Stagecoach
This may seem like a small effort, but considering the current climate of homophobia that the chairman and founder of Stagecoach is promoting, I cannot see how any liberal, thinking person would want to support this company, especially knowing where its profits are going. See the Homophobe Blacklist for more information about what exactly this man is up to.
Write to Your MP
Yes, everyone says it, but one of the main arguments in favour of consituency democracy is that you have a single person who is supposed to represent your views to the House of Commons. Write to your MP and tell them how you feel about Section 28 or the Age of Consent - and let me know what reply you get. I'll be happy to put up the text of any such reply, so that people can tell for themselves which are the goodies and which are the baddies.
You might even like to send your MP a fax. This is now incredibly easy - just go to stand.org.uk's fax gateway where there is a fax-gateway, where you can type in a fax to your MP (please don't offend others by wasting their time, faxing an MP for another constituency) and send it for free. It will even tell you which your MP is, if you don't know!
Tell Others
It may sound obvious, but ignorance is a huge problem with all these issues. Many people don't realise what is going on, and which minority activists are swaying these votes against reasonable, liberal, unbigoted views. Spread the word, and prevent them being infected by the homophobic propaganda (that is so much more prevelant than the homosexual propaganda we keep hearing about!).
