LONDON—Yesterday, a few-hundred strong group gathered in Parliament Square, to hear from MPs and demand change over Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) legislation in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Alongside other speakers, DUP MP Ian Paisley welcomed the crowd, which was mainly composed of parents and families, thanking them for coming to make their voices heard, and calling on the government to respect “parental rights.”
