LGBT people 'never felt more vulnerable' in Birmingham
Protesters outside Parkfield Community School said lessons on same-sex relationships were not age appropriate
Some Muslim parents have been protesting since January against the No Outsiders programme at Parkfield Community School in Alum Rock. The meeting held in Birmingham's gay village was attended by more than 100 people, the majority of whom agreed they felt increasingly threatened, anxious and frightened.
For several weeks, parents, mostly of Muslim faith, have been calling on the school to scrap the programme that teaches children about same sex couples through story books.
