A sex education theatre show aimed at children has been cancelled after the venue said it had received "unprecedented threats and abuse".
The Family Sex Show, featuring topics such as consent, pleasure and queerness, was due to be performed at Bristol's Tobacco Factory in May.
The creators of the show, who said they had also received threats, have now cancelled its whole tour.
More than 38,000 people signed a petition calling for it to be axed.
The petition claimed the show was "profoundly irresponsible" and "wholly inappropriate".
The show would have featured full-frontal nudity and those organising it would "present a severe safeguarding risk", protesters added.

Hard to comment on the show being cancelled without knowing more about the content.
However this current trend for reactionaries throwing around groomer and paedo claims is going to end badly.
Yes, I can't imagine where they'd get that idea from.........However this current trend for reactionaries throwing around groomer and paedo claims is going to end badly.

i hope as society things like the cost of living squeeze will mean we all wake up and start challenging horses
t like this, we've been tolerating it and funding it for long enough now. It is about time chodes like this lot were made to go out and get proper fking jobs instead of pedeling this utter bks.

Thing is when you say "challenging" if people just don't take their kids presumably they don't have much of a show and they go out of business so it looks after itself?
Personally the whole thing sounds a bit weird and isn't my cup of tea but the way I'm reading it it isn't schools or other institutions taking kids so you're into parental choices and responsibility aren't you?
And even then people sending them threats and abuse just because they don't agree with it is completely wrong.

I’m really glad I’ve no idea what this sentence means and I’ve no intention of finding out 
.We did sex Ed in school at 10 years old and that was in the 80’s. A few kids had to be taken out because their parents didn’t want it but most of the class were there. Parental choice is a good thing. The only harm I remember it doing was it broadened our capacity for dodgy jokes.
