Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!




This evening, on World Aids Day 2011, I was participating at a Parent & Carer Focus Group at the Stonewall offices.

Stonewall working for equality and justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals.

It was fantastic to see Elton John taking to the pages of the Guardian last month with a heartfelt call to action to tackle the almost endemic homophobic bullying in our schools. Elton beautifully echoed the sentiment of our Different Families, Same Love campaign with his plea that every child should be able to grow up treated with dignity and respect. 


School's out!
Stonewall has launched its School Champions programme, providing tailored support and guidance to primary and secondary schools in challenging homophobic bullying and celebrating difference. And the Education Equality Index 2012, the benchmarking exercise that recognises good practise in tackling homophobic bullying in schools, has opened. Entries close on 29 February 2012.
