Homophobic bullying out of control in our schools

Two thirds of gay secondary school pupils have been victims of homophobic bullying at school, according to major new research. That's almost 150,000 children often too frightened even to attend their schools. Sixty thousand gay pupils have been physically attacked and many hospitalised. And almost a third of gay pupils have witnesssed not just other pupils, but teachers doing the homophobic bullying in their schools.
