Stop Homophobic Bullying Campaign

We are currently campaigning on the issue of homophobic bullying in schools. Our spokespeople in the House of Commons and Lords are working to amend the current Education and Inspections Bill to tackle this problem, which affects straight staff and pupils who are perceived as gay, as well as thousands of lesbian, gay and bisexual pupils and teachers.

In this short video, Stephen Williams MP talks about the campaign and why homophobic bullying needs particular attention. This was produced for anti-bullying week in November 2006.

Sign our petition

We, the undersigned, call for the following to support and protect the victims of homophobic bullying:

1. Homophobic taunts and name calling in schools should be challenged immediately by staff.

2. All schools' anti-bullying policies should be required to include measures specifically to deal with homophobic bullying.

3. At least one teacher in every school should undergo training which includes how to tackle homophobic bullying.
