Public Advocacy - Civil Rights and Liberties

Homophobic bullying causes permanent damage to young people and blights the schools and colleges where it takes place. Making all young people - regardless of their sexuality - feel included and valued is a major opportunity for the educational system to transform the lives of a significant number of pupils and students.

"Some people are gay. Get over it!" is a clear message from young people about how they feel about homophobia and homophobic bullying in schools.

The image is available free of charge as an A3 poster, postcard and sticker. Order your campaign materials today and read Stonewall's "The School Report" to find out more about the experiences of LGB young people at school.

Don't forget to tell all your friends and contacts about this cause and ask them to support our work to tackle homophobic bullying in Britain's schools.
