Promoting equal opportunities in all especially in the law, which I could never its manifestations is very important to me. While we are right to have dreamt of, and these changes recognise the many advances to celebrate human diversity and were achieved because women and men had the courage to equality over the last 35 years, no one can doubt that there is still so much to do.

  • Celebrating Difference, Challenging Homophobia
    EDUCATE OUT PREJUDICE WITH SUE SANDERS Co Chair Schools OUT LGBT History Month The Classroom MAN WHO KILLED GAY TEEN BY BURNING HIM ALIVE JAILED FOR THREE YEARS 22 MARCH 2013 | BY JOE MORGAN Jordan Sheard, 20, plead guilty to manslaughter after he set alight a vulnerable gay teen at his 18th birthday party will be jailed for three and a half years. Steven Simpson, who had Asperger’s syndrome, a speech impairment and epilepsy, was covered in self-tanning oil and set alight in the early hours of 23 June last year. Jordan Sheard, 20, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court after pleading guilty to manslaughter. A judge heard how as Simpson became more drunk, homophobic insults were scrawled on his arm and stomach, told to strip to his boxers and encouraged to dance around. After 2am, a partygoer took tanning oil from Simpson’s bedroom and poured it over the host. The court heard Sheard then held a cigarette lighter to Simpson’s groin, and instantly the highly flammable liquid caught alight and flames engulfed his body. DAILY MAIL URGED TO FIRE RICHARD LITTLEJOHN AFTER TRANS TEACHER'S DEATH Primary school transgender teacher Lucy Meadows was found dead in Lancashire, England after a tabloid revealed her ‘shock’ story "I was lucky to have a supportive head," she wrote, "but I think I'd have done it here regardless as I couldn't put it off any longer and I have family and financial commitments as well. The guidance I've had from the trans community has been generally sound and very much appreciated, and I'd like to be able to say I've given something back.

  • February Is LGBT History Month - an Opportunity to Tackle Homophobic and Transphobic Bullying
    February is LGBT History month - an opportunity to tackle homophobic and transphobic bullying Resources for Primary Schools We know that the coalition government has stated in the recent White Paper that they are committed to tackling prejudice driven bullying and mentioned homophobic bullying as a key area they wish to focus on. With LGBT History month taking place in February we have some ideas for your school to consider using (please see below). Please pass this information on to the relevant member of staff. It may be the PSHE Co- ordinator or a Behaviour Lead, etc. If you do plan to use any of the resources and materials please let Rita know as she is keen to gather case studies of good practice examples of work in this area which she can hopefully pass to the DFE when they begin to revise the Anti-Bullying Guidance. Rita Adair Senior Educational Psychologist Email: [email protected] February is LGBT History Month – Ideas for Primary Schools February 2011 will be the seventh Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History month. This is an opportunity for schools to celebrate all the LGBT people in our society and the massive contribution they have made, usually whilst having to spend their life denying their true identity. It is also an opportunity to explore issues around homophobia and homophobic bullying. The current guidance on ‘Homophobic Bullying’ (www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/behaviour/tacklingbullying/homophobicb ullying ) and ‘Guidance for schools on preventing and responding to sexist, sexual and transphobic bullying’ can be downloaded from www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/behaviour/tacklingbullying/sexualsexista ndtransphobicbullying Visit the website www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk for lesson plans, assembly ideas, information and links to other sites with appropriate information.
