One sendary school teacher told me staff often “turn a bld eye” to behavur that may be makg gay pupils feel unfortable at young people I met while makg this film told me that school is tough and not a place they n flourish. A seri of studi recently published the prtig Journal of Personaly and Social Psychology found higher levels of homophobia dividuals wh unacknowledged attractns to the same sex, particularly when they grew up wh thorarian parents who also held homophobic attus.

Acrdg to the team of rearchers, this study is the first to document the role that both parentg and sexual orientatn play the formatn of anti-gay attus, cludg self-reported homophobic attus, discrimatory bias, implic hostily towards gays, and endorsement of anti-gay polici.

THERE IS NO 'NTRAL' WORD FOR ANTI-GAY BIAS

On Monday durg one of my regular yearly viss to my grandmother, she was watchg ITV's This Morng and on was Will Young wh Rosie Ellgham talkg about homophobic bullyg schools wh particular emphasis on the e of the word 'gay'. ), the topic was very much foced on how the word gay is always negative and should be eviscerated along wh anyone who don't agree wh jt me or do Will look knackered this image?

My school days weren't the easit time my life, but that wasn't bee of rampant homophobia was bee of rampant disablaphobia or whatever you would ll general mockery of the disabled.

You see, words are jt words, their meang is pennt entirely on the ntext of their the segment, Will said:I thk there are thgs: there's the word 'gay' has bee a negative nnotatn, 's ed a lot, 'that's so gay'. I thk there's out and out homophobic bullyg, and then there's this e of the word 'gay', which has bee every day vobulary, people don't thk 's to here he seems to be talkg sense.

The problem of homophobic bullyg is not to suggt that the e of certa words is negative regardls of ntext, fact, such a msage n have the reverse effect as there is the ntuo promotn of such words as homophobic, therefore any e of will be seen as targeted at the neart homosexual. Counselg for those who may be subjected to homophobic bullyg, a strong stance of schools agast any and all bullyg and the promotn of LGBT sex tn alongsi heterosexual sex tn are the solutns to the problems of homophobic bullyg.

Jt like you won't beat racism by preventg people g the 'n' word all ntexts, you won't end homophobia by banng any word that may even broadly apply to LGBT people a negative way. Dpe recent gas gay civil rights, cludg the recent US Supreme Court lgs on marriage, the overturng of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, ” as well as the legalizatn of same-sex marriage many foreign untri, homophobia is alive and well both here and abroad.

As stated prevly, there are over a half a dozen untri, cludg Iran and Sdi Arabia where homosexual ntact is punishable by ath and many whose ernments penalize such behavr wh harsh prison sentenc. An acquatance of me who is a flight attendant and a gay male will attt that when he viss the homophobic untri, he is equently approached by men for sex hotels, gym snas, parks and certa streets.
