Alan Turing

Using the word “gay”

as an insult is

homophobic

Calling someone ‘gay’ as a way of suggesting there is something ‘wrong’ with being lesbian or gay is homophobic

Being on the receiving end of homophobia

hurts....and you don’t need to be lesbian or gay

to suffer homophobia

FACT:

People do not choose their sexual orientation…

FACT:

People DO choose

to be homophobic

What are you going to do about

it?

YOU can help to combat

homophobia…

YOU can challenge homophobia when

you hear or see it....

YOU can support and value your friends,

regardless of their sexual

orientation or other differences....

If YOU are experiencing homophobic bullying or know someone who is,

report it to a adult

…don’t be silent.
