It's a Very Big Issue, The suicide rate amongst LGBT teens is 3 times higher than the teen suicide rate.

Homophobic bullying in schools or any other premises has no place in todays society and it is good to hear high profile MPs speaking out against these bullies.

@Browned79 Still a long way to go, but mostly yes. Especially in regards to sexism, that has rapidly decreased in the UK over the years. The difference between income needs to be changed but the attitudes have got a lot better.

@jonnykemp11285 Old couples cannot have children, infertile people cannot have children..no moral objections against them? A lot of heterosexual couples engage in anal sex. An anti homophobic policy is not about encouraging people to be gay its about stopping homosexuals from being bullied because of a sexual orientation they did not choose. I would class crime and bigotry as being `wrong`, homosexuals I have no problem with.

[jonnykemp11285]

@dackjaniels555 mainly because the kids involved are more insecure and probably dont know weather there coming or going. You'll never stop kids being cruel so i wouldnt even buy into a massive waste of money like these schemes or even policys.

[jonnykemp11285]

and why should all schools have a anti homophobic policy..... not like parents care, bet 95-99% of british parents wouldnt like it if the schools started encouraging their kids to become gay. its not right and never will be right.
