Homophobic Bullying v Straights Kissing
#1
My eye was caught by a couple of articles in The Guardian recently. The first is a report that despite progress in attitudes having been made, many gays and lesbians still frequently find themselves under attack.
Quote: Stonewall's own research shows that homophobic bullying is rife in schools (nine in 10 teachers say their pupils currently experience homophobic bullying and 65% of pupils report experiencing direct homophobic bullying), and research by the Equality Challenge Unit finds that 49.5% of students in higher education have been treated in a negative way because of their sexual orientation.

Homophobic bullying doesn't just stop at university. Stonewall's own University Guide shows that many universities still don't do enough to tackle homophobia on their campuses.

Progress should certainly be celebrated – but there's still some way to go before we can say universities are homophobia-free. more
The second, bizarrely, looks at an academic study that indicates there is a rise in the number of straight men kissing each other in public. I seem to have missed this phenomenon, which has apparently blossomed over the past couple of years. [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/jan/04/straight-men-kissing-homophobia"]more
