Young taught to fight homophobia

Youth Work
Gay equality charity Stonewall has trained 27 young people to run campaigns to tackle homophobia and homophobic bullying in their local area.

The 16- to 21-year-olds from across the country attended a training weekend in Buckinghamshire last month.

Laurie Kay, Stonewall's youth co-ordinator, said: "The weekends give the young people the chance to really get involved with Stonewall's campaign to tackle homophobic bullying in schools. They also get to meet other people their age who are keen to campaign for an end to homophobia."

Each young person will be supported by Stonewall-trained youth leaders over the next six months while they put their campaign plans into action.
