Kids Should Act Less Gay

Claims that some school children in Essex have been told by teachers to "act less gay" to avoid being bullied have been as labelled as "worrying".

 

The anecdotal evidence came from a report to Essex County Council about an anti-bullying conference in March organised by the Young Essex Assembly.

 

It also heard teachers wanted more help and support in dealing with bullying.

 

Chris Gibbons, from gay rights group Stonewall, said pupils should be encouraged to express themselves.

 

He said: "It's really worrying to hear young people are being told they cannot be who they are.

 

"It impacts on their self-esteem, their confidence and enjoyment at school and ultimately their attainment at school."

 

Mr Gibbons said homophobic bullying in schools was a nationwide problem.

 

He said: "We understand this can be difficult for teachers, because if they haven't had their training they don't necessarily know how to prevent and respond to homophobic bullying.

 

'Taken seriously'

"I was at a young people's conference in Essex only two weeks ago and we saw some very positive work going on in schools in Ockendon.

 

"Young people and their teachers were getting together to tackle the problem."

 

The conference, attended by both pupils and teachers, also heard other anecdotal evidence of pupils being advised to "wear their hair differently" to avoid being a target.

 

Essex County Council said it was unaware as to whether the "act less gay" comments were intended as homophobic, but was looking to address bullying of all forms.

 

The comments were reported in a report to the council by Julie Keating, principal officer from the authority's children support service.

 

It read: "Pupils wanted teachers to be more accepting of difference in school. Anecdotal evidence on the day of students being told to act less gay or to wear their hair differently as teachers felt they were making themselves a target for bullies was a current theme."

 

Cabinet member for education at Essex County Council, Stephen Castle, said: "I think the critical issue for us is to ensure bullying of any kind is taken seriously and I think the conference has helped to do that.

 

"What it has done is give young people the chance to talk about how bullying works today."

 

The Essex secretary of the National Union of Teachers, Jerry Glazier, said pupils needed to be given the confidence to report bullying in order to break the cycle.

I certainly used to bully effeminate bairns at school and I would encourage the kids of today to do likewise, it's the least they deserve.

[BrianFaePerth]

Good sound advice they'd do well to heed

[tup]

Dinna go to school if you're that feart for yersels is my message to young poofs.

If Walter the Softy (clearly a trainee homo) had been Walter the Hard Man, would Dennis the Menace have bullied him? Eh dinna think so. His fault.

[tup]

It should just be accepted that if you are born with a squeaky voice, puny arms, a lisp, and hang about with lassies then you are going to be bullied, bigtime, every day.

 

There's nothing you can do about it so just get on with it, complaining makes the bullying worse.

 

Poofs with a sense of humour quite often got away with a black eye, for making you laugh, so I would encourage young gays to work on their one liners if they wish to avoid brutality.

Ok, eh'll let ye off this time.

[Bluto10]

if only someone had told that cunt TheG_L_A.

 

he is one raving little mincer.

[Bluto10]

theres a village called Alford that breeds queers by the thousands.

must be all the inbred genes floating around.

[BrianFaePerth]

Eh had a black English teacher at school called Gaylord Godfrey.

 

He was a raving mincer, but also a body builder, so ye would never ever laugh at him or his name in his presence

[tup]

You often find that poofs can turn into violent and reasonably tough adults, mainly because they've been bullied so much they take to the weights in an effort to combat it, little realising that they will simply be dismissed as poofs with muscles, it wisna the weakness that was the issue you daft homosexual, it was the batting for the other side, which no amount of gym time can cure.

[phoenix]

I take it you guys are being tongue-in-cheek neanderthal.

 

Otherwise how would you like some big hairy-arsed Desparate Dan type knockin' lumps oot o' you ?

 

It's a' relative , y'ken.

 

Soft boys sometimes have brains and turn out to be the employers of men.

 

Then ye winnae be sae chikky fan yer income and support for yer femily come intae the picter.

Same advice should probably be given to kids of a different ethnic background as well to avoid bullying.

They should act less Black or Asian.

If fact rather than pass all these laws about racial abuse these people should be told to stop bringing it on themselves.

[Bluto10]

You'll know where you're going for your next holiday then

 

 

 

nope.

 

avoided the place like the aids ridden cesspit it is, since i heard about it.

 

place should be flattened, with all bummers in it.

one big mass gay grave.

[tup]

I'm no racist, but I hate poofs to clarify matters.

 

I feel they complain far too much and should just take the kicking and get on with it.

 

This school is right, act less gay if you want to avoid bother.

[Jones]

Oh noooooes, not "worrying"!! The most damning of all the labels.

 

God journalism in the UK is a crock of shit.

I was at the World cup in New York in 94 and the weekend I was there happened to coincide with that Stonewall group having a 25 year celebration march, a quarter of a million poofters in town for the thing, the hotel I was in was hoaching with them, most looked like they'd came straight out of village people rehearsals. Was an eye opener for a young loon fae boxy.

I'm staying in a rather fruity looking hotel in Canal Street in Manchester for three nights for the Stone roses gig next year.

 

I also have a boxed set of "Queer as Folk" which had a lot of action in Canal Street.

 

Make of that what you will.

I won the trip and had no idea I'd be put in a hotel with a hoard of raving poofters or that the march was taking place, I even avoided the free drinks in the bar from 6 till 8 because it was rammed with them, make of that what you will.

Does the vandalism to the street sign still exist so it reads as 'anal treet'? If not, get your tipex out Boof and go and sort it,
