HOMOPHOBIC bullying is endemic in Welsh secondary schools and teachers
are reticent to take action, according to a report published today.
The survey by Stonewall shows almost two-thirds of lesbian and
gay pupils have been victims of homophobic bullying.
It said half of teachers fail to respond to homophobic language.
One Welsh teenager said, They know how to handle racism but
they dont clamp down on people for being homophobic.
