Thinking beyond the Binary. By Dr. Alison Rooke, Goldsmiths College.

On the 22^nd of April 2006 something quite remarkable happened. This was the first weekend of a series of workshops that I was to be involved in as part of the Sci:dentity Project. Just to give some background, the Sci:dentity Project is funded by the Wellcome Trust as part of their Pulse programme, which seeks to engage young people in learning about science through art. Sci:dentity poses the question ‘What is the Science of Sex and Gender?’ to a group who are living sex and gender with a degree of complexity. Based at the Central School of Speech and Drama, the Project has been working with a group of fifteen young transgendered and transsexual people aged between 14 and 22 in a creative exploration of how sex and gender are understood by medical science.

Village Spartans Rugby Team, Cheshire Say No To Homophobia Campaign

Western Cheshire Health Promotion have developed an A2 sized anti-homophobic bullying poster for use in young peoples venues including schools. 

The posters have been developed with the support of Manchester Village Spartans Rugby Team and have already been distributed throughout schools, colleges and other venues in the North West and beyond.  They have been featured in local LGBT publications including Out Northwest and have been promoted at anti-bullying conferences around Cheshire. The initiative has also been supported by the Healthy Living Network, Cheshire Police and Connexions. 

The concept is based on an idea developed in Australia, which uses positive images of soap opera and sports people to endorse the message that ‘homophobia is weak’.  It is felt that displaying the poster will also send out a reassuring message to young people who may be LGBT.

The Equality Authority - Equality In A Diverse Ireland

The Equality Authority and the BeLonG To Youth Project have undertaken a joint initiative to respond to the voice of young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people demanding an end to homophobic bullying in second-level schools. The initiative seeks to give a visibility within schools to the issue of homophobic bullying through the use of posters that establish the school's commitment that "Homophobic bullying is not acceptable in our school". The initiative seeks to stimulate and inform school actions to tackle the issue of homophobic bullying through an information booklet "Making your school safe for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students". A postcard is being distributed nationwide to publicise the initiative through record stores, cafes and other venues frequented by young people.
