A new project aimed at tackling homophobia and transphobia was endorsed by Home Secretary Theresa May last week at a parliamentary launch. Diversity Role Models, a campaign designed to tackle homophobia and transphobia by making well-known LGBT figures visible in schools was launched officially last week and is the brainchild of teacher and equalities campaigner and trainer Suran Dickson.
Patrons of the project include Roger Crouch, whose son killed himself as a result of homophobic bullying.
