I think what you said about bullying shows a bit of ignorance. The idea you can teach people to "not give a shit" isn't right. It's like teaching black kids to "stop giving a shit" if their white classmates are racist. The whole principle that we should teach people to stay quiet and get on with it is wrong. We should teach gay and lesbian kids to be proud of who they are and to give some back ignorant people who are verbally abusing them, and definitely to fight back if it turns physical. For the record I don't think you're anti gay at all, you're certainly not malicious, I just think that you're thinking about this from your own perspective, and I really think that you could try thinking about it from a bullied gay kid's perspective if someone told them to just put up with it. I think we should teach people in general that being gay isn't something to pick on someone over, yea you're gonna get the assholes who do it anyway but at least the sort of normal people don't join in.

I don't think that you can teach that sort of thing.

People aren't born homophobic, it's learnt behavoir, so therefore it's theoretically possible to teach something different.

Agreed. Rather than educating the non-homophobes, we need to, if anything, educate their parents. However, if I were a parent, and my kid came home from school with a slip that asked me to come to a class that would teach me how not to be homophobic, I would be so fúcking bitter. Therefore, I think the best thing to do is let this whole thing just play out. As we integrate more gay rights into politics, society, etc. then we will see homophobia naturally vanish, especially in children.
