Abstract

This book tells the stories of children's experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender identities in their families, communities, personal lives and schools. Researchers, practitioners, interest groups, policy makers and young people came together over 18 months until May 2007 in an exciting and innovative project. The narrative and analysis that emerged opens a new arena for everyone working with children. It presents new ways of conceptualising and overcoming homophobia and transphobia in educational settings ideas about how to translate policy supporting sexualities equality into the experiences of children and their families the voices of young LGBT people speaking about their experiences of childhood fresh insights for people who work with children and have not considered the importance of sexualities equality for children’s lives a vital contribution to building a fairer society
