The first response to these questions is typically disbelief: “Six weeks? Is that all? Are you mad? Have you been into schools lately? Have you been in a classroom with a group of young men? You’d need six months! ”Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’: Challenging Homophobia in Australian Schools demonstrates in entertaining detail exactly what happens when teachers, students and parents discuss the emotionally charged topic of sexual diversity.
