BEYOND "THAT'S SO GAY": CHALLENGING HOMOPHOBIA IN AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS

If you could significantly change student attitudes toward gay men and lesbians, would you do it? What if it only took you one hour a week for six weeks? 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. The books author described himself as a young, gay, atheist when he successfully piloted a program challenging homophobia in an all-boys catholic school.

How does a young gay atheist “accidentally” and successfully pilot a challenging homophobia program in an all-boys Catholic school? The book details Daniel’s the issues that currently face sexually diverse young people in Australian schools and gives valuable strategies to help promote a safe environment for all. The book details past success through personal experiences and stories of other students. Daniel Witthaus is currently on a national campaign against homophobia. This book is a must have resource for all GLBT people.
