Standing proud

A strong crowd gathered at the NAB Auditorium at Docklands last week to welcome a new resource to help combat homophobic bullying in schools.

An initiative of the Safe Schools Coalition Victoria (SSCV) and gay and lesbian support group Minus18, the 32-page Stand Out guide is written by students for students to help create safe school environments for same-sex attracted and gender questioning young people.
