Shh! Silence Helps Homophobia:
"Our new campaign – Shh! Silence Helps Homophobia – asks people to stand
up and speak out against homophobia in Education! The campaign will feature
as part of all LGBT Youth Scotland's education activities for 2014-15.
Homophobia often goes unchallenged, as people are unsure or afraid to name it.
As a result, many people either choose to ignore homophobic situations altogether
or deal with the situation without mentioning the real issue- homophobia.
This campaign aims to highlight the importance of naming homophobia and giving
a clear message that it is never acceptable.
Central to the campaign is the Shh! Silence helps homophobia film, which has been
developed with support from the Fife Cultural Partnerships Fund created by the Fife
LGBT Youth group, 'Flavours of Fife', who scripted it and got funding for a film, which
is now being rolled out nationally as part of LGBT Youth Scotland's education campaign":
