Peers Outsmarting Homophobia (POSH) Booklet

Submitted by roz on Wed, 18/02/2009 - 4:15pm

Today there are many beliefs and assumptions about same sex attraction and same sex attracted people and sadly, the best known of them are very negative and harmful.'Homophobia - you don't have to wear it' is the message of this booklet.

These negative beliefs were invented many years ago by the church, (homosexuality is a sin) psychiatry & psychology (homosexuality is an illness) and by the law (homosexuality is a crime) and they were used to stop people from having same sex sexual encounters and from feeling good about themselves.

Read what other young people have to say and make sure you have lots of beliefs to choose from that make you feel good when you wear them. That way you will always outsmart homophobia.
