The Homophobia Project
April 2007 - July 2007
IImagine a world where everyone is lesbian or gay. All children are brought up by same sex couples and are conceived through artificial insemination. Despite 1 in 9 secondary school students ‘questioning’ their sexuality being hetero is still often viewed as something dirty or wrong. Many young people are bullied at school because they are thought to be heterosexual and ‘hetero’ is used as a word to mean pathetic or stupid.
How would it feel to live in this world?
This production explored the emotional impact of homophobia in schools and aims to use a unique blend of drama and peer education to challenge homophobic behaviour. It toured to secondary schools across Surrey and beyond in Summer 2007. With generous funding from MediaBox we are now adapting the production into a film to be used in schools. See The Homophobia Project Film for more information.
A production and workshop performed by young people for young people, for Key stages 3 and 4.
