A quick follow-up to yesterday’s post about homophobic and transphobic bullying in UK schools. Pink News reports that the government is to add protection for trans kids to the forthcoming Equality Bill. However, as with all these things, it will take time for the change to have effect. According to the Pink News report, gay and lesbian kids are supposed to have been legally protected in schools since 2007. The report I blogged about yesterday makes it clear that many schools are currently failing to comply with those regulations.
