Gay: a definition
This week we will be encouraging our students to think more carefully about the way they use the word 'gay' and to understand the consequences of using it in incorrect contexts. How would it make homosexual people feel to know young people see the word 'gay' as an insult? How could that affect the way a person deals with their sexuality? How might it make someone feel to be called gay when they are heterosexual? Is it ever ok to use other offensive words associated with homosexuality? Should a person's sexual preferences ever be discussed at all?
