kept my year 10 RS group totally engaged and brought forth very useful discussion on morality legality and religious aspects of homosexuality in the black community.

Hi,

I think you might help for you to look at our FAQs page:

We'll continue to look into your problem too.

I am very disappointed, I wanted to share this link on a radio show that was talking about this subject. I was able to look at this video before and now I can not because of some kind of rights have to be granted and there is now DVD link to purchesed this program, how can such a valuble needed subject that this program addresses be limited like this. Very sad indeed!

There is too much religious bigotry being used,if the bigots really knew their bible, they would not use religion as an excuse for homophobia.
As a paprent I made sure my sons knew being gay would never be an issue with me.
Parents need/must be more supportive, would society abandon a child with disabilities? Creation is about diversity.

i find it so depressing that parents are perpetuating this hatred today in the UK. parents who know what its like to marginalised, excluded and despised. makes me want to weep. those children in south london with hatred pouring off them, the ignorance. terrifying

This is the first film that I saw that has honestly dealt with the homophobia in the Black Community in Jamacia & London. It was very well done, and showed how this topic is still very taboo in a time & year that one would think is progressive.

I watched the programme along side another programme tacking gays, and it has changed my views slightly. i am a female of the afro caribbean community being brought to learn being gay is totally wrong, but the more i see is the more i learn. I have been to jamaica and see why the gay community has to hide as the music being produced to target the gays can be quite disturbing. i have always said men and women were to be, but never saw myself as a homophobic kind of person and would never consider myself to be in a gang bang on gays as im more against that then anything.
I believe weather your gay or straight your sexual business should stay behind closed doors as i dont want to be walking down the road and seeing to guys/girls kissing, in the same breath i dont want to see straight couple doing it either. everyone should be themselfs and keep certain things at home behind closed doors and not in toilets

I think its is great that the program has changed your view. But finishing the message by saying "and not in toilets" suggests to you are still basing judgement on your stereotype of a gay person!

Misstery's submission suggests she is taking steps in the right direction on this issue. I feel she has much further to go.
She also has further to go in her knowledge of spelling. I am incredulous. Her post, I hope, is not typical of teachers' ability in this regard.

Many people wonder what the fight for human rights is about. Why, some ask, do gay people still feel the need to march and make such a fuss? This video might give those who are genuinely asking a little insight into one aspect of the prejudice that still runs through our local and international society.
