Get over it
Edited on Tue Jul-19-11 01:50 PM by Ichingcarpenter



My favorite actor at a demonstration in support
of the Stonewall's Education for All campaign to tackle homophobic bullying in schools.


Some people are gay. Get over it!

The uncompromising statement and powerful design were developed in collaboration with 150 secondary school pupils and teachers for Stonewall.


The slogan was originally launched in November 2007 by Dr Who and Torchwood star John Barrowman as part of Stonewall's Education for All campaign to tackle homophobic bullying in schools.

After the launch, 600 billboard panels, kindly donated by Titan Outdoor Advertising Ltd, depicted this legend in giant, tabloid-style capital letters, on a bright red background at sights in England, Scotland and Wales. In September 2009 the simple, striking poster campaign appeared on 20 major railway stations advertising screens and on 3,500 interior bus panels in November 2009 for Anti-Bullying week.

The zero-tolerance message of Stonewall's anti-bullying campaign has been endorsed by politicians and celebrities alike. These include Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Stonewall co-founder Sir Ian McKellen, Alan Carr, Rhona Cameron, Sarah Waters and Dannii Minogue.
