High School Referendum: No to Homophobia! Yes to same sex marriage & equal love rights!
Do you think that all people, regardless of gender & sexuality should have the right to marry? Cast your vote! ==>
Resistance, a socialist youth organisation, and Highschools Against Homophobia are initiating a high school referendum against homophobia and for same sex marriage rights from Aug 2 – Aug 6. The tragic case of Alex Wildman, a high school student who suffered intense homophobic bullying, in Lismore, who killed himself on July 25, 2008, indicates a great need for anti-homophobia campaigning on high schools.
