Stonewall’s normality

FET

‘Alternative lifestyles’ are being promoted to primary school pupils in the name of addressing homophobic bullying, writes Norman Wells of the Family Education Trust (FET) in June.

Stonewall have sent what they describe as a ‘ground-breaking film’ to every primary school in Britain to teach children to celebrate difference. The short clips from the film that are available on the Stonewall website indicate just how subtle and pernicious it is. In an attempt to normalise same sex relationships and alternative family types, the film, given free to each school, gives disproportionate attention to lifestyles that are far from typical.
