French activist Louis-Georges Tin, founder of the International Day Against Homophobia, hopes to change that by having the United Nations adopt a resolution calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide. Data were gathered from British, Australian and American studies and publications relating to homophobia in schools and from semi-structured interviews with 28 'key informants' with relevant expertise. That is the background, says Feder, to understanding the acceptance by the European Parliament in January of a resolution denouncing homophobia (opposition to the "gay" lifestyle), passed by a vote of 468 to 149, with 41 abstentions. |
