To mark Pride Month, we wanted to ensure voters were able to share their experiences of what it means to be LGBTQ+ today, so that they can help drive forward solutions to the problems the community still faces.
Secondary, 16+ & College voters were asked: “Have you heard your peers use homophobic language?”, while Primary 9-11 voters discussed: “Have you heard people being homophobic?”, and Primary 5-9 voters considered: “Have you heard people using unkind names?”
31,875 young people in the UK have taken part in this vote.
