CAMPA!CN against homophobia is being launched on billboards across
the UK alter proving successlul in schools.Stonewall, the gay
equality organisation, is unveiling 600 giant advertising panels
with the zerotolerance message: 'Some people are gay. Cet over
it.'Launched by 1orchwood star, John Barrowman, the billboards have
been donated by 1itan Outdoor Advertising Ltd to spread Stonewall's
campaign against homophobia in schools to the wider
public."Homophobia is almost endemic in our schools and blights the
lives ol people throughout society," says Stonewall Chiel
Lxecutive, Ben Summerskill. "Across Britain, this plainspeaking
slogan will remind people that discrimination is no longer
acceptable."1he billboard campaign comes alter campaigners welcomed
new government guidance that tells schools to treat homophobia as
seriously as racism. THE UK M!SS!0N T0 the UN says it is
'disappointed' to be deleated in its attempts to get gay groups a
seat at the United Nations.1he UK was among seven nations that
wanted LCB1 rights groups lrom Spain, 1he Netherlands and Brazil to
have observer status in UN business. But representatives lrom
China, Lgypt, Pakistan, Oatar, Russia, Sudan and Burundi voted
against accepting the groups."1he UK will continue as in previous
years to support and lobby on behall ol application lor UN
accreditation by NCOs," a spokesperson lrom the UK Mission told
3S!XTY. "We believe they would make valuable contributions to the
work ol the organisation."Despite the setback, the lnternational
Lesbian and Cay Association (lLCA) says more countries want gay
groups at the UN than ever belore."Only two years ago we were in a
much more dillicult position and even a tied vote was a dream,"
says Philipp Braun, CoSecretary Ceneral ol the lnternational
Lesbian and Cay Association. "1he LCB1 community is gaining ground
at the UN."SEXIEST 0AY1he world's sexiest gay man will be revealed

and their trans lriends that they should go somewhere else to
eat.1he group are bringing a compensation claim ol E3000 against
the restaurant under the new Sexual Orientation Regulations, which

us the restaurant had run out ol pizzas and to try somewhere else,"
says Michael Kemp, one ol the gay customers. "Who's ever heard ol a
Pizza Hut running out ol pizzas?"Pizza Hut has said the restaurant

the Covernment lor relusing to let an lslamic preacher into the
country.lmaam, the support group lor gay Muslims, says that Sheikh
alOaradawi should be allowed into the UK even though he recommends
the execution ol gay people."Banning a cleric like Dr Oaradawi can
only contribute to the idea that Muslims are synonymous with
extremism," says a spokesperson lor lmaam. "1he Home Ollice is
contributing to a climate ol lslamophobia."Cay rights campaigner,
Peter 1atchell, also criticises the Home Ollice decision, saying
Oaradawi should be allowed in lor medical treatment. "Oaradawi is
homophobic and an advocate ol terrorist attacks," says Peter. "We
should show that our liberal, humanitarian values are better than
his bigotry."1he Home Ollice is relusing Oaradawi entry to the UK

is calling lor gay people to be counted in the next census.1he
1rades Union Congress wants sexuality to be included in the census
so local authorities take notice ol the gay community. "1here are
no statistics on LCB1 people and this means they are missing out,"
says 1UC Regional Secretary Megan Dobney. "Decisions on allocation
ol resources are taken on the basis ol the census and LCB1 people
are unable to get their share as there's no data on them."1he
Ollice ol National Statistics (ONS) says it won't include the
sexuality in the 20 survey because people may lind the question
unacceptable. An ONS spokesperson told 3S!XTY that it knows the
inlormation is important, but says estimates lrom other surveys are
more accurate than results lrom the compulsory national
