Beating Homophobic Bullying - High profile and celebrity supporters 

'Stonewall's Education for All campaign has shown how homophobic bullying has festered as a result of Section 28. I'm very proud of how hard this Government fought for repeal, and of the work the Department for Children, Schools and Families now undertake to ensure that lesbian, gay and bisexual people are safe and happy at school. I'm a proud supporter of equality and delighted to give Stonewall my full support for your activities for Anti-Bullying Week.'

- Gordon Brown, Prime Minister

'Every lesbian, gay and bisexual young person has the right to fulfil their dreams. But homophobic bullying affects their confidence and life aspirations. I'm delighted to back Stonewall's campaign to make sure all young people can realise their very own X-Factor.'

- Dannii Minogue, X Factor Judge and singer

'I'm a huge supporter of equality. But lesbian and gay young people don't get treated equally at school. They get stigmatised and bullied just because of who they are. Support Stonewall during Anti-Bullying Week so young people can achieve 100% of their potential.'

- Beverley Knight, singer

'If we all put our minds to it, together we can tackle homophobic bullying. Support Stonewall this Anti-Bullying Week to make sure all lesbian, gay and bisexual young people can lead happy and positive lives.'

- Derren Brown, illusionist

'Lesbian, gay or bisexual young people should never have to experience bullying. Stonewall's Anti-Bullying Week campaign shows them people are out there to support. Please get involved any way you can.'

- Skin, lead singer, Skunk Anansie

'I’m pleased to support Stonewall’s Education for All campaign. November’s anti-bullying week gives us the opportunity to highlight the prevalence of homophobic bullying in our schools and the impact it has on young people’s lives. More needs to be done to tackle bullying in all its forms and I fully support Stonewall’s campaigning to combat the problem.'

- David Cameron, Conservative Party leader

'I experienced homophobic bullying at university. It affected my academic work and made me feel isolated and afraid. Stonewall is there to challenge bullying, promote respect and educate so people don't have to suffer in the same why I did. Please support them for Anti-Bullying Week.'

- Amy Lamé, TV Presenter

'I’m very glad to be able to support Stonewall’s work to tackle homophobic bullying in our schools. In recent years, a great deal of progress has been made in achieving equal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people. But as National Anti-Bullying Week begins, it’s sobering to realise that nearly two thirds of LGB pupils have been bullied on the grounds of their orientation. Bullying is profoundly damaging to young people up and down the country and we have to act against it – the current failure to challenge homophobia wherever it is found cannot be allowed to continue.

Stonewall’s record in fighting for equality is second to none and it has done fantastic work for LGB people throughout Britain. I wish its campaign every success.'

-Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
