“I remember there was a really popular girl in my school, and I was obsessed with her, I mean, like you’d go to jail for that stuff today!” she laughed in an interview with OK! magazine.

“I was actually in tears one day because I couldn’t sit next to her. Yeah, I have issues!”

Boy band One Direction were booked to appear at the gay club Heaven by Jeremy Joseph, the promoter of Britain's biggest gay nightlife brand G-A-Y.

Roger Crouch and his son Dominic.

On 18 May 2010, Dominic wrote: "Dear Family, I'm so so sorry for what I'm about to do. I have been bullied a lot recently and had a lot of shit made up about me that ain't true."

On 22 February 2012, we read how 'a heartbroken father hanged himself 18 months after his bullied son committed suicide by jumping off a six-storey building'.

Roger Crouch, the former director of children's services for Gloucestershire County Council, had organised an award-winning campaign to highlight the problems of homophobic bullying of children.

Dominic "jumped from a six-storey building near his school amid rumours he was gay after he apparently kissed a boy for a dare."

The Crouch Family

According to The Guardian (Website):

'Eight in 10 secondary-school teachers and two in five primary-school teachers reported hearing homophobic insults such as "poof", "dyke", "queer" and "faggot".

'Ninety per cent of secondary-school teachers had witnessed children being subjected to homophobic bullying...

'In the United States, there has been a worrying spate of young suicides linked to homophobic bullying.

'Over a single week in September 2010, there were five deaths: 13-year-old Seth Walsh hanged himself in his California back yard; Tyler Clementi, 18, jumped off the George Washington Bridge; Asher Brown, 13, from Houston, shot himself in the head and Raymond Chase, 19, from New York, hanged himself in his university dorm room.'

Tennessee people (Scopes Trial - Wikipedia)

In Tennessee, in the USA, there is a bill to ban any discussion of homosexuality in Tennessee schools.

There is a fear this will encourage similar laws across the US.

The 'don't say gay' bill has passed the state's senate.

Opponents are concerned about the implications across the US as well as in Tennessee, where two teens, Jacob Rogers and Phillip Parker, have recently killed themselves after being bullied over their sexuality.

Gay rights activists urge Tennessee to halt passage of 'don't say gay' bill.

Bonobo chimps are our nearest relation in terms of DNA.

Dr Batsi Chikura, a member of London's Royal College of Physicians, has written: "Homosexuality: nature or choice?"

From this we learn:

1. Bonobo chimps have sex for breakfast, lunch and supper – any time is sex time.

They are also pansexual, which is to say they have sexual attraction and sexual desire towards all gender identities and biological sexes.

They have both heterosexual and homosexual sexual contacts and even group sex.

2. Sex serves an important function in the Bonobos’ community in keeping the society together, maintaining peaceful and cooperative relations.

When Bonobo groups meet in the forest, sex is part of the greeting ritual.

Fights and tensions in the group are quickly resolved by an outburst of sexual activity.

If humans could adopt the Bonobos’ concept, wars will be a thing of the past.
