Have you-or has someone you know-been a victim of homophobic abuse or hate crime?
Break the silence . This is not only for the benefit of LGBT people, but for our whole society.
By working together and spreading the word, we can break through the silence that surrounds the lives of people affected by homophobia and hate crime. We can help make homophobic behaviour unacceptable.
Silence Is Not Golden is not just a facility to raise awareness-we also make it easier for those people affected to report a hate crime by explaining what might be classed as a homophobic incident; why you should report it; and the different ways in which you can do so. You can also read the personal experiences and thoughts of others who have been courageous enough to speak out or contribute your own story.
Being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is not a crime-but abuse is. Everyone has the right to live without fear.
If you are a victim of homophobia- tell someone.
