Homophobic bullying remains a problem in schools and workplaces
Homophobic bullying remains a problem in many schools and workplaces. Earlier this year, two lesbians were awarded damages after they were harrassed by colleagues in a Cork city fast food outlet. Cork Pride Week is celebrating 20 years since homosexuality was decriminalised and Cork's RedFM is running a week long series of lunchtime reports on what it means to be gay in Cork. (Click above to hear report #3 from Fiona Donnelly - it starts with JP McCarthy talking about getting attacked because of his sexuality)
