Young children reporting homophobic language is rising, professor says
Prof Renold, who advised on that report, told BBC Wales it was "not unusual" to find anti-gay comments "normalised" in primary schools.Image caption,"You will have children who are maybe gender non-conforming who can become targets of homophobic abuse, and I would say increasingly, transphobic abuse as well."
Ms Awen, now 19, realised she was gay as a teenager and had already encountered homophobia for so many years that it felt like "the end of the world"."I was terrified that anyone would find out."With those teachers I did have a good relationship with, I was too scared to jeopardise that relationship by telling them about my sexuality.
"When the teacher found out they seemed more put out about the fact the pupil hadn't come to them in the first place than actually responding to what had happened," Mr Thomas said.Director of teaching union NAHT Cymru, Laura Doel, said discrimination against LGBTQ+ pupils harmed their mental health.
