Don’t use gay in a negative way!
Members from the Crawley Young Persons Council (CYPC) along with other young people from Crawley have worked on creating and filming a short promo clip to challenge young people about using the word gay in a way that could cause offence.
This issue was raised at a CYPC Youth Question Time event and a sub group was set up to work with the Fixers Project on designing and creating the film.
The group are now working together to create workshop material backing up the film so that young people can go into schools and deliver the workshop to help raise awareness.
