Birmingham, England: teachers report death threats after talking about LGBT equality

Story here

From the article:

“We still have dead animals hung on the gates of schools, dismembered cats on playgrounds.

“We have petitions outside schools, objecting to teachers teaching against homophobia.

“We have death threats on Facebook, for example towards me, ‘or any headteacher who teaches my children it’s all right to be gay will be at the end of my shotgun.'"
