Abstract
This paper reports on preliminary findings from research that examines anti-homophobia education in teacher education courses across New South Wales, Australia. In this research, anti-homophobia education is seen as pedagogical approaches that endeavour to address the inequities imposed by homophobia and heterosexism and which explore the discrimination towards non-heterosexual relationships. It also attempts to develop an awareness and understandings of the positive experiences and concerns of sexual identities that transcend heterosexuality. In this study, the focus of anti-homophobia education was related specifically to lesbian and gay identities.
