TROY JENKINSON, TEACHER
“I fell into writing by accident. When I started as a teacher at my new school, I was informed by a governor that a pupil had been picked on for having two mums. At the same time, I found some children were still using the word ‘gay’ as an insult. Attitudes have changed since I was at school myself, and for the better, but I think we are still working in the shadows of Section 28.
