Campaigners against homophobic bullying in schools have translated posters into modern Hebrew as part of a UK-wide programme.

Through a joint initiative between gay rights groups Keshet UK and Stonewall, a series of translated tolerance posters have been put up for the first time at a Jewish school, JCoSS in
Barnet.

The posters read: “Some people are gay – Get over it!”

Keshet UK volunteer Benjamin Ellis said seeing the poster in Hebrew “had a real impact. It marked a space where it is possible to be Jewish and gay, something I never felt existed growing up as an Orthodox Jew.”
