Primary schoolchildren should be taught about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual relationships to stop bullying, according to a union.

The TUC said much has been done to counter racism and sexism through equality education but not enough has been done to tackle homophobia.

Following the announcement at a conference in London both East and West Sussex County Councils agreed they are committed to promoting equalities for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual(LGBT) community.
