Cases of bullying appear to be down
There's a mixed feeling among LGBT youth in the Isle of Man when it comes to bullying.
So says the Rainbow Association, which represents the interests of gay, bisexual and transgender people in the Island.
It comes following a report by the UK's Stonewall charity, which shows reported cases of bullying on grounds of sexuality in the UK are down 10% since 2012.
However, 45% of LGBT pupils say they've been targeted because of their sexuality.
Rainbow spokesman Lee Vorster says, whilst there aren't any exact figures across the Island, the situation is ostensibly improving.
