Some of the work done in the area of homosexuality and education include that ofHetrick and Martin (1987; 1988), Uribe and Harbeck (1992), and Watney (1991) on anti-homophobic education; TeHjohann and Pierce (1993) on student experiences with homophobia in education; Sears (1992) on teacher and guidance councillor education on homo/bisexuality; Whatley Cfcs (1992) on representations of sexuality in sexual education text- books. The high school level was selected for this study because high school students are at the ages ofpuberty and dating—ages where sex and sexuality dominate their attention— and because the 1992 study by Masters, Johnson, and Kolodny reported that the most frequent attackers in lesbigay-bashing are adolescent males, attributing this violence to a rite of masculinity (Elia, 1993:178).	cache/ar-20322.pdf	txt/ar-20322.txt
