title: Practising with pride but not without prejudice.
abstract: This paper looks at the potentially oppressive consequences of demands that insist that health workers change their attitudes and values. It points out that nurses who accuse their peers of being homophobes or bigots are guilty of the same behaviour they condemn in others. It is argued that education can alter professionals' values where demands fail.
