Deal With It: Homophobia
And turn prejudice into pride - 2nd Edition
by Steven Solomon
illustrated by Nick Johnson
A timely resource for helping kids understand and resolve conflicts stemming from homophobia and bullying
That's so gay! is a phrase commonly heard in school halls and playgrounds. But when used as a put-down, it's also homophobic. With plenty of quizzes, Q+As, comics, and scenarios, this interactive and highly visual new edition of Homophobia: Deal with It helps kids determine what is -- and what isn't -- homophobia and what they can do to make their schools, homes, and communities more safe and inclusive for everyone.
