“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 safer and more inclusive for everyone.
