A comprehensive background section on homophobia and heterosexism includes information on: negative myths perpetuated against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, coming out issues, counselling ideas, violence prevention strategies, dealing with anti-gay slurs and how to support students by starting gay-straight alliances in schools. Teachers are provided with lots of concrete, practical strategies and lesson plans written by classroom teachers. The resource section provides a wide range of age-appropriate classroom resources from K-12 as well as parent and professional resources. Community groups and support services for LGBT people and relevant web sites are also listed."--Publisher's website (www.galebc.org)
