That's so gay! echoes down the hallways of schools throughout the US and the UK. We seek to create a safe space for all students, but sometimes it seems the most we can do is correct students when they say or do something homophobic.

Peterson Toscano has created energetic, positive and effective talks and performances for students that not only address name-calling but move into actual problem solving and community building.

Using performance, storytelling, interactive activities, and comedy, in small and large group activies, Peterson facilitates a discussion about homophobia and the impact it has on all students—lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning AND straight!

Using positive protocols for problem solving and self-reflection, Peterson helps students get beyond mere tolerance to a deeper understanding and willingness to create and maintain a healthy, safe environment for all students.
