Apples and Oranges
Apples and Oranges is designed to raise children’s awareness of the harmful effects of homophobia and gender-related name calling, intolerance, stereotyping and bullying. In the course of a lively in-class discussion among elementary students and an equity educator, children’s paintings magically dissolve into two short animated stories. In Anta’s Revenge, Anta finds out that creativity–not revenge–is the best way to deal with a school bully who makes fun of her for having two moms. Defying Gravity tells the story of Habib and Jeroux, two skateboarding friends whose relationship comes to a screeching halt when one of them finds out the other is gay.
