Name-calling and cruel language hurt, say the teens who speak in this documentary. Homophobic language is a common verbal put-down among young people, but many adults feel uncomfortable responding to it. This video speaks directly to teens and offers a valuable tool to others who want to explore the homophobic language heard both in and out of schools - the words themselves, their origins, how young people feel about them, and how to overcome the hurt and anger they cause.

"In other words" is part of the NFB collection Celebrating diversity : resources for responding to homophobia"--Container.
