"This story seeks to teach children about the right to equal treatment and freedom from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, which is guaranteed by section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ... By using gender-neutral names, unchangeable personal characteristics (eyes) and the concept of "best friends", this story draws an analogy to the same-sex marriage debate in Canada and opens up a discussion about discriminatory and exclusionary practices toward sexual minorities"--Page 23.
