[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Gay” is still an insult causes hurt feelings in 2021? That might be something to explore, once the immediate issue is resolved. [/quote] +1 Being called gay is not really an insult anymore [/quote] Y'all don't have teen boys, do you?[/quote] I guess we're lucky, but my teen boy went to schools and played on sports teams where that stuff was not allowed. As a middle school coach, I made clear to the boys I coached that homophobia and racism were not tolerated, and in the years I coached had one kid test the boundaries of that exactly twice (calling another boy in the team "gay" as an insult). After the second time, I spoke with his parents and he left the team. Responsible adults don't tolerate homophobia, racism or sexist behavior. It persists in teen boy culture because adults choose to allow it. This is not complicated. [/quote]
