[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]

Being called gay is not really an insult anymore [/quote]

NP. What do you mean? Yes, "gay" is a factual term and often used as such, but it can also be used as a slur. Like queer.

I agree that a child should be raised so that they don't feel insulted if someone genuinely thinks they are gay, but obviously it was being used as an insult. Just like recently my child was told repeated that he "sounded like a girl" on his headset. Girl is not a bad word, and no one in our family hates girls, but obviously the other kids were using the term to make fun of him. Is the insult misogynistic? Yes. Is my son misogynistic for not appreciating the intent to insult? No. Does he sit around worrying that he sounds like a girl? No. Did he block those kids and move on to another group of players? Yes.
