[quote=Anonymous]Well if you're not a troll -

I would have stepped in well before that to stop another kid abusing my child, OP.

This is nothing more than bullying.

I think you should apologize to your daughter for not defending her, and you should explain that the other kid was incredibly insecure about this revelation and decided to punish your kid for looking surprised or shocked or uncomprehending (which is entirely normal).
That sometimes insecure people do this, but that others don't deserve to be their punching bag.

No need to involve other parents. Tell your child to avoid this girl in the future, until she's calmed down somewhat. Your child does not owe anyone an apology and did nothing wrong.

Now the usual corollary to this kind of story is when the bully tells everyone at school that OP's child is anti-gay, and then OP's child is cancelled and ostracized. In any school I know of, that wouldn't happen, because kids know very well that some people like to exaggerate and dramatize, and OP's kid would just keep living her life with other friends, unconcerned at the loss of this ertswhile friend.
