There was a recent high profile story the news about an 11-year-old boy who mted suici, apparently bee he uld no longer tolerate beg lled “gay.” Sadly, this story is not unual. The most mon sult among kids today is “gay.” It is ed not only to mean "someone who is attracted to people of his/her own genr," but as a synonym for “stupid” or "bad." Kids get mad when they are lled gay and they sometim get to fights.

One of the problems wh makg illegal to ll someone “gay” is that vlat the First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech.
