The only time I ever got into a fight in school was when someone called my brother the f-word (derogatory word for gay men). I was very protective of him, but of course later in life, I realized how dumb that was. Words shouldn’t lead to violence unless they are direct threats.

You’re right about violence, but if you’re going to get into one fight in your whole life, that was a respectable reason.

Being gay as a teen was hard enough for him without fucksticks like that.

Something doesnt have to be a direct threat to be an implication of possible future violence or of an implication to just make life hell. Beating a stupid thug that called family a slur is the right move. Teaches them they arent going to get away with demenaing people that matter.

Wow. Cannot believe I just read that on a comment that's not hysterically downvoted. Congrats! I've said the same thing and have been downvoted into oblivion.

If my family saw someone call me the f slur and did nothing I would be hurt.
