I have only been somewhat taunted and called gay by only 1 classmate, but he wasn't too serious. Wich is a reason i never got Facebook, by the way. In my school, it's the gateway to online bullying and ''Imma go buy a banana!'' useless status updates.
They are just people thinking that they are cool for insulting people and being part of an (in their defenition) ''awesome'' group. Nothing to care about
