    Yeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.

    90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly

    Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that. It’s still too commonly used but nothing like it was back then.

    We had a couple weeks calling people "F.A.G.s' and "M.A.G.s" for 'female ass grabber" and "male ass grabber". As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.

    You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn't stand out against everything else the same way it does when you're older.

    I think this is true, but I also grew up without Internet or social media so maybe things were more regional as opposed to this larger shared culture those things have enabled. So that may be part of it?
