SANTA ROSA — When a few classmates razzed Rebekah Rice about her Mormon upbringing with questions such as, “Do you have 10 moms?” she shot back: “That’s so gay.

”Those three words landed the high school freshman in the principal’s office and resulted in a lawsuit that raises this question: When do playground insults used every day all over America cross the line into hate speech that must be stamped out?

Now, I am gay & I don't really have an issue with anyone saying "thats so gay". However, I do have an issue with how "thats so gay" is used. I think that most gay people would be sensative to never say "Do you have 10 moms?", so that could be an inappropriate use of the phrase. Furthermore, I think that the statement "do you have 10 moms is quite inappropriate as well.

The religious slur should have also landed the other students a repremand as well, The article doesn't mention anything about that however.
