It's all about context, and I'm afraid not everyone is mentally strong enough to deal with that - and saying 'well they're going to have to be' is such a cop out since that can't just happen overnight.
Brian Dowling is a grown man, not a 13 year old boy...

And yes a 13 year old will have to 'get over' insults, if meant in a jokey way or not as the world is far more scary than any name calling they may get on a school playground.

Also... I think if a gay 13 year old is traumatised by the term 'shirt-lifter' said in fun, he's going to be *******ing catatonic when he hears some of the stuff the real bigots will have up their sleeve.
