and When came out we walked past this guy and He calls me a fag

and I hurried up and went out the door...and he said fag what r u running for...and my girlfriend is walking with me...tshe turns around and is walking backwards

and she has to open her big mouth and starts saying shit back to him..

my parents are pissed  because she didn't just walk away...said something back

At least she didnt punch the guy out.... i would have.

People like that are jerks when they  wake up in the morning and they'll be jerks when the go to sleep at the end of the day nomatter what anyone says- or says back- to them. Why play their childish name-calling game?

But for the parents, I understand their position - probably thinking, don't confront a jerk who wants a confrontation or it might escalate. And that's true, it might. But they should, at most, say they disagreed with the GF's actions and leave it at that.

I disagree with most of you . I think he did the right thing by ignoring the jerk and walking away. He dangled the bait and she took it like a fish. Why do you think he said those things? It was to get a reaction and she cave in and gave the jerk what he wanted.

Even though I'm sure there are underlying factors to the insult... Guys just don't call other guys fags unless there is some truth to it. PLus he ran instead of "walking away." Which I 'm sure really did make him look sissy-ish...

Guy's call other guys 'fags' and 'gay' all the time. Nobody should give a shit...

There's an alarming amount of sexism and homophobia on this topic... I must say I agree with al legator on this one :/ It's also probably not great top confront strangers who want a fight, just leave...
