What about those who are bullied for the clothes they wear, weight, or intellectual acumen? Offering money for suffering insults and other forms of bullying doesn’t solve the problem. Teaching children how to respect one another — both at home and in the schools — would be much more appropriate.
Excellent point – but you overlook one crucial distinction. Right now, grievances by Gays – real or imagined – take precedence over all else. Gay rights are the current cause celebre of our social and political elites. The fact that the settlement in this claim is only $5000 speaks eloquently to how weak the claim was – but, count on it, there will be many, many more.
