    Gay slur or not Bieber shouldn't have hit a 12 year old kid! How classless.

    I've said it once, I've said it a million times. Justin Bieber is a tool and a gay guy. Only the ones who violently attack someone over a gay slur generally are gay lol.

    Honestly I don't blame him. EVERYBODY makes fun of Justin Beiber calling him a faggot. He's a sixteen year old boy. I was listening to the radio and heard a like 40 year old guy call Justin a wussy. Were any of us really that tough at his age. I couldn't imagine the whole world calling me a faggot at his age.

    This.

    Not only that, a little research goes a long way.
    1) The boy repeatedly targeted Bieber in the game
    2) He just got his hand pushed away after calling him the slur
    3) Four or so witnesses all claimed the same thing (and they didn't have any relation to Bieber)
    4) The boy's father is a lawyer. Hmm. Wouldn't be the first case of "Hey, over do the story so we can sue and get some money".


    Also, on a side note, we preach on this site about how gay bullying is such a horrific thing and should be stopped. Very true, but then we see this. Words hurt, so I don't see why people find it so appropriate to hate on a celebrity so much. Just because you're in the spotlight doesn't mean you've suddenly lost all feeling. It's NEVER okay to hate someone because of who they are, as we've preached 1,000 times ourselves. Why some people just go back and do it to someone else, I have no idea.

    ^This.

    I seriously don't get why everyone hates him so much. I'm not really a fan, but I'm not gonna go around making fun of him. Yeah, he's a bit cocky, but he's 16. He's popular and people like him, get over it.

    As for the whole laser tag thing:I don't trust anything that the papers or websites are saying. The story always changes.

    He's taking part of the "It Gets Better" campaign.

    Guess he realized exactly how much it hurt. Good for him.

    I find him annoying. But annoying or not, no one should ever be called that name.

    Whether or not he is gay I really don't think he should have been called that name, I don't think anyone should. It's a highly offensive name even in a joking manner.

    And I'm glad to hear he's being part of the campaign! :thumbsup:

    It can't be easy when 90% of the Internet seems to consist of people saying that being young and baby-faced means you must be gay.

    I still say he's gay. He's frankly too much of a ladies man to be straight. Like he overplays it way too much.

    As for the It Gets Better:

    Love this line lol

    If the child did the wrong thing, he is to be punished. Otherwise, how is the brat supposed to learn what is wrong and what is right?
