cw abuse, homophobic slurs
@Leucrotta I'm probably the exception there, because I had what I suspect is a relatively unusual experience growing up in the 80s: "fag" wasn't really a term of commerce when I was in elementary school, and I heard it /once/ in middle school - this is burned into my memory - and one of the Cool Kids said "hey whoa, my dad is gay, not cool", and everybody just... stopped using it.

@Leucrotta Northern Maryland, ...actually, if I was in middle school that would put it in 1989-90. It was a good school.
