The thing is, I never considered it anything other than simple and juvenile bullying, but my being outed is, by today's standards, probably an arrestable offence

But was it really a hate crime? Or was it some fuckwit brat being unpleasantly stupid? I know I considered suicide after it, but that was, surely, because of what was inside me, not him?

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
