A 16 year old kid is freaked out by a college with an apparent gay representative having a question on the app asking if they are so inclined....he doesn't feel anyway comfortable with it and it gets dissected to point of is he homophobic... Crazy but it just happened.

Maybe he is 16 and is totally uncomfortable with the conversation because he is uh 16!! Maybe he should be uncomfortable with the conversation. Hell there are many adults who would also be uncomfortable with it, it doesn't make them homophobic or racist or anything else. It means it isn't the right school for them, end of conversation.

BTW the PC police are alive and well - in order for the definition to be accurate there has to be some agreement on what is impolite or offensive. many many people need to reevaluate what should be offensive vs what is perceived to be
