British police launched an investigation of a 10-year-old boy because he used the word gay in an e-mail.
A father criticised a police force today for launching an investigation after his ten-year-old son allegedly called a schoolfriend “gay� in an email.

Mr Rawlinson, 41, said: “I could not believe what I was hearing when the officers told me.
“They told me they considered it a very serious offence, I thought they were joking at first.�
Police Inspector Nick Bailey said:
“The use of the word gay would imply this is homophobic but we would be hard-pushed to say this is a homophobic crime.�
Surely bringing the full force of the Cheshire Constabulary to bear on this heinous homophobic criminal is the only way to stop him, once and for all. Even better - shoot him several times while he’s already on the floor, like what happened to the Brazilian fellow that decided to run from plainclothes people who pulled guns on him.
