homophobic class mates

so we recently had our year 10 formal (it’s basically prom or homecoming if you aren’t from australia) and one of my friends is gay and also happens to be super stylish so she wore a very cute butterfly suit which her mum handmade (pictured below - blurred out her face for privacy)

we all think she looks incredibly, she got so many compliments and it was honestly my favorite outfit of the night. however it’s a few days later and the “cool/popular” kids added her to their group chat. when she looked through what they said there’s was lots of homophobic and transphobic comments about her

for example, calling her a man or thing cause she was wearing a suit, saying gays dress gross and much other mean shit

the issue is they also take the piss out of kids who snitch of them and the point of them adding her to the chat was so she’d give them a reaction. see left the chat and doesn’t seem to be upset by it all (she’s not really that type of person) and she took the piss out of them by changing her ig bio to “femme but still rock a suit better than your boyfriend”.

however, we are all still dissatisfied that these assholes can constantly do this shit and get away with it. i don’t know what kind of response i’m expecting from this, i guess if you have any suggestions that’d be great but this was me essentially just getting stuff of my chest
