Double standard in "hate speech"

So I heard this news story alittle over a week ago. Yes, I love to listen to the news. I even listen to AM talk radio. That's besides the point though.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - When a few classmates razzed Rebekah Rice about her Mormon upbringing with questions such as, "Do you have 10 moms?" she shot back: "That's so gay."

Now there is a lawsuit pending. Not because the Mormon was picked on and stereo-typed. But because some classmates were told "That's so gay" in response to their insult. Now it's religion being assulted, not Christianity. But still. It's interesting to see how the power is switching in our country..... and it's sad.
