If my friend were to call such names as "Bitch" or "Pussy" to a kid on the bus JUST for listening to music, I would tell him to just jump off the bus that instant and find a better thing to do. I would not want to be friends with someone who uses up his/her own valuable time to make fun of a student's musical preference. But to shout out such a word to random girls across a busy street in Downtown, I would be in complete shock.

I would say that the main equity issue that is being addressed is Sexual Orientation. This is because this "friend" of mine made an assumption of two random women walking across the street and calling them lesbians and calling a boy a "Pussy". Whether these girls were homosexuals, work acquaintances, sisters or just friends, it's none of his/her business!

The world is about diversity and one another preferences, you choose to prefer one gender over the other or one genre of music to another. Something, I would say in this situation, would be reminding this person of how they would feel if this were to happen to them or what it would be like to step in the shoes of the one being made fun of. But, if the school would have prevented this before it had even happened, then this student would be educated enough to not do idiotic stuff like this in the future. In public, in private and hopefully not even think about it. Thats what the L in G.L.S is for...Learning. ;D Which is why we are currently getting educated about this topic so we won’t commit this act in the future.

In conclusion, you should go to a G.L.S teacher, or more importantly your parents and talk about this problem. People deserve more than being called bad names. So why not show everyone some respect, whatever their sexual orientation and preferences.
