Studies have shown that words such as “gay,” “faggot,” etc. are commonly used in name-calling among boys, and that there appear to be numerous reasons why boys are called these names. Norwegian ninth grade pupils (n = 921) were recruited in order to find out whether they had ever called boys or girls gay-related names and, in such case, why. The present study shows that more adolescents reported that they have called a boy gay-related names as a response to the violation of gender norms than for any other reason. The adolescents were also more likely to have called boys gay-related names than to have called girls such names, regardless of the reason for the name-calling.
