A chap I know got a criminal conviction for calling a policeman a 'batty boy'. The openly gay officer said this distressed him.
The openly gay officer was probably slightly aggravated by it but knew the threshold for it being a crime was distress. Given that the phrase is a homophobic slur, it’s hard to feel sympathy for the convicted.
