To some of these boys, who are from really red states and have families with military history, to be called gay is the worst thing imaginable, and that's used against them.

If the people drawn into competitive endurance tickling, even if they were straight, came from liberal, accepting backgrounds, the backlash of calling them gay wouldn't be a problem. But it's a problem because of where these people are from. That's really fascinating to me.
