Justin Bieber targeted by homophobic brat during laser tag match in Canada

I know I don't usually write about Justin, and if I do, normally I'm making fun of him.  But he's just a 16 year old diva kid, and what happened to Justin over the weekend wasn't cool, man.

Justin Bieber was on the receiving end of the kind of hate-filled bullying that has made headlines recently --- during a laser tag match Friday night, he defended himself from an aggressive kid who referred to Bieber as a "faggot" ... sources close to the investigation tell TMZ.

We're told a shocked Bieber replied, "Excuse me?" Sources say the other kid responded, "You're a faggot" and then put his hand out toward Bieber and Bieber pushed it away as he left.

Contrary to several news reports, we're told Bieber never struck the other boy.

Law enforcement tells TMZ it was the boy's father who filed the complaint hours later ... and our source says the father was heard at the scene repeatedly telling people, "I'm a lawyer."

Oh, jeez.  Here we go.  Money-grubbing attorney-dad has dollar signs in his eyes.  I really hope Justin doesn't end up paying this kid and his dad off just to make them go away. 

A-holes.
