We had a campaign in Canada called "'That's so gay' is so yesterday" when I was in school. A lot of classrooms had stickers or posters with that quote. IDK how well it worked in general but definitely had an effect on me, especially since I was at an age where I didn't really understand what homosexuality even was, and one of my first exposures to the word was that it's not okay to use it as an insult.
