New York's was struck down in 2014. Minnesota's Supreme Court just overturned a cyber bullying case because of the same thing. Trying to define Cyberbullying has continually been met with court challenges because it is essentially taking kids freedom of speech when terms encouraging harm or illegal acts aren't present in the speech.
But in this case the facts are clear that this action would be likely to cause severe psychological and possibly physical harm. So I don't see any issue with it being "over broad".
For example I see you refused to say that inciting violence should not be against the law. So it seems that you agree that harassment and/or cyber bullying should be against the law just not in this case where it would protect a member of the LGBTQ community.
