(If there is another thread, I apologize. I did not see it and I thought it should be brought into attention)
I don't know about anyone else, and I don't try to represent anything or anyone's opinion.
I only represent my own.
The "F" Word I am referring to is 'Fag' or 'Faggot.'
Generally used to describe LGBT people. Yes, in the UK it stands as cigarette, but I am talking about the usage of the reference.
The main issue I want to bring up is, should LGBT people be able to refer themselves and others as 'Fags'?
In my opinion, You shouldn't be able to say "Don't say fag" and then refer yourself/others as one. It's a double standard, and I take offense whether it's LGBT or straight people saying it. I don't care if people think it's 'awesome' or an exlcusive-LGBT word... it still has a negative ring.
Fag is a demoralizing word.
