And what you dont understand is assigning a stigma to a word meant to dehumanize gay men. Your rationalization is beyond stupid and literally makes no sense. "just say the full word! say it!!!" why? Who's oppressing you? Other gays? You're now going to recite an orwellian nightmare future if we stigmatize the humanization of gays? Why not end this dystopian nightmare of "policing" language by running around using "the N word" every 3 seconds?

You seem like the kind of gay stooge who just smiles and thinks you've made some sort of power move if you smile when some homophobe spits in your face. You can censor a word to show respect to the people you're referring to. We're not here to recite right wing talking points.

I'm sorry I'm not sufficiently infantile and unwilling to stoop to your level to pretend the word "faggot" doesn't exist as a word. And yes, I've been called that before as an insult. No, that doesn't mean I automatically have a freakout or feel the need to be sheltered from the word itself when discussing the word.

Your rationalization is beyond stupid and literally makes no sense.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Uh huh, anyways I've heard rap music that uses the word far more than merely once every 3 seconds.
