Nothing you said changes the fact that unless you are using it to describe yourself or have explicit permission to by someone to use it in regards to them, you shouldnt be using the term.

Do you know how that word came into usage for homosexuals? It's because faggot is a bundle of sticks. Bundles of sticks were used to burn homosexuals at the stake.

wikipedia says you are not only a faggot, but you are a retarded one too, who doesn't even bother to research the nonsense you repeat like a parrot.

That's a retarded myth.

The word faggot has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women,[7] and reference to homosexuality may derive from this,[6][8] as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meager living by gathering and selling firewood.[8]

It's not a myth.
