This is a free country Orwell. Fag and other words you personally find offensive can be used at will and should be without one having to worry about the thought police sirens screaming around the corner.

Sorry to break it to you but deal with it

Context, context, context….Among ourselves (LGBTQ)when the F word is used as self reference, usually in a sarcastic, self defacing way it can be nuetral, or even intimate. It is somewhat like the way the N word is used in Rap music and how some non white people of color use the N word in and amongst themselves.

I see it as a similar because non LGBTQ people have been using it for hundreds of years to oppress and harrass LGBTQ people, to beat, kill and maime us. My understanding of the reason people started to reference us as the F word was after they started burning us as bundles of sticks along with the witches and heretics they burned during the crusades.

I found the fact that someone on this “Bubba” show started calling you a “Pussy” because you were offended and called in to the show and then started to refer to you as a female even more disturbing. IT IS NOT OK! If they are so gay friendly why would they continue to use language that we say hurts us?

Used by someone outside the (LGBTQ) community the F word is NOT FUNNY! I have had enough of it! Instead of rallying around the next “Will & Grace” TV Homo Promo, do we need a 24/7 channel that displays the photo’s and videos of those LGBTQ people that have been harrassed, attacked, beaten to death, emotionally tortured to the point of killing themselves for these people to “GET IT” and have some compassion for us?

I wanted to leave this comment at the “Bubba” website, but couldn’t find the place to vote or comment on the use of the F word from the link that is posted on the gay agenda website.

um, i don’t mind people using the word fag, sorry everybody else who disagrees. whether they are straight or gay themselves, if they are not saying it to hurt someone else, i feel fine when people use it. it takes away the shock value and makes it more difficult for people to use it to be mean and hurt feelings. if people used it more in everyday language in a nice way, it would diffuse the word’s power.
