I see where you're going with this, and I admit I refer to things as "gay" on a fairly regular basis, much as I'm sure you have called your white friends your "niggas" but wouldn't dare say that to a black person unless you knew them well enough to know they wouldn't be offended. That being said, don't you agree that tossing the word "fag" around with people who have openly and honestly discussed their sexuality on this board can easily come across as threatening and aggressive? How are they supposed to know who's joking and who's not?
I'm not on any kind of crusade here. Trust me. I just think calling an openly gay person a fag for no reason is sorta shitty.
