i never said it didn’t mean what it means in this discussion. was just stating it was a word that described totally different, non-sexual things in the past.
i think you’re reading in what you think people mean.
I’m saying that I hear too many who throw the word “faggot” around whenever homosexual issues come up. I’m not reading anything into it that isn’t there.
Name calling might make those posters feel better, but it’s painting all of us with a very bad brush. And making it harder to bring people into the party. There are conservative homosexuals who would vote with us but are driven away. We can’t afford to lose a single vote anymore.
