The word "faggot" may be used in reference to any male who is overly refined, delicate, and has effeminate mannerisms.
Could you tell us what dictionary you used as a basis for your comment? Webster's Dictionary says: a male homosexual.

Passive, weak, mewling Americans have allowed the left to define their world and critical words in their world. The left tells them when to become angry and how angry they may become. The ultimate expression of the left's power grab is hate crime legislation. Such legislation gets passed with the connivance of Republicans who have allowed the left to define the world.

Ann's is one of the few brave voices still speaking in opposition to that power grab. She did so here. And it put you and people like you into a panic. Sad.

I wouldn't use the word faggot to describe anybody. It's too crude by half. But it isn't illegal and shouldn't be illegal to use it. And it definitely isn't my intention to allow the left to force its worldview straitjacket on me in the way it apparently has you.

I am not surprised, by the way, that a lot of Giuliani groupies are taking up cudgels to beat Ann for this utterance. And yet they assure us we need not be concerned for our First Amendment freedoms if ex-prosecutor Rudy is elected chief law enforcement officer of this nation.
