Point well taken.
Ann said quite clearly that she wouldn't call Edwards a faggot.
But the left told Clara Lou that Ann called Edwards a faggot and Clara Lou apparently believes the left.
I'm not calling Edwards a faggot either. I would NEVER call Edwards a faggot. It would be crude and overreaching to call Edwards a faggot. I don't want to be crude or to overreach so I refuse to call Edwards a faggot. Faggot is one word I will just will not use in reference to Edwards. Never. Not faggot.
"Silky pony" and "Breck girl," while less crude, do convey the same general meaning as "faggot." Both are a little dated, however. We need to come up with something fresh.
