I have been called a f*ggot a fair number of times by complete strangers...

And, as an openly queer person, it scares the living $#!+ out of me every single time. For many who are victims of hate crimes, it is the last word they hear before they get killed by some bigot. Using that word with the intent to insult IS WRONG, no matter how you spin it. I will join everyone else in giving you a blue star if you continue to defend this.

As a side note, it pleases me to no end to see the board step up and speak out against homophobia when it occasionally pops up here. This is one of the few sports message boards that does not tolerate homophobia, and it's just one of many reasons I am proud to be a Ute fan.

GO UTES!!!

o NEW: Since when does faggot have a derogatory notion to it? It used to mean a crotchety old woman as well as a pile of sticks. Gays just decided to take it away from our "acceptable" vocabulary. I wasn't calling the Cal fan gay, just a looser.
