Despite his other comments Clint raises a good point "If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live ....
Clint is right in this ,his other comments were very silly.

I do take offense to being called a "fag" and I have never told anyone I was a "fag". I have told people that I am gay. "Fag" is a derogatory word much the same as racial slurs.

I agree. As long as the gay community tolerates that term, or any other derogatory term, in my opinion it only perpetuates the prejudice leveled against us.

I'll use the "F" word occasionally when joking within an all-gay group of friends, but normally it offends me. I don't even like the British colloquial usage meaning a cancerette.

I liked George's spoken piece. Nicely done.
