How many people do you think use the word f*g to insult a person they dislike?

Answer 1

A lot of people use the term, but generally don't use it to refer to homosexuals. It's a term that people say too much without actually thinking about what it means. I'll be honest, I use the word and never think about it as a derogatory term for homosexuals. Hopefully one day, I'll stop and realize that what I am saying is offensive to some people, even if I don't mean for it to be.
