Kirstan Michelle Scott! that may be so in UK English, but i never once heard a US English speaking person ask me for a 'fag' the term fag is an abbreviation of the word 'faggot' which is a derogatery term for male gay people in.. US and UK english. End of story.
Nikolai Kleppe. I would just like to say that "Fag" is just a word. As soon as you stop letting it hold power over you, you instantly render it meaningless, not sure if you are gay or not but this is all hypothetical anyway. I realize it's a terrible word, and I don't use it simply because of the response it elicits. The thing is; it doesn't have to elicit a response. Just saying. Oh and Rob Halford is a fucking badass.
Here is a better way to show this:
Justin Beiber: Male Bitch.
Queen Lead Singer Freddie Mercury: Gay, Homosexual, Fag, whatever word you wish to use. Still a real singer.
Are you sure that is enough political correctness? Perhaps we should say...
Justin Beiber: Insecure, whiny little boy.
Freddie Mercury: Strong, tough and secure male with an alternative lifestyle.
Or you can STFU and GTFO my Interwebs. I hate watering down a good joke.

The use of "fag" or "gay" as a pejorative has nothing to do with homosexuals. Each of the words have quite a few meanings and it's irrational for one group to take offense to it. If I say "Subway is gay because they keep making their sammiches with less meat!" ... am I talking down to all happy people? Obviously not, it's an entirely different connotation. So, what kind of gay logic is it to think calling someone a "fag" has to do with homosexuals more than cigarettes or bundles of sticks? The pejorative is a completely individual word.
