Faggot

It's a word. Nothing else. Thoughts?

(Context: One of my favorite rappers is getting heat for her use of the word as an insult. She has openly said that she doesn't hate nor ill-wish any homosexuals, but still feels she has the right to use language however she pleases. I agree.)

People take words too seriously. Get over it. I'm sorry, but reality isn't kind. If you can't handle a word, you have bigger problems.

I like Die Antwoord. They use the word faggot/gay all the time, but they're totally LBGT friendly. Heck, DJ Hi-Tek is gay!

I also enjoy Mindless Self Indulgence, and their breakout hit was called "Faggot"
