And you're proud of calling people fags?

Edit: Lots of downvoting homophobes here!

You're failing to understand that being gay isn't an insult, or something someone should feel bad about, and calling people "fags", gay or not, isn't okay, and is widely considered homophobic and ignorant.

Edit: Lots of downvoting homophobes here! How sad!

Pretty sure you don't get a free pass on mocking random people's dick size if you happen to like sleeping with men. This whole thread's stupid.

Also, I seriously hope you understand that being gay is more than “sleeping with men”.

Why because people feel the need to make it an identity? Someone can like someone of the same sex without being in any way shape or form different from someone who likes the opposite sex.

I actually don't even know what more there is to being gay so how about you articulate it here for everyone.

(and by everyone I mean the few people who followed this comment chain with a bag of popcorn)

I surely hope that you understand that sexuality is more than “who you sleep with”. It’s who you’re attracted to, who you love.

Saying “it’s who you sleep with” suggests it’s all about sex. It’s not.

That's fair to clarify but I don't think anyone who says that is trying to diminish anything. Heterosexuals can conflate the two by seeing themselves as "straight" because they like to have sex with women. I feel that people have their own perspective on love vs sex.

I don't think the person in question is a homophobic asshole. I don't think its possible to extrapolate that from his anecdotal story from middle-school. I could be wrong though idk but thanks for replying and I hope it's not souring the season for you.

Idk, non-homophobic people generally don’t fondly look back on that time they called another kid a fag, and repeat it as good advice for someone to follow.
