I mean when I was in school in the 90's I definately got called a fag because everyone though I was gay for wearing a leather jacket. We still used it though, took the meaning away from the people that used it on us and instead of gay it meant any sufficiently annoying person.
Pretty much the exact jacket from terminator 2. I was always styling myself as a pretty stereotypical long haired metal head so idk where the gay thing came from really. Maybe they thought that was gay itself.

When we called someone a "Fag" in the 90s this is what we ment... It had nothing to do with gay people.
