It’s a crude slur and should be edited out. I don’t want my kid calling another boy a “faggot” because he learned it on the radio.
Here is an idea: teach your boy not to call another boy names. ;-)
I bet he’s learned a lot worse on the playground or bus...
Please....
Soooo sensitive.
Your name suits you.
You’re going to eventually have a long and running list of crude and banned words to police. There are tons of them and new terms come up all the time. Attempting to sanitize speech is a never ending and futile job.
You're right...We should call the queer perverts something like culturally diversified or just gender bender...
You should stay away from all schools then. This word is on the top ten list of most used words in most middle schools.
So, roll the dice and turn him on to Celine Dion. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
ummm there’s a whole lot worse stuff on the radio you ought to be more worried about your boy picking up than the word “faggot”.
Besides “faggot” also has other meanings. Faggots were small kindling sticks and faggot gatherers were people who went arond collecting these sticks to sell to others for kindling. Prior to that faggot was a term ascribed to the elderly.
you could maybe sit down and talk to your boy about the term, proactively, too, in case - God forbid - he ever hears it tossed around somewhere, not just on the radio.
So what do you do if and when you boy reads “Huckleberry Finn” and comes across a certain racial slur?
“It’s a crude slur and should be edited out. I don’t want my kid calling another boy a “faggot” because he learned it on the radio.”
It’s intended to be a crude slur. Faggotry is crude and it wants to have sex with your boy. He needs to be taught faggots are crude and deserve scorn.
Let's ban the words faggot, gay, homo, slut, Jesus, God, bitch, John, and GOP PARTY ANIMAL....
Wouldn't that be a hoot!!!
What a coinkydink !
That's precisely what the gaystapo faggots said before launching this particular book lyrics burning episode !
