I never use the word ‘fag’ but in the same context, having been an actor, I might say “Rehearsal is for sissies”,
which might cause the gay lobby a little confusion as they tried to figure out whether that word included them.
A Fag is not a conotation on gay people.
A fag is a guy that won’t down to the village to beat up queers! “George Carlin Occupation Fool Album”
