I implore all Freepers to quit using the word Gay and refer to the homosexual crowd as something else. Queer (That's a term the homosexual crowd seems to like), Homos, whetever else but not GAY. Once my mother said "Those bastards took a word that people used to name their children, a word that meant something pleasant, and turned it into a dirty, degenerate term." This homo-sympathetic liberal culture has tried to lessen the true meaning of homosexualism by using terms that seem endearing. Lets stop this nonsense and start taking our culture back by not being sympathetic to anything these people do or say. I don't want to appear hateful, just fed up with this load of crap that's been shoved towards the Americans that refuse to accept their behavior as a "lifestyle".
I still don't know the origin of 'faggot'. The only other reference is a bundle of sticks. How it got to it's current meaning I don't know.
I do know the background of gibrone, also pronounced jay-brone, or gibronie. One of my favorite descriptive terms.

The rainbow's ruined for me too. And so is San Francisco, Ice Skating, Ballet, and Musical Theater. All ruined.
You still have Liberace...
Very funny.
It's frightening you have that many Gay pic links so handy.
;)
Same for Judy Garland albums.

And Ethel Merman, had to get rid of all my Ethel Merman records.
Homosexual, lesbian gets the job done for me.
Those terms work for me, too.
Thanks for the ping. Funny thread.
Bump for truthful observations.
Language affects the mind. And much of language is manipulated by leftists to achieve social output.
AFAIK, "fag" comes from English "public" school usage. Public meaning private schools, of course. The boys' boarding schools - "fags" were younger classmen who were expected to serve the whims of the older classmen, which service sometimes including sodomy. C.S. Lewis mentions it in "Suprised by Joy" and I've read it elsewhere as well.
Even homophobia's been taken over.
Homophobia literally means 'fear of man'.
Oh. My. God. THEY'VE PERVERTED LATIN! :O
Get in there and give em' hell every chance you get!
