Not a friendly "you faggot, you drank the last Coke". But someone they do not like, in public, where they'll hear -- can your kids call someone they don't like a 'faggot' as an insult?

Faggot means homosexual. Calling someone who is not a homosexual a faggot is an insult and no, they can't use it for that. If someone is a homosexual, yes, they can use it. That's what the word means.

So you go around referring to black people as "Negroes"?

And that's what Ann did, so she goofed, agreed?

And all these folks saying it was *not* an insult are just playing games. Politics as a 'team sport'. Anns on our team, therefore she can do no wrong.
