Faggot: 1. A bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches bound together. (The American Heritage Dictionary)
In other words, that which the fires of hell shall be kindled with on judgement day.
(This we know because the apostle Saint Paul told us so in so manywords in one of his pastoral letters.)

Until quite recently, science used the word ‘pederasty’.

It does not bother me to be called a heterosexual. I always thought being called "straight" was a little strange.

“abnormal” is also a correct term.

“Straight” as opposet to “warped”. Does that clear it up?

Every language that I’m aware of has at least one slang word for abnormal behavior, and usually only one word for normal behavior. Go figure, you poofter!

Sodomite is really the correct word to use in this context. More insane ‘Newspeak’ from the libtards over at NYT and their various associates.
This is a little like the term ‘woman’ being phased out in favor of ‘chick’ or something ridiculous.
You have to shake your head at the section in which a Marxist professor proclaims he ‘corrects’ his students when they use the term ‘homosexual’. Well, Ernst Roehm and his merry band of Brownshirts would definitely be proud of this peon. Keep your kids out of public schools and these kinds of colleges. Totally infiltrated with filth.
Don’t forget, ‘pedophile’ may one day be an offensive term. It will give way to some softer term.

I guess the language police want us to stop using the word “homosexual” which means I will go out of my way to use it to describe said homos lol

Let me teach them an easier word to get used to ... it only has three syllables, so even the dumbest in our self-absorbed culture should be able to say it - SODOMITE ...
How about this one?

I will stick with “homo” or “queer”.
I never understood why they chose “gay”. What is gay about sodomy?

I always try to show respect by struggling out the entire five syllables of Homosexual(ity) but
if they want we can just revert to the much-easier terms of endearment, so to speak...
such as
h...
and
f..
and
p...
hey, they’re all uni-syllabic. The kind of words that so many of today’s journalists should be most comfortable with, eh?
