I think "fag" certainly has more of a negative connotation in our language. This is not just a lifestyle but more of a persona, a gay man who's main sense of identity is based around being gay and how being gay shapes his relationships with people, his gay friends are fags, female friends are "fag hags", straight acquaintances are "breeders". Sexuality is forefront. Sex is more of a common topic of discussion, explicitness is expected, all the gory details. There is almost a sense that some of their dialogue is challenging those around them to feel uncomfortable. They claim the word "fag" and make it their own by making it an obvious statement. You are forced to confront that part of their persona as soon as you encounted them and you must make a decision, almost as immediately, of whether to be ok with it. This, I feel, can sometimes push away people who may be open minded about homosexuality, but don't feel completely comfortable with blatant references to sex in general. The word fag as used by straight people, often men, is more

i agree with the first two people, and maybe the third (i was too lazy to read the third). i'm gay...not a fag. i usually call most other gays fags because they are. i believe that 95% of gays are fags.

comparisons:
will truman: gay; jack: fag
shawn from real world or road rules or whatever: gay; guy from real world key west: fag
