The Changing Definition of Fag

[kagriswold]

I saw the South Park episode, the F word.

Actually, even before that episode I knew the definition of Fag has been changing to mean: Douchebag.

I'm all for it.

I've been seeing it for a while now.

Even the term Gay is changing to mean: Lame. Feeble. Stupidassed. As in that show Ghost Hunters.

So what words are left for us?

Well, there's Queer. Homosexual

I never liked Queer and won't use it. Luckly, I'm an old fart and all my Gay and Lesbian friends are of the same generation. What's sad is that because of the work we did, young non-Hets don't "get" what the word was like and how hurtful words and the actions that came with them were. I was listening to a "youn'n claiming he was being "Oppressed" because his company wouldn't let him wear a kilt to work. That's not Oppression. Oppression is having a cop pull you out of your car because your boyfriend gave you a kiss goodbye. Oppression is having your rental agreement not renewed because your landlord figured out your Orientation. It's a small wonder a lot of us Old folks have pulled away for our communities in general. No common experience. While it's great that many kids now don't even have to "Come Out", it's really annoying to be considered a liar if you point out your experience wasn't so painless.....
