Yes, but doesn't "fag" in the UK mean "cigarette"? Hmmm... not sure I appreciate being called one of those, either!

Anyway, I wasn't insulted by SFMMHomie's remark. I consider the source, then move on. Whatever.

My point was that it is a very derogatory term, and if that sort of language was used against another group of people (blacks, Jews, hispanics) in the forums, somebody would get all apeShiz and people would be banned. I'm just wondering why it's apparently OK to use that sort of language against gays and nobody says anything.

It can mean either.

And yeah man, i kind of see your point.
