I found a blog on Huffington Post today about the use of the word Fag or Faggot. The author suggests it is time we reclaim the word and put a positive spin on it. What do you think? Did the author go to far or did he hit the nail right on the head? I don't use the word outside of social settings with other LGBT folks who know that there is no bad intent on my part. I do have a couple straight friends as well that use the word around me and I know they are not using it in a derogatory manner. What do you think? Do you use the "Gay F Word" or is it banished or should it be banished completely from vocabulary or should we reclaim it? We had a similar debate on the word "queer" on a blog post last year. Tell us here at Everybodysgood your thoughts!
