Please Tom do a bit of research before you spew BS.
Fairy, Puff, Gay, Fag, Poof, Poofta, Queer, Nancy Boy, Queen, Pansy, Fruit, Faggot, Dyke, Pederast, Homo and Sodomite etc are all used to describe the effeminate gay man.......or the stereotype of a gay man.
> If we are going to do this round and round in cirles everyone interprets things differentley rubbish, then we better shut the forums down quick. As I'm sure somebody somewhere will interprete every single poast as offencive.
Tell that to the Republican party in the USA who spent millions of dollars 'Framing" the Democrat party as a bunch of green, nigger-wettback-loving, unpatriotic, UN loving, global warming alarmist, tax increasin' limp-wristed gay marriage advocates.
Swift Boat Veterans against Kerry - you probably hadn't heard of that; it was all about words!
Uh....the Republicans won the election because of that framing using words...Hmmm I wonder how many people have died as a result of that - in Iraq.
The Soviet Union used words, Hitler used words, words were used in the Balkans to instil Hate, Hate, Hate.....and ultimately muder.
