short hair don't care

Reasons why this post is stupid:

1. You are tokenizing your friends who are gay.  You are saying that because one lesbian and one gay man appear to find your joke amusing, that makes any kind of statement about your right to say that word.  It doesn’t.
2. You are implying that gay people who dislike hearing the word (like me!) , especially when used by straight people, are somehow less worthy of an opinion than gay people who go along with your joke.
3. Why would you want to use a word that’s used to oppress people?  Why would you want a word that people scream as they’re beating people to death?
4. Saying “faggot” isn’t even funny.  Get a new joke.  Be creative.  If you’re that bad at being funny, then give up on trying to be humorous because you have an awful sense of humor.
5. Really you’re not funny.
6. Also you’re an ass.

Then I hope to god that you never use the phrases:

• “That’s the lamest joke I’ve ever heard”
• “You’re dumb”
• “Mute that, please”
• “You’re blind to what’s in front of you”
• “That’s fucking retarded”
• “MAH NIGGA!”

…because those are also extremely offensive and hurtful to certain groups of people, but used by the majority of the population in a modern context to mean something completely different and unoffensive to the respective group of people that the terms were originally intended for. The original poster of the chat is obviously a closeminded douchebag, but you’re being overly sensitive about something that’s obviously meant to be a joke.
