fag

A derogatory term for an LGBTQ+ person. (Though some would argue that it is only for homosexual people, I think any LGBTQ+ person should be able to reclaim it if they want, because everyone in the community is called that.)

**It is a slur** You cannot say this word unless you are LGBTQ+.

This word came to be because a fag used to be the word for a cigarette, but then homophobic people started calling LGBTQ+ people (more specifically gay people) that when they rolled them up in carpets and lit them on fire. Yes, that is a hate crime.

Adam (a cishet): bro you look like a fag
Alex: You can't call people that, it is a slur, and you are not lgbtq
